Sailor, is Scipio going to write about the deep snapper’s & holders? Is there an over/under for Chris Jessie recovering a fumble this year? On a more serious note, I vote for Johnny Lam Jones for the top 10. I saw him run in person and he was amazing.

why in the world is scip working on a knickers position preview? tell him and sasha that this is football.

I am not good at lists but the games I loved best would be the NC game at the Rose Bowl in 05, the game of the century against Arky in 69. You can pick some random UT – OU games to fill out the list. I loved the 45-38 game and the Stony Clark stop at the goal line game.

Fave players were VY, Colt, The Ghost, Earl and Tommy Nobis. Yeah, I’m old

Forgot James Street. I loved that cocky dude

6. ’05 Texas vs. Ohio State
7. ’05 Rose Bowl vs. Michigan
7. ’77 Texas vs OU
8. ’96 Big 12 Title game vs. Nebraska

hg03, good list of games. I’d have ’65 Texas vs. Alabama and Joe Willie Namath in the Orange Bowl replacing either 77 OU or 95 ATM.

I am above writing lists. (sniff) Sorry.

But Haka? Really? That’s retarded. This Haka sh*t has gotten totally out of hand. It’s a sacred rite of a warrior people who would then run out into the hills naked and hunt wild boar with sharpened sticks. It’s just about the only thing on earth that makes football players look like wussies. It’s embarrassing to watch. If you’re not Maori or on the New Zealand rugby team, JUST STOP.

Top 10 games, chronologically-

1940 TAMU win
1957 TAMU win
1958 OU win

1977 OU win
2006 USC win
2009 NU win

#1. Johnny Lam Jones, best pure athlete no contest

Only 10 wins? Only 10 athletes? They set the bar too low in terms of how long they could make this run.

Didn’t the LHN announce it would show highschool highlights of our recruits? I.e. we won’t show live games per the moratorium, so we’ll just show interviews and highlights? If so I love it, goad the farmers!

i tell you somebody who needs to make some list is tim campbell. another is roosevelt leaks from the same era. those are two guys who, had they not had grievous injuries, would have left broad marks on the program.

Based on what I have heard, this didn’t get covered in the discussions, but the league apparently will say this is not permitted.

The moment I heard about the Southern Miss v Iowa logo war, the first thing that popped into my mind was a six-armed Cyclo-bird in a tank, running over Count Chocula.

The next thing that went through my mind was the pressing need to stifle waves of Remembrance Laughter, lest I devolve into an uncontrollable torrent of tears that would make Sally Struthers jealous.

The third thing that went through my mind is relief, that the link to the article was right there, and I would not have to go through the extra keystrokes to Google for “Iowa State mascot Skeletor” in order to find the piece.

The fourth thing that went through my mind was congrats to the Big-12(-2), for placing almost six of it’s ten teams in the preseason Top-25.

The fifth thing that went through my mind was the re-classification of Nebraska to the Big-10(+2), which takes you down to five.

The sixth thing that went through my mind is that the only thing that would be as funny as the Cyclone mascot article would be an Iowa State upset of Nebraska — which won’t happen now.

The seventh thing that went through my mind that that maybe I had stretched this meme too far, and should have stoppe

TexasTough, I don’t think coaches can talk about verbal commits. Mack Brown may say he’s very happy today at the spring game (when Jonathan Gray commits) but he can’t state that it’s because of the commitment. I would think that targeting verbals would be a no no as well for the same reason. Everybody has to play dumb even though you know they are verbal commits. I think UT Knoxville got in trouble under Kiffen for sending cheerleaders with banners to high school games in South Carolina. In that case they weren’t verbal commits, just players they were recruiting.

Don’t forget the Holiday Bowl against Washington. A mid-tiered bowl, but Major’s comeback was pretty awesome.

Athletes: What about Bobby Layne and Tom Landry?

Clemens.

KT: I don’t think he was talking about having Texas coaches talk about their commits.

I wasn’t but I think I got Ktrout’s point. Even though LHN is owned by ESPN, showing highlights etc can be construed as violating the spirit of the rule that prohibits coaches from talking about recruits.

I think this whole thing is funny and I love that we’re testing the limits with 100% transparency, but to be honest it could become a circus if every school could turn their recruits into TV stars. I’d like to see ESPN2 or a regional network not affiliated with schools do that stuff.

It’s good to see the ’77 OU game getting some love here. That may be my favorite of all time. Best goal line tackle by Johnson on Lott, Earl putting a team on his back, and doing it all after your first two QBs go down… plus the greatest clutch punt ever (and how often do you hear that said???)

In addition to the usual suspects, I must admit I always had a thang for Destinee Hooker.

Clemens.

He wasn’t even the best pitcher on the team.

You know, I always felt sorry for the poor announcer who obviously knew the 2-deep up and down, but had no clue who the 3rd string QB was when he came into the game.

I bet you did.

The possessive of Texas is Texas’s.

Daves’ right. Your awesome. Blue Ribbon Circle, imo.

The Dream Wagon looks just like I pictured it in my mind. Except for the unicorns and the rainbows. I picture it pulled by unicorns that shart rainbows.

Call it the Pabst Blue Ribbon Circle and magnus will give you 10,000 words by 10 AM.

an uncontrollable torrent of tears that would make Sally Struthers jealous.

10. Sally Struthers vs. Jack Nicholson, Five Easy Pieces – bouncing off the walls and furniture, so many fond mammaries.

Athletes: What about Bobby Layne and Tom Landry?

Old. White. Dead. A suitable duo for a movie/song title: High on Jack and Jesus. Admit it, you can hear the steel guitar and fiddles already, can’t you?

The 2004 game against Arkansas is among my favs (the Larry Dibble game). It just felt like we finally beat somebody tough in the Mack Brown era and that the Age of Vince would be different from the past.

I was searching the net and landed on your website. I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing your posts and will be back to interact with your community.
