I feel like James Brown gets overlooked in these discussions, especially in the “big picture” context.
Last SWC and first Big XII Championships. Reminded us we could actually beat OU and A&M on multiple occasions ….brought a swagger that still resonates today as evidenced by the weekly “maybe we’ll beat them by xx points” posts on each betting line thread started every week.
Fact of the matter is that in the early 90’s Texas was very much the “uncool school” for DISD, HISD and Deep East Texas talent, which was either flooding out of state, or to A&M and OU. And yes, at that time, a Black starting QB at Texas was a big deal.
James Brown committed to Texas despite being one year behind the Annointed Savior Shea Morenz, seized the opportunity when it was presented, and never looked back. He made it cool to go to UT.
And he was a bad motherfucker. It was a different era offensively, but he posted numbers that stood up until Colt, Vince and even David Ash took down. He took down OU after 4 or more straight losses as a RS Freshman backup. He lead us to a win for the first time in forever at Kyle Field while playing on a sprained ankle.
The discussion of greatest post-DKR era UT quarterbacks absolutely must include James Brown.Peter Gardere deserves a spot on the list too. Delivering when it matters most.

Hey who the fuck are you
Old poster on ShaggyBevo under this handle. Been lurking on Surly a while but never signed up. Guess now that we’re finally in the playoff, I’ve been swept up in the excitement. Now that I’m registered, how do I get access to all the porn material?

You dont think that was on Sarks mind when he had Ewers go right back out there or said Ewers Xrays came back negative... just in case to help avoid that injury perception, especially after losing Brooks...
This absolutely right here. He was quick to get Ewers back in and completely dismissive of Worthy’s injury. Sark playing 3D chess with the committee and not giving them any excuses.

In his last two games, Ollie Gordon has proven that Jonathan Brooks is the best RB in the nation.
