Most Iconic Plays in Longhorn Football History

No. Just drawing a parallel to two memorable Bevo plays. Going after Uga, and also crapping all over Nebraska's end zone in San Antonio.
 
Thought I would add a couple more that came to mind:

Dicker’s field goal to beat OU in 2018.

Alan Lowry’s 34 yard touchdown run with 4:22 left in the game to beat Alabama in the 1973 Cotton bowl. (The Chicken Bowl)
Lowry rushed for 116 yards on 16 carries and 61 yards passing, not bad for a defensive back that was converted to quarterback for his senior year. I say he was not out of bounds on the run, but am glad they didn’t have instant replay back then. Ha! bama fans still pissed about that play.

I was at that game. Sure thought we were already down like 14-0 or something at the time; I am remembering it as turning the game around. This was the throw-back across the field to the left side? Anyway, sure do remember that play and that game. The Aggies had put an orange painted armadillo in the middle of the field and the poor thing was wandering around lost. And, our flag guys ran over an aggie corp guy trying to preserve the honor of the field or whatever, and then he stuck his sword through the flag from below as they unfurled it, cutting a large bit of it.

Setting: Jan. 1, 1970 CB. Cold day. I was in the upper deck West side.

Horns trail ND 17-14 with about 2 min. left. 4th and 2 on irish 10.

How about: Despite fierce rush, Street barely connects with Spreyer for 8 yards and a first down.

HB Billy Dale gets the TD with great blocks from Wuensch and Peschell.

Horns win the game 21-17 and win the 1969 NC!!!

Fred Steinmark was honored that day.

:tower:

Great post, WM! The video below is cued to the "4th and 2 on Irish 10" play.



I always hated ThEEzman (the real pronunciation of his family name).

Joe "Theisman" was always an arrogant jackass UT hater and later Cowboy hater when he was QB for the Redskins.

Loathing was mutual for you bud and the teams you played for.

I never like to see injuries, especially serious ones. That said, I shed exactly 0 tears when that arrogant arse got his leg snapped in half.

While sooner tears are always delicious, I hate seeing little kids dragged into adult schadenfreude. It's punching down &, in my opinion, kids should be exempt.

To be fair, they bring it on, and this guys is probably an adult now if he has survived the meth and/or prison.

Besides, while getting pissed is okay, what titty baby cries like that when your team gets its *** whipped? I never did. Blame ABC for putting that kid on TV.

I see you pooped my comment. Do you think this guy is on Horn Fans? Is it Bubba? Why do you care if this pic is brought out of the archives once in a while?

Lighten up...or feel free to put me and others who are so horrible as to laugh at that pic on Ignore.

And have a nice day.

I don't care how old a pic is, adults laughing @/enjoying schadenfreude at the expense of children is, IMHO, punching down. Yes, ABC showed poor taste showing it in the 1st place. Children should be exempt. You are free to bring it up & I am free to poop on the behavior.

Thanks for the salutation & I, too, wish you a nice day.
