More on Forrest: Career Overview • Position: Offensive Tackle/Center • Years Active: 1967–1969 • Key Achievement: Inducted into the Texas Longhorns Hall of Honor in 2017 • Notable Season: 1969, when he was a key member of the national championship team under coach Darrell Royal. Contributions and Impact • 1969 National Championship: Wiegand was a three-year starter and a critical part of the offensive line during Texas’ 1969 national championship season. His blocking helped power the Longhorns’ famed Wishbone offense, which was instrumental in their 15-14 victory over No. 2 Arkansas in the “Big Shootout,” a game that decided the national title with President Richard Nixon in attendance. A memorable moment captured in a photograph shows Wiegand celebrating with a “jump for joy” after running back Jim Bertelsen’s tying touchdown in that game. • Team Success: During Wiegand’s tenure, Texas compiled a strong record, including a 9–1–1 record in 1968 (Southwest Conference co-champions, Cotton Bowl victory over Tennessee) and a perfect 11–0 season in 1969. His contributions were vital to the team’s dominance in the Southwest Conference, winning titles in 1968 and 1969. • Versatility: Wiegand played both offensive tackle and center, showcasing his adaptability and strength on the line. His high snap in the 1969 Arkansas game was notable, but holder Donnie Wigginton secured it for a successful extra point that clinched the victory. Accolades and Legacy • Hall of Honor: Wiegand’s induction into the Texas Longhorns Hall of Honor in 2017 reflects his lasting impact on the program. This recognition highlights his role as a linchpin of one of Texas’ most celebrated teams. • Team Camaraderie: Wiegand’s connection with his teammates extended beyond the field. He participated in reunions, including a 2013 event at the Clinton Presidential Library for a documentary screening about the Big Shootout, underscoring the enduring bond among the 1969 team members. • Historical Significance: The 1969 team, with Wiegand’s contributions, was ranked the 17th-best team in college football’s 150-year history, and the Big Shootout was listed as the 29th-best game of the era, emphasizing his role in a defining moment for the sport

I am going to attempt to remember this for sure.

Awesome. Glad it was an easy fix and always happy to hear people come back for more!

If possible, can you try one more thing for me... Will you login with a different browser and see if that works? Easier on a computer than a phone, so if you're doing this on a phone, I understand if you can't.... but if you're on a computer and can login with Edge/Chrome/etc, try that. If that doesn't work, I'll have to escalate this, as I don't have access to the account admin side of things unfortunately.

Can you log out and log back in and see if that helps? If not, you might want to clear your temp internet files/cache/cookies and try again. If neither of those work, lmk.

Actually there's an article that discusses how/why: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6465585/2025/07/07/college-football-best-rivalries-debate-rankings/

Clearly my best work yet.

A dominant defensive tackle, he recorded 29 career sacks, including a program-record 14 in 1978 (later surpassed). Acker was a four-year letterman, helped win the 1975 Southwest Conference co-title, the 1975 Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl, the 1977 Southwest Conference championship, and the 1978 Sun Bowl (42-0 over Maryland). He earned Second-team All-Southwest Conference honors in 1978 and was drafted in the sixth round by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1980, playing six NFL seasons.

The Athletic ranked the top 100 rivalries in college football and Texas gets three on the list, including two in the top 15. 38. Texas vs Arkansas First Meeting: Nov. 29, 1894 What to know: When Arkansas joined the SEC in 1992, this was a top-15 rivalry. It has a chance to inch upward now that they’re in the same conference again, but it’s unlikely the stakes will be as high annually as they were in the Southwest Conference. The SEC competition is too fierce and too much time has passed. From 1925 through Arkansas’ departure, the Razorbacks were the only non-Texas team in the SWC, which added to the saltiness between the programs. They’ve met 18 times as ranked opponents, and it was the nation’s best series from 1959-72, when both were ranked in 10 of their 14 matchups. Six of those games were top-10 matchups and four were decided by four points or less. Arkansas’ 42-11 win against Texas in 1981 remains the largest defeat by an AP No. 1 team against an unranked opponent since 1942. Biggest game: No. 1 Texas faced No. 2 Arkansas in a “Game of the Century” on Dec. 7, 1969, in Fayetteville, and it lived up to the hype. The schools agreed to move their game back to have a larger national platform, and the Hogs took a 14-0 lead into the fourth quarter. Texas rallied for 15 points and clinched the SWC title with an interception at its 21 with 1:13 left. President Richard Nixon attended the game and declared Texas the national champion. 15. Texas vs Texas A&M First Meeting: Oct. 19, 1884 What to know: When it comes to pure passion, few can match this one. But the win-loss column is fairly uneven and there aren’t nearly as many ranked matchups as other rivalries. Its fierce competition, however, keeps it as a top-15 rivalry. Both universities mention the other in fight songs. The opening lyric to “Texas Fight” begins “Texas fight, Texas fight, and it’s goodbye to A&M.” The second verse of “Aggie War Hymn" starts with “Good-bye to Texas University. So long to the orange and the white.” Their rivalry has spanned three leagues. Both competed as Southwest Conference members from 1915 until it dissolved after 1995. The Longhorns and Aggies (plus Baylor and Texas Tech) merged with the Big Eight to form the Big 12 in 1996, and their mutual association lasted until 2012, when Texas A&M left for the SEC. Texas and Texas A&M reunited in 2024 when the Longhorns joined the SEC. Both teams have been ranked in 11 matchups, with Texas holding an 8-3 edge. They've met in the top 10 twice (1941, 1975) with each team winning one. Biggest game: It was only fitting that No. 6 Texas and No. 16 Texas A&M met with the final Southwest Conference title at stake in 1995. Behind Ricky Williams’ 164 rushing yards and a defense forcing six turnovers, the Longhorns won 16-6 at Kyle Field to clinch their 19th outright SWC championship. 3. Texas vs Oklahoma First Meeting: Oct. 10, 1900 What to know: With two of the nation’s winningest programs, the Oklahoma- Texas result regularly impacts the national title hunt and, for the last three decades, conference titles. They’ve had 10 top-five collisions (Oklahoma leads 5-4-1) in five different decades, and the No. 1 team has played 13 times in this series. “The Red River Rivalry” is a legacy-defining game and often produces unpredictable outcomes. Oklahoma-Texas has called the Cotton Bowl in Dallas home since 1932. The seating arrangement splits at the 50-yard line with crimson and burnt orange circling opposite sides of the field. Oklahoma-Texas has an unusual trajectory among rivalries. They briefly competed together in the Southwest Conference (1915-19), then battled as nonconference foes from 1920 until their leagues merged into the Big 12 in 1996. In 2024, they joined the SEC together. The rivals have played 44 times as AP-ranked foes (Oklahoma 24-17-3) and 17 times as top-10 foes (Oklahoma 9-7-1). Biggest game: Of their 10 top-five matchups, the 1975 clash at the Cotton Bowl had the biggest national title impact. Texas rallied from a 10-point deficit to tie the score in the fourth quarter, before Oklahoma FB Horace Ivory burst up the middle for a 33-yard TD with 5:31 left to win 24-17. The Sooners finished 11-1 and claimed the AP national championship. Texas finished 10-2 and sixth in the final poll.

Someone is mad that their Ducks are losing in the first round. Joe wants them to take it quack… I mean back.

We discussed it this morning on C&F, but what are yall's thoughts?
