100 Day Countdown to Kickoff

[Hideo Gump Jr.]

#39 - DE - Brian Robison applying the "Bomared" to Rhett Bomar!!

Incredible athlete. This guy could have been an Olympian and possibly medaled has he chosen to concentrate on track.
An assistant coach at Splendora told me he once convinced the head coach to line him up at tailback in a district game. The first time he touched the ball he ran 40 yards for a score. Not sure if he played tailback much after that.
Eleven years in the league.

Ryan Bailey

Ruining everybody’s day in Lincoln, 2006.​

Saw the game after taking a red-eye from Taipei to LA and then another red-eye to Houston.

Not sure, but here’s the bigger question. Have we had any players wear negative numbers? Because we may have to do that. LOL.

#34 Ricky Williams

#34 Ricky Williams

Oh yeah, I remember THAT #34... he was decent!

^He had an acceptable career at Texas.

Texas tornado!

Ray Poage, Houston Lamar HS....

... shown here in a 13-0 Cotton Bowl loss to LSU, Texas’ only loss that season (a 14-all tie with Rice being their only other blemish).
All-SWC, All-American 1962.
Eight years in the league.

That is not LSU.

 

[WorsterMan]

That is not LSU.

Those uniforms look like what Ole' Miss wore.

 

[Hideo Gump Jr.]

That is not LSU.

As to that, I’m sure you’re right.
As for today, Tim Doerr from Cleburne HS.

... vs. Arkansas’ Jon Brittenum in 1963. His interception late in the game sealed a 17-13 victory.

Dayum Hideo Gump!

You come up with so many ALLSOME old Horns football photos I've never seen! Give us your secret source!

My favourite DB of all time, Aaron Ross #31

 

[Hideo Gump Jr.]

Kiki DeAyala.

AA in 1982. 40.5 sacks in his career with 22.5 in 1982 alone. Though not as physically gifted as Rak, Crowder, Robison or others on the forty, arguably the best defensive end ever to wear a Longhorn uni.
Thoughts?

 

[WorsterMan]

Who else?

#30 - RB - All-American Fullback in the Wishbone: Steve Worster

I did an internet search on Ray, and found out he died at the age of 56.
The only thing I could find was that he died a tragic death in 1997.
Anybody know the cause of death? 56 is pretty young.
