Rumor from that back in the day: Cory attended a HF tailgate briefly before a game... some of our more mature posters may have been there or remember that.

Cory's mom and stepdad were always at the HornFans tailgates, as were other players' parents. Cory and teammates would regularly stop by for some meaty goodness before heading out to enjoy the Austin nightlife.

Of the great linebackers that have come through the forty, always thought he was under appreciated. Totaled 292 tackles in his career including a team leading 112 and 102 in 2008 & 9 (historically two of our better teams) respectively.
Second team All B12 in ‘08.
Fourth round pick of the Bengals. Career cut short by injuries.

Team captain 1978.
HOH 2020.
Half of the Dolphin's "Bruise Brothers" tandem and quarter of some of the best defensive backfields the Horns ever fielded.

A 6' 200 lb. fullback shown here on a short run during a 17-0 victory over TCU in 1963.
He rushed for 845 yards and 7 touchdowns in his Longhorn career where he won one national championship and came within one point of earning another.
His fourth quarter fumble recovery on an unexplainable lateral in the '63 Aggie game saved Texas from a humiliating defeat and produced a comeback victory.
And their first Natty.
The turnover made the Reggie Bush lateral in 2006 look like an aggressive, well thought-out play. It buried the needle on the stupidity meter. Dumb even by Aggie standards.
Leading rusher on the '65 team.

That secondary of Johnnie Johnson, Ricky Churchman, Derrick Hatchett and Blackwood was one of Texas’ best ever!

Thanks Forrest's brother for some football history I didn't know!

A player on DKR's first Texas team in 1957, became the first soccer style kicker in American football kicking a first half field goal in a 17-0 upset of previously undefeated Arkansas. He was born in Poland in 1936 and survived three years in a nazi concentration camp in WWII.
 
#35.... cannot leave off HB Jim Bertelsen from Hudson WI...

in one of my fav photos of him below. This was 1970 vs. Ark. Final was 42-7 and I was there to enjoy it.

Drafted by the Rams and was a starting RB for 5 years.

Shown here on a bad November day in Collie Station, 1975. Walker suffered through an injury-plagued career in which he rushed for 524 yards and 6 touchdowns from 1974-76.

Epilogue: the Ags triumphed that day 20-10 (Robert Jackson and Ed Simonini pictured) to go to 10-0 with an #2 ranking and national championship talk was plenty. They managed however to lose their final two games by a combined score of 51-6 to finish at #11.
Ah, the sweet taste of schadenfreude.
