December 11, 20214 yr There is threads on Dave on Arkansas message boards as well. He had the SWC covered.
December 11, 20214 yr Like him, hate him or love him, and everything in between…a Texas football publishing legend.I have never heard of anyone hating him, ever. I worked at the Texas sports hall of fame in college and he was universally respected. I planned the magazine release party one year!

December 12, 20214 yr I know most cities in Texas because of him. I would get the mag in the summer and by the following year, I had pretty much memorized it.
December 12, 20214 yr Most of the kids my age thought Christmas was the best day of the year. For me it was when the new Texas Football hit the newsstands.
December 16, 20214 yr Texas Football Magazine Bill DeOre and Bill McLanahan editorial cartoons of the SWC. These are the things I miss the most about growing up in the 60's. Dave Campbell did the most outstanding job of documenting all of Texas football, from the six man squads to the Cowboys. No one will ever come close to what he produced. RIP to a Texas legend.

December 16, 20214 yr A Texas Icon and Legend. Any kid who was mentioned in DCTF knows what that honor means. He was also our neighbor in Waco so I got to know what an humble and genuine man he was.

I loved the fact that he covered just about every HS team in the state and he would always mention a kid or two that played for that team. I think I have a copy that had my name in it. Way in the back, in small print. But it made you feel like you were on the front cover.
