37 is definitely a “unique” number, unless you’re Doak!

Hook’em!!!

I remember Terry Orr from the Cotton Bowl vs Bama and The Bear. My Dad and I sat on the first row of the Visitors upper deck. During the 1st half I remember saying who was on the 49 or 50, depending on the angle. As a youngster back then, I was just glad to be at the game.

Little did we know, but that was the “Bears” last full season, prior to retiring the next season. It was a huge win for UT!

Hook’em!!!

Can’t forget Glen, and the Blackwood Brothers helping the Dolphins for a decade!

Hook’em!!!

Hall of Honor -- Glen Blackwood #37

Quote

Captain of the 1978 Longhorn football team, Glenn Blackwood was part of an incredible era of outstanding Texas defensive backs which first earned the Longhorns the nickname "DBU." The San Antonio native from Winston Churchill High School began his UT career in 1975, playing the final two years of Darrell Royal's tenure, and then played two years for Fred Akers. Playing in secondaries that included eventual NFL first-round draft picks Raymond Clayborn, Johnnie Johnson and Derrick Hatchett, Blackwood helped lead the Longhorns to a No. 1 ranking and a perfect 11-0 regular season in 1977. He led Texas in interceptions as the Longhorn won the Southwest Conference Championship and played for the National Championship that year. Despite losing the Cotton Bowl to Notre Dame, UT finished 11-1 (8-0 SWC) and ranked No. 4 nationally in the final Associated Press Poll and No. 5 in the UPI Coaches Poll. As a senior in 1978, Blackwood and the Longhorns went 9-3 and finished the year ranked No. 9 in both polls after capping the year with a 42-0 blowout of No. 13/12 Maryland in the Sun Bowl. A three-year starter for the Longhorns, Blackwood registered 131 tackles, four interceptions, 16 pass breakups, four caused fumbles and one fumble recovery and returned an interception for a touchdown. Texas compiled a 35-11-1 (24-7 SWC) record in his four years at Texas. An eighth-round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins in 1979, Blackwood turned out to be a draft day steal as he blossomed into a star defensive back in the NFL. He played nickel back his rookie year and became a career starter for the Dolphins from then on, starting 106 of his 118 NFL games at strong safety. He helped the Dolphins win six division titles (1979, 1981-85) and played in two Super Bowls (SB XVII and XIX) during his 10-year career (1979-88). He retired in 1989 with 29 career interceptions and 13 fumble recoveries. In 1980, he led the NFL with four fumble recoveries, and 12 of his interceptions came during the peak of his career in 1984 and 1985. In 1981, Blackwood's brother, Lyle, joined the Dolphins, and the two became known as the "Bruise Brothers." Lyle and Glenn played alongside each other at free and strong safety for four seasons. A key part of the Dolphins defense that was first tabbed the "Killer B's" in the strike-shortened season of 1982, Blackwood was named to the Dolphins' 50 best players in their first 50 seasons in 2015. He was a Dolphins nominee for the NFL Man of the Year and for the Ed Block Award for inspiration, sportsmanship and courage. He currently resides with his wife, Beth, in Palm Beach, Fla., where he provides consulting services to banks and financial institutions. He also spent time coaching his son, Jake, from 2000-06 at The Kings Academy in West Palm Beach, Fla. Jake went on to play safety at Georgia Tech, earning three letters (2006-08) for the Ramblin' Wreck.

 

Yeah as posted earlier, Glen was awesome 🤘

I can’t imagine paying for our seats, that we had for the Texas vs Bama Cotton Bowl, for a current day Texas vs OU sucks!

Hook’em!!!

Had classes w/William Graham at UT- quiet good guy! 🤘

William Graham played defensive back for the Texas Longhorns from 1979 to 1981. In 11 games in 1980, he recorded four interceptions. In 11 games in 1981, he recorded seven more, tying the school record, leading the Southwest Conference and tied for third in the nation. His 11 career interceptions were fourth all-time at Texas.

He played for the Detroit Lions for six years.

William Graham. His INT at the 1 yard line saved the 1982 Cotton Bowl win vs Bama. 

Come Sept 2 at 2:30….the temp better be substantially cooler, or I’ll be staying home….I’ve sat thru some hot games in the past, but Sept 2’s temp could be easily over 100…CDC needs to get this moved to a later KO.   Screw TV.

I echo that sentiment. According to my Dad, the ‘63 Team will be honored that week, for the 60th Anniversary. Most of them are now 80+, so I’d assume that they’d appreciate a cooler environment too.

Hook’em!!!

I'll ask my family if they've bought their tickets yet. Do you have tickets to the Rice game? If so and you're not going depending on where the seats are I might buy them off you. 

Another Bertelsen pic...  Nice Blocking  🤘

35 DAYS !!! 🤘

While Ricky's great performance vs aggy helped him break the record and win the Heisman, I don't consider it he's greatest game at Texas.  

Here's clip's of another great Ricky game:

Starts at 1:35 min mark :  (1997) Over 220yds vs blOU while wearing #11 Ricky leads Texas to 27-24 win

 

 

Also found this on that 1997 game

 

I was at that 1997 RRS game. That game was sloppy. Poor tackling and too many penalties by both teams. Just glad we were able to hang on and win, especially when Demond Parker had that long TD run that got OU within 3 points late in the 4th quarter. 

As a OU fan, I can’t think of anyone to wear burnt orange that I was more afraid of than Ricky Williams. He was one of the best backs I’ve ever seen. I always pulled for him once he got to the league.

Can’t disagree with you, but he’s a few years before my time. But I can’t argue 

34 DAYS... MORE RICKY 🤘
