VY will have his jersey retired at the Florida Atlantic game
When the north temple end zone was built, it was only a matter of time before He returned.
“I’m really looking forward to getting back to Austin again, seeing everyone, reaching out to the community with my foundation event and cheering on my team,” Young said. “I was speechless when they told me about the jersey retirement earlier this summer and I still don’t think it’s sunk in. It’s such a great honor to be remembered in such a special way. Man, when I see that number and my name on the stadium … I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s just going to be such an unbelievable feeling for me and my family.”
You’re going down, Howard.

It’s the one week where Vince could make a home game, so it makes sense.
I hope they save Tommy Nobis for A&M. But since Arkansas was the major rival during his playing days they might pick that one.
He had a famous quote about the Hogs in the SI preview issue before 1965. Texas had lost the National Championship in 1964 with the loss to the Hogs.
When asked by SI if the 1964 loss still bothered him Nobis responded,
“I Think about Arkansas every day.”

I like the Arkansas idea for Nobis. Hopefully it will have the added benefit of helping Mack to focus on this one; maybe Tommy can help Mack better understand the history (read ‘hatred for those bottle-throwing, cousin-kissing, jort-wearing hillbillies’) between Texas and the pigs.
