Countdown to Football

Recyclying a prior photo that also featured #40 Randall Peschell:

#52 Forrest Wiegand (OL 1967-69) had a terrific view of the game-winning touchdown in the Game of the Century. Here are two photos capturing that moment.

#40 - Phenom RB Butch Hadnot, 1990-1991. Breakout game vs. ou 1990 and then a HUGE game vs. UH 1990. Everyone was saying he was the next Earl. So much potential...

I haven't thought about Hadnot for a long time. My senior year was 1990-91, and he was the MAN! Does anyone know what came of him?

He went back to UT in June of last year to finish his degree. Played a couple of years in NFL (Tampa Bay) He also has a youth sports league the BHY. That's about all I know about him.

Won't the LHB look tremendous in South Bend?

Yes, the Show Band of the Southwest.



Oh, wait, there is no money in SteveyP's smart budget

They would look good eating pizza at 2am on dirty 6th.

Bomar'd!

#39 Brian Robison separates Sooners QB Rhett Bomar from the ball

NJHorn - good call - same BAD *** player and same play came to mind when I thought about #39:

 

[WorsterMan]

Remember this key stop versus the Trojans!?

Curtis Jackson, WR, 1992-1996

From the 1941 Team's Archives, #39 Chal Daniel

 

[NJlonghorn]

Damn, it is hard to figure out from the web which players match which uniform numbers from back in the day. When I google Chal Daniel, I get several photos of a guy wearing #66, one with #39 (BevoJoe's post), and one (of a different guy?) wearing #65. Daniels' page on Fanbase shows photos with all three numbers. Was it common for players to switch numbers back then?

Regardless, here's a news clipping about Daniels' death in a military training accident:

 

[BevoJoe]

Yeah, seems like the guys changed numbers a lot back then.

 

[NJlonghorn]

Not quite Bomar'd, but #38 Roddrick Muckelroy, LB from '05 to '08, separates Tech QB Taylor Potts from the ball

 

[NJlonghorn]

Good for 38 and 37 -- Dusty Mangum's FG seals a 38-37 win over Michigan in the 2005 Rose Bowl

#38 LB Glen Gaspard. 1971-1973. All-SWC 1972, 1973

LB - Mr. Cecil Cherry!!!

I cannot wait until his arrival and impact on fall camp. He, Malik and the D are going to blow up the Irish O!

 

[Godz40acres]

So, no Showband and now no Bevo. Thanks, Stingy Stevey and cocky cathlicks.

Next year when ND returns the visit to Austin, I say we impose the DKR ban on creepy leprechaun mascots!

Add green, black and gold to the ND return visit ban list!
