Saw this picture for the first time yesterday. Dad, who is bottom right (66), didn’t want it out of the frame because it was newspaper stuck to glass, so I have two with excuses sent for the bad glare/picture.

Picture from the Beaumont Enterprise - Fall of 1960, of players from SE Texas and SW Louisiana playing for the Longhorns, as new Freshmen.

Missed it by a couple of days (I was on vacation w/ family), but here is my Dad. After four years of never playing an offense/defense snap during a game, in order to “letter,” until the winding minutes of the game vs Navy.

He played on ST, but it took an offensive/defensive snap to “letter” back then, so what a thrill it was for him when Coach Royal sent him in during the last couple of minutes versus Navy.

all-SWC '67 & '68 lineman (played G, C, & DT)

In 1968 won SWC DPOY & had 18 tackles in Tex-OU game

That is a great photo from the the 1969 (68 season) Cotton Bowl.

I remember Tennessee had to get special jerseys for that game because they only wore orange jerseys home and away and did not have white.
