Hix Green made the Catch

Maybe we will achieve a full 60 minutes for the Championship!

I'm pretty sure that Lane and LSU are intentionally rebelling--it helps to foment an us-versus-them state "patriotic" fight against the big bad SEC trying to "run our lives". I really do believe it is calculated, to the end that it stirs up the passions and frenzy of the "loyal ones" while LSU could go unbeaten and could very well play for a national championship. They could go for undiluted, full-blown victim status--a David vs. Goliath that would galvanize SEC haters around LSU against bullying by the SEC. It never fails to amaze me at the lengths people will go just to get their way--doesn't matter to them the chaos and destruction that's left in their wake. I detest LSU right now for its selfishness, but that's just me...I understand where Lane is coming from, but it's an extremely parochial view...very sad.

My first thought...

Mine was Jack Collins from the 1959 team that played national champion Syracuse in the Cotton Bowl. He played a great game in that loss to what was clearly a superior Syracuse team. I still remember the cover of Dave Campbell's Texas Football the following summer: "Jack Campbell--Texas' next All-American back?"

Right... from Sonny Gibbs, wasn't it? He was 6'7" as I recall, Gibbs that is.

I know what you mean, but I must correct my post above. Texas played TCU in the odd numbered years in Austin, so both of the upsets from '59 and '61 occured at home... By the way there are still quite a few of us from that era! ☺️

As a 12 year old I was heartbroken about that loss to TCU in 1961 at Fort Worth. It was the second time in three years that TCU upset the previously unbeaten Longhorns. (the first was in 1959 at TCU's home field) It wasn't until 1963 that Texas would go undefeated and become undisputed national champions.

For Michael Taafe Preseason Performance "Mixed Reps: Opposing quarterbacks have targeted the rookie at times during joint practices. [1] Big Plays: He has responded by recording a crucial pass breakup in nearly every practice session, including an end-zone stop during joint workouts with the Commanders and a clean break on a short throw against the Giants. [1, 2] Roster Outlook: He is currently positioned as one of the four primary safeties on early depth projections alongside Dante Trader Jr., Lonnie Johnson Jr., and Zayne Anderson. [1]"

Trey Moore was having a good camp and was expected to start the season as a Dolphins first team linebacker. He hurt his ankle in the first quarter and will be out indefinitely. Quinn Ewers was 1 for 8 with an interception... battling a groin injury.

I haven't smoked in years, but....

As my father used to say, "Here's your hat, what's your hurry?"☺️

😘 Understandable...we Longhorn fans know all about (false) hopium...I look forward to more Sooner tears.😢

Gabe Watson...

What kind of a take is that? LOL. We absolutely reject maturity and patience!

I remember him well, particularly as others have mentioned, he was from Wisconsin??? (very unusual) I know the story about sending Dodd his HS film is true, but I did not know that it was an aunt who sent it in. It's hard to convey how dominant the Texas wishbone was in those early years, and Jim Bertelsen was a big factor in that offense. Once Royal found Street to run it, followed by Eddie Phillips after Street graduated, it was a prolific offensive scheme.
