    Pay attention to Gable. He will be a star when it’s all said and done (with a super shady past).

    Thanks for weighing in. No one is forcing you to click on this thread. It’s also not street fighting, fwiw. And I let my kids watch and neither one of my sons that do are delinquents. But thanks for playing.

    I’m pumped for Gable fight. I think he can take UFC by storm before it’s all said and done. Guys that big should not be able to move that quickly. I’ve gone back and forth on McGregor. But man from a physical standpoint he looks phenomenal.

    We’re 59 days away from Texas football and this one is a little different. There isn’t a long list of legendary No. 59s and Lee Lyles gets the nod here. Lyles was a three-year letterman at center from 1972-74, started during the early 1970s Darrell Royal era, helped anchor one of Texas’ potent rushing offenses, and then went on to play professionally. So we’re also looking at No. 59 by the numbers. The 1961 Texas defense gave up just 59 points all season, finished 10-1 and won the Cotton Bowl. That remains one of the stingiest defensive seasons in school history. And then there are the 59-yard touchdown passes: Case McCoy to Marcus Johnson in the 2013 Red River upset of No. 12 Oklahoma. Major Applewhite to Wane McGarity in the 1999 Cotton Bowl win over Mississippi State. Arch Manning to Parker Livingstone in the 2025 win over Mississippi State. Not the easiest countdown day, but No. 59 still gives us a few pretty cool Texas football nuggets.

    We’re 60 days away from Texas football and this is one of the strongest groups in the entire countdown. Tommy Nobis is clearly the headliner. National champion, Outland Trophy winner, Maxwell Award winner, two-time All-American, three-time First-Team All-SWC, No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick, College Football Hall of Famer and one of the few Longhorns to have his number retired. He’s not just the best No. 60… he’s one of the greatest players in Texas football history. But the rest of the group is stacked too. Johnny Treadwell was a unanimous All-American and one of Texas’ great two-way players. Britt Hager is still the program’s career tackles leader with 499. Jeff Leiding was a consensus All-American and leader of that nasty 1983 defense. Robin Sendlein was a team captain and forced-fumble machine. Brian Jones helped lead the 1990 SWC title team and had a huge season at linebacker. Nobis stands alone at the top, but No. 60 has a ridiculous amount of linebacker history behind it.

    When you're a boxing champion, a wrestling champion, a football All-American and a five time Pro-Bowl selection... you're a grade A, certified bad ass.

    We’re 61 days away from Texas football, so today’s countdown features one of the greatest linemen to ever wear the Burnt Orange. Bud McFadin headlines No. 61 after earning two All-America honors, winning SWC MVP in 1950, and later being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Paul Jetton also deserves recognition after becoming a two-time All-SWC selection, team captain and NFL Draft pick. Who gets your vote as the best Longhorn to ever wear No. 61?
  21. Blake Munroe
    That’s a dang good one. Occasionally, I’ll admit, we do miss them. Keeping up with hundreds of players across 100 diff numbers is definitely a tall task.

    We’re 62 days away from Texas football. Today’s No. 62 group features Lyle Sendlein, June James and current Longhorn Connor Robertson. Sendlein is the headliner here. A starter on the 2005 national championship team, First-Team All-Big 12 in 2006, and a guy who finished his Texas career with 39 straight starts. He then carved out a really solid NFL career with the Cardinals, playing 136 games with 124 starts over nine seasons. June James was a four-year Longhorn and starting linebacker during the Fred Akers era before being drafted by the Lions in 1985 and spending time with Detroit and Indianapolis. And the current No. 62 is Connor Robertson, a senior offensive lineman who has played in 30 career games with eight starts and brings Academic All-Big 12 honors with him.

    I’d be shocked if they didn’t have backup plans.
  24. Blake Munroe
    They literally just went to the CWS.

    Texas didn’t get lockered for both. Laya was more NIL. Donate. The other was a completely different situation. It is what it is.
