I read an article many, many years ago that was mainly about Butkus but several NFL players chimed in and said the hardest hitter in the NFL was Nobis and not Butkus. Truly a legend.

This discussion should also consider the three man backfields during the wishbone years. Wooster, Bertleson and I am not certain but it may have been Koy. Also important to remember that for his freshman season, Earl Campbell started out at fullback but I do not remember the two halfbacks.

I was in attendance for Leaks game in Dallas against SMU. It was a blowout and Leaks had been pulled. When coach Royal learned that he was close to 300 yards in the game he put him in for one final play. On that final play for Leaks, he broke it up the middle and scored from 50 yards out.

I saw Doug English when he was in Junior High school in Dallas. I was a friend of his sister Tina. Doug has always been as good of a human being as he has been a football player. It is hard for me to imagine a better number 74 in Texas history. The Detroit Lions would also second my opinion when it comes to his ability as a football player.

Proud for the young man.

What are the odds that Yormark grows a spine?

I was in the student section when Eddie Phillips hit Cotton Speyer to lead the comeback against UCLA at Memorial stadium in 1970. One of the best situations of grabbing a win from a dire situation.

I am fortunate enough to be old enough to remember watching Chris. Very talented player on some very good teams. Back in the day, as a kid, we were able to get into the end zone to watch games while our parents enjoyed their season tickets elsewhere in the stadium. We actually only had to pay $1 for those seats back in the 60's.
