Countdown to Football

[Dionysus]

Damn, I missed my opportunity to post my high school basketball photo. #31!

Better late than never.

That gave me a good chuckle.

We are getting close, and I am getting pumped!

Here's #24 John Bonney, projected to start at nickel as a redshirt freshman.

[NJlonghorn]

When I posted Lam Jones yesterday, I made a mental note to post Ham Jones today. So much for mental notes. Am I really that old?

RB - # 24 A. J. "Jam" Jones 1978 - 1981:

I missed Ham and Jam.

 

[HornSwoggler]

Wondering why there wasn't a Bam, Slam, Ram or Wham Jones over the years. Brian Jones should have been named something rhyming with AM. And what about the small speedy WR, Tony Jones.

Steve Fleming #24 RB 1970-1972

Limas Sweed, from that same NU game as above in 2006.

 

[HornSwoggler]

Well done, VYF!

# 23 awaits on Thurs.... we are getting close to kickoff people!!

 

[VulcanHorn]

The keg in my kegerator went flat. I have 23 days to clean it out and tap a new keg.
Only question is, what would be a good beer to start the season?

A good German lager. I don't drink American beer except for Shiner. Blue Moon is good but I don't put an orange in it.

#23 Jeff Ward kicking off in 1984, and current kicker #23 Nick Rose nailing a short FG against OU

 

[WorsterMan]

# 23 RB & Punter - Ernie Koy Jr. 1962-1964. Here taking a pitch and running for a TD as UT upsets #1 Alabama in the 1/1/65 Orange Bowl.

This is such an awesome photo and SI cover!

#23 Lee Jackson

The FG photo is also a good action shot of #37, long snapper Nate Boyer. He has a good view of #80's armpit.

Rodney Tate (78-81)

Chris Samuels (87-90)

There's already several great pictures of Ernie Koy--here's another one from the 1965 Cotton Bowl, in which the #3 Longhorns beat #1 ranked Alabama 21-17 Alabama had already been crowned national champions--that's just the way they did it.
(So, if anyone feels reluctant to claim our 1970 championship, just substitute this one!)

Wasn't that the Orange Bowl in '65?

 

[Godz40acres]

Some guy named Andy Way made a Star Wars themed UT hype video (4:19)...

Nice way to ask... Yes, of course, I said it all wrong! It was the Orange Bowl! That makes it only better.
