Since you are the Worster Man, let me add another Donnie Wiggington picture--with three very interesting people: Wiggington, Happy Feller and Steve Worster:

From my wife's home town of Hawkins, Texas, the Sheriff Stanley Richard, an NCAA All-American, a first-round draft choice who played in a Super Bowl.

NJ has us going off on another tangent, dammit. Let me have a secant or two to get this train back on the rails.

2 weeks & 4 days to kickoff.

#17 Willie Mack Garza, a CB from 88 to 92. Career started stronger than it ended, due to leg injuries IIRC. Later became DB coach at Tennessee and USC under Lane Kifflin

If Swoopes and Heard don't work out this year, and Trey Holtz doesn't step up, Coach Strong can turn to #17, walk on QB Jimmy Greenwood. Jimmy wore #19 last year but took over #17 with the departure of Miles Onyegbule.

NJ once again demonstrating his creative and technical prowess!

No offense to Mr. Greenwood, but let's hope there is not a reason to need to reach all the way down the in the QB bag to pull him out.
 
Speaking of Fred Akers, here's his near-namesake #17 Fred Acorn, who was recruited by Akers as a wide receiver but later became an all-SWC defensive back.

This. It is not a good sign that a search of the world wide interwebs turns up picture after picture of Greenwood hanging out on the sidelines, not even suited up. In the photo below, he is suited up sitting with all of the QBs at the Spring Game (L-R, its Holtz, fellow walkon Logan Vinklarek, Greenwood, Swoops, and Heard).

I did see mention of the fact that Greenwood completed a pass in the Spring Game. Huge props to anyone who posts a photo or video of that.

Current #16 is walk on QB Logan Vinklarek, shown hear warming up for the Texas Bowl last year. Maybe we should've given him a series or two. Couldn't've been worse.

Remember when we could count on #16 Dave Thomas for a tough catch in a key situation from the tight end spot? Those days are coming back, my friends!

I suppose by posting this I am admitting I am one of the "old timers"... regardless, I'm ready for some Horn Football !!!


#16 QB & Longhorn Legend, the late James Street from Longview TX. 1967-1969:
