Took way too long to have a proper thread for him on OG Shaggy. Let's not repeat that mistake.

That’s a fucking man.  Who are the 2 ahead of him?  Brown and ?

‘Lectric Leland, of course. 

1. Jim Brown

2. John Riggins

3. Earl Campbell

What a load of shit.  Earl dealt more punishment as a running back than most linebackers.

Those hits on Tatum and the Broncos guy ... just fucking brutal.

Yeah, Riggins ahead of Earl is complete nonsense.

How many MVPs did Riggins win?

Obligatory “fuck Bud Adams for moving the Oilers”

Earl is the reason I was a longhorn fan as a kid

Love the goal line hit against Tatum.  I was lucky to be at that game.

I remember going to (I think) the first home game of Earl's freshman year.  He didn't start, but they put him in.  Recruiting wasn't followed back then like it is now (or at least I didn't follow it).

I asked one of the guys in our group if they knew anything about him.  Answered with kind of a shrug, "I've heard he supposed to be good."

Biggest understatement of all eternity.

This is fucking bad ass. Much like Earl.  Before my time but the old man would light up when talking about him. Kinda like me telling my girls about Vince. 

Earl

Colt

Major

 

I remember watching the Horns/Aggie game on NTV his Sr. season, followed him a bit when with the Oilers and cheered him on when not playing Dallas.  Enjoy his sausage.

Yeah we moved here from Tennessee in '77. I was in 6th grade. Watching Earl wreck mfers that season turned my blood burnt orange for life.

Favorite Longhorn. Met him once. 

Later I was waiting tables at Jazz on 6th. Earl's sausage company office was upstairs. Earl would come in after our lunch rush and sit at the bar to eat lunch. Nobody in the place but Earl & all of us who worked there. He would chat us up all the time & was easily the most laid-back, chill pro athlete I've ever met & as nice a guy as you could ever hope to meet.

Happy birthday to one of the best to ever play the game.

Walter Payton is a grown ass man, and Earl just dwarfs him.

Favorite Longhorn -- nope, favorite football player, period -- of all time.

My favorite Longhorn ever

You misspelt ‘football player.’

I'll never forget my favorite Horn Ricky Williams changing his number to pay tribute to a legend en route to a Heisman season.

Said this before, but the pantheon at Texas is Earl and Tommy, and this is at a place that has had absolute "gods" play. But any discussion has to begin with these two. Now, if you want to continue then you better start with a guy named Bobby . . .

Luckily for Earl Mack told him he's still welcome on the 40.

It cannot be said enough God bless Earl Campbell, the man the myth the legend

Campbell/Young

Nobis

Williams

McCoy/Street
