Send Beautiful Flowers J. Scott Wilson September 29, 1951 - October 31, 2025 Obituary for J. Scott Wilson J. Scott Wilson, 74 of Austin, died October 31, 2025 Scott was born on September 29, 1951, in the old St. David's Hospital at 17th and Rio Grande in Austin during a UT Football game against Purdue. He attended Gullett Elementary, Lamar Junior High, and McCallum High Schools, graduating from McCallum in 1969. As a senior, he was the Drum Major of the Marching Band. Scott graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in May of 1972 with a BBA in accounting. While at the University, he was a member of the Longhorn Band. In the Longhorn Band, he was a member of the Band Council and Kappa Kappa Psi, as well as a Flag Section Leader. He attended Baylor Law School in Waco, graduating with a JD in May 1975. While at Baylor, he served as an Associate Editor of the Law Review and as a member of Phi Delta Phi. He was licensed in Texas as both an attorney and a certified public accountant. He first served as a Briefing Attorney for Judge Connally McKay of the Twelfth Court of Civil Appeals in Tyler in 1976-77. From 1977 to 1985, he served as an Assistant Attorney General of Texas, working in the utilities, transportation, and Medicaid fraud areas under three attorneys general. While with the A.G., he appeared and argued in many appellate matters, including cases before the Texas Supreme Court and the U.S. Fifth and D.C. Circuit Courts. He was a Staff Attorney for the State Board of Insurance from 1985 to 87. He worked as Risk Management Attorney for Texas Association of School Boards from 1987 to 97. He was a trial attorney for the State Board of Public Accountancy in 1998-99. Since December 1999, he had been in-house Counsel for the TML Multistate Intergovernmental Employee Benefits pool, from which he retired on December 31, 2016. Scott's love affair with UT athletics began at age 7 when his father took him to see Texas and SMU play football. Continuing to go to games through his younger years and through college, he began a remarkable odyssey through Longhorn history, attending every football game, home and away, from October 22, 1977, forward, for 595 games in a row. Football was his first love in UT sports. However, UT Baseball would become his last love. He first attended one of these games in 1969 versus Notre Dame at old Clark Field. ln 1975, he began sitting with the Wild Bunch at Disch-Falk Field. In the late eighties, he became the unofficial cheerleader, running up stairs and leading clapping. He also led the fans and players in the Eyes of Texas at the road games, win or lose, start and finish of every ball game. From 1981 forward, Scott missed only three UT Baseball games, home and away. He had attended the last 1564 consecutive UT Baseball games, home and away, starting in April of 2000. He went to 40 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, 20 of which Texas was a participant. Scott also attended all other UT sporting events, holding season tickets in up to seven sports at a time. He attended many road events in other sports, going to four Softball World Series, eight NCAA Volleyball Final Fours. several NICAA Golf national Championships, and a Women's Basketball Final Four. He was present when UT won nine national championships in four different sports. He witnessed UT athletes playing in 40 different states and on two continents. Combined with other travels, he visited all 50 states and all 254 Texas counties.

  2. Temo Becerra the Stanford transfer has been playing third base with Rodriguez at short at present.
  3. Who is Steve?
  4. I know this is primarily a football podcast, but they interview Schloss starting at the 45 minute mark. The biggest thing I got from that interview is that coach thinks that Rodriguez is becoming a good defensive shortstop. If he could be that kind of defensive player and his hitting returns to form and he can stay healthy, this would be a very positive development for the team this coming season.
  5. Austin Memorial Park is where Scott's family is buried, so I would think that is the reason and St. John's United Methodist Church is their church. Scott and Jon Bible as well were Assistant Attorney Generals, so they might have met requirements for being buried at the State Cemetery.
  6. Yeah, we were never going to win this one. This might as well been called the Dick Vitale and Duke classic. They are just better, but Texas has some guys that will get better as the season goes on. I had hoped we could be more up tempo and get some easy buckets in transition, but that didn't happen really. Defense would overplay and leave shooters wide open did remind me of last year as well as the high number of fouls. I think Duke was already shooting the one plus one by the 15 minute mark of the second half. This team needed some time to get it together, but got Duke as an opener. Now they get four games at home against stiffs before heading off to Hawaii. Should be able to work on things during the home stand.
  7. It will help if Vokietaitis or Traore or hopefully both could actually play tomorrow. Maybe Jordan Poole can give us a spark on offense
  8. I think you're talking about Bill Goodwin, they are still doing good last I heard. They were good friends with Jose who lived in Dallas also. Bill is quite a character; we always had a good time at Jose's OU party. I often stayed at Jose's house on Friday and Saturday on OU weekend.
  9. There are many who are now gone including John Derdin and Jim Ryan, who was the owner of that model plane we flew against OU, at Aggy, at a Regional and we even pulled it off in Omaha before our game in the College World Series.
  10. I have been told that Robert Falcon, the son the late Sonny Falcon, the Fajita King will take their hearse and go to Florida to pick up Scott and bring him home. He is a funeral director and will head up the service wherever and when they are held.
  11. I was on that trip with Hunnert, Wilson, and a couple of other people. We were coming home from Omaha, where Texas had just won the national championship. The better line that Hunnert had for that woman was when she came up to him and told him that he had ruined her car. Hunnert was pumping gas and after the usual pause he came out with one of his one word classic answers. He just looked at her and said, "sorry."
  12. I have wondered about this. I don't know if it could be done while he is still alive or not. I know it's a stretch, but it would be a great help to the family if Scott could be brought back to Austin by plane. It certainly wouldn't knock a hole in the athletic budget if UT sent him and his sister back to Austin by a private jet. It would cost quite a bit to have the body sent back to Austin by a hearse
  13. Sis has just posted this update a few minutes ago and sadly this is true. 10/28 Sis here Scott Wilson has been moved to hospice within the UF Health hospital. He has been spiraling down over the last 2 weeks. His condition is such that he would never get out to see another game. I prefer each and every one of you to remember him in his heathy state, at a game or in the stands, or at a tailgate with a beer in his hands. Our immediate family is gathering and we ask for peace and privacy.
