October 8, 20214 yr the most hilarious part of watching those videos is why you would ever have someone go after the QB. just send 2 guys at Earl and make the QB keep it. maybe it was tried and didn't matter anyway. the most amazing thing is Earl's strides and how fast he gets to top speed. It's crazy to see a guy that big hit top end that fast.

Guy was a beast on the field, and nicest person you'd ever want to meet off of it. Also, Walter Payton gone. Houston Oilers gone. Damn, those old Oiler whites were great.
January 18, 20223 yr Know why Earl only ran for 6.5 yards agsinst every play? Because he could. Edited January 18, 20223 yr by TOR
January 18, 20223 yr Popular Post I met Earl at a book signing at Rooster Andrews a long ass time ago. They were giving out free EC Sausages and tea while the public waited in line to meet the man. I got him to sign the brim of my 90s era paint splash Longhorn cap and a copy of his autobiography for my Dad ("Peace and Love, Earl"). I remember so clearly how HUGE his hands were. He shook my hand but he could have easily just shaken my entire forearm. If there is a bigger Texas legend (not just UT, but State of Texas), then I haven't met him. The badassedist of all BAMFs.

January 18, 20223 yr I had a class with Earl. Big class. He was there everyday but wouldn't ask questions. He sat beside the great linebacker Lionel (pronounced like the toy train) Johnson. Earl would lean over and whisper to Lionen, then Lionel would raise his hand and ask the question. Earl preferred being quiet when there were a lot of people around. On campus, he'd happily talk to anyone. Everytime I saw him, Earl looked so happy with life. Great son of Texas.
January 18, 20223 yr Stumbled on to this, never knew about his alcohol struggles. Lots of good stuff -- hope folks enjoy this. Hook 'em Earl !!! 🤘

March 5, 20223 yr Know why Earl picks you up and takes you into the end zone? Because you were in the way.

Anytime I watch old game film, I'm struck by how enthusiastic the officials seem to be about every signal. They're way too reluctant to give the wrong call now.
