Hmm, I just realized, I don' know what the K. stands for. Anybody know?

"Born July 6, 1924, Darrell K. Royal has a middle initial but no middle name. The "K" is in honor of his mother, Katy, who died when he was an infant. She succumbed to cancer, but because of the taboo then surrounding the disease, Royal was led to believe until he was grown that she had died giving birth to him."

thanks, whoever said villa capri, I'm right there with you, but I think we should call it Holiday House

George W. Bush Memorial Stadium, take DKR out of it.

Like others have said, putting DKR on it is stupid. Texas Memorial Stadium.

But heck I don't like naming stadiums after players/coaches/alumni or retiring numbers and such. Individuals should never take place above the University and team.

Well, The Tacklebox seems to have worked for Kyle Field!

This is getting intenser.

It will always be TEXAS MEMORIAL STADIUM to me.

The "sit down, I can't see the field" stadium

You call this thing the "DK Corral" and you will have more problems than a little bit.

this whole idea is so aggy.

 

[Steel Shank]

So how in the hell did this damn fiasco wind up?

 

[tropheus]

quick, someone tell Dodds to inform all boosters, young and old, rich and poor that the nickname rights will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. That would be great! More income for the AD!

Didn't Vince purchase the name "The Rose Bowl?"

I could live with that one.
