Don Wilson, Houston Lamar

From another school that has produced a stream of great players for the Steers.
All-American, MVP of the 1957 Sugar Bowl team (DKR’s first Longhorn team; the thumping they took from Ole Miss changed the way he approached bowl games).

 

[WorsterMan]

Allsome historical find and post HG. So many of DKR's early players laid the foundation for future success!!

I frequently learn something new about the earlier Horns from your knowledge and deep dives!!

We got any former players that wore #60 we can honor on our thread Tuesday?

 

[SabreHorn]

I know of one, and no way in hell he deserved to wear that jersey.

 

[LonghornEE72]

I know of one, and no way in hell he deserved to wear that jersey.

If it's who I'm thinking of, I agree.

 

[WorsterMan]

I know of one, and no way in hell he deserved to wear that jersey.

I KNOW who you think did not deserved to wear #60, but I shall not mention his name!

 

[SabreHorn]

I KNOW who you think did not deserved to wear #60, but I shall not mention his name!

My sincere appreciation

You talkin' 'bout me again, WM? 'Cause me & T.N. BOTH rocked #six oh. (Although T.N. was a little bigger, stronger, meaner, badder than I was. Also, he won a few more awards than I did. But hey, we both played Texas High School FB & we both wore #60)

 

[WorsterMan]

#60 was worn by this All American and #1 NFL draftee of the Atlanta Falcons. The GREAT Tommy Nobis:

The GREAT Tommy Nobis:

Always admired that haircut. Him and Johnny Unitas.

 

[Hideo Gump Jr.]

Johnny Treadwell, Austin SFA
All-SWC, consensus AA offensive guard in 1962 and also the team MVP. Houston Post SWC Defensive MVP. Hall of Honor 1985.
Academic All-American ‘62 & ‘63, was a practicing veterinarian for forty years after his football career ended. Teamed with Pat Culpepper in an iconic photo that in my mind exemplified Longhorn football for the period.

Oh, and Tommy Nobis got to wear his number.

 

[Horn6721]

The hot summer sillies somehow add to the countdown.

The Horns mauled Tenn that day. The game was not as close as the score might indicate.
