    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?
  17. 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.
  20. 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.
  22. Blake Munroe
    All eyes on Peterson, imo. We know Emerson is gone. We know Brody is gone.

    We’re 64 days away from Texas football. Today’s No. 64 group is loaded with some serious big-man history. Casey Hampton headlines it... two-time First-Team All-American, 2000 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, 329 career tackles, 54 TFL, 5-time NFL Pro Bowler and 2-time Super Bowl champ. One of the best defensive tackles to ever come through Texas. Kasey Studdard was a key piece of the 2005 national title team, who earned All-Big 12 honors in both 2005 and 2006, helped clear the way for one of the most explosive offenses in Texas history, and won the Joseph W. Moore Award for Tenacity, which pretty much sums up the way he played. Bobby Mitchell was a Hall of Honor offensive lineman from the late-60s/early-70s run that included two national titles and three SWC championships. And Frank Bedrick owns one of the biggest individual plays in Texas bowl history: helping stuff Joe Namath on fourth-and-one at the goal line to preserve the Longhorns’ upset of No. 1 Alabama in the 1965 Orange Bowl. Who is your favorite?

    56+ = went over program record 57 = games played in, not just started

    We’re 65 days away from Texas football. Today’s No. 65 group features Jake Majors, Greg Dahlberg and Omar Saleh. Majors put together one of the most accomplished careers of any center in Texas history with a program-record 56+ starts, a Big 12 title, CFP appearance, SEC title game appearance, Campbell Trophy finalist honors and three Academic All-Big 12 First Team selections. Dahlberg was part of a monster era under Darrell Royal... a three-year letterman, 1970 national champion and three-time SWC champion from 1970-72. Saleh was a multi-year offensive lineman in the 1980s and part of the group that helped Texas win the 1987 Southwest Conference title.
