Tom Landry

[2003TexasGrad]

Maybe I've missed it over the years, but why isn't anything associated with the UT football team named after Tom Landry? I always forget he's a UT alumni. Surely we'd have his name on something right?

If you would have done the right thing and put this in West Mall, I could answer that for you. Sort of joking....

Hard to understand, really. Tex Schramm as well.

Well, if they ever do, I hope they spell his name correctly.

Jeez, what a stickler for detail. Lol

Is Tom Landy the one who recruited Selman Young, Quan Crosby, and Henry Shelton?

No, John Childs.

 

[RainH2burntO]

Apparently, this is him....

^^^Definitely deserves a plaque somewhere.

Landry deserves a statue but it would probably be torn down.

In my time on campus in the late 70’s/ early 80’s Gregory Gym had pictures of each years intramural champions dating back to who knows when. I remember in the basement across from the free weight room the ~1947 collage features an intramural swimming pic of a very young and ripped Tom Landry.

Geez. Of all the times to have a typo. I just now noticed!

From one who knows you can go back and fix it.

Yes but it will really screw up the thread if it gets fixed now.

Are Fedoras racist? We will need a commission to study this before a decision can be made.

You just need to worry about whether Landy is a Sponsor.

 

[RainH2burntO]

If only we had Landy on Saturday

 

[Chop]

Isn’t he that guy with the chain of seafood restaurants that Sabre likes so much?

 

[SabreHorn]

If Tom Landry had coached the Horns on Saturday, we likely would have lost by multiple scores because a LARGE number of players would have been kicked off the team before the trip to Dallas.

He would not put up with that ****.

Landry fired Henderson mid game in Philly did he not?
