I see what you did there. Take the number of seconds left in the game, divide by 2, add UT's rank at the time, and you get 74, the number of days until kickoff.

Clever.

No, my math skills are not that sophisticated. Honestly, you are the clever one for figuring that out. I am just periodically adding photos to the thread from past UT vs. ND games leading up to the opener vs. ND Sept. 5th.
 
I can't find a photo, but I have to mention #74 Sam Adams (OG 1989-92). He didn't play much, but his name went well with that of his teammate, Johnny Walker.
 
I really like Johnny Walker!! Great libation to celebrate a win and numbs the pain of a loss. Can't beat it.............................we are talking about scotch whiskey here aren't we?

Indirectly, yes. But more directly, I'm referring to #1 Johnny Walker (WR) and #74 Sam Adams (OL), who were Longhorn football teammates while I was in school there. I can't find a photo of Adams, but here's one of Walker:

Here's a video showing Sam Adams in action in 1991. He is listed in the starting lineup at 3:07. It looks like he must've gotten more playing time his senior season, after I was already gone.
