That hit today would have him ejected. It was a deliberate helmet-to-helmet hit. I wouldn't be bragging about a hit to a kicker. That's like bragging about being a much stronger man and knocking

I'll always remember him for being the holder on the final extra point in 1969 against the pigs.  He snagged a bad snap that let Happy Feller kick the winning point.  Dude looks older than DKR in that picture.

You are absolutely correct about that snap.

Incredible job by him that goes pretty much unnoticed.

Saint Darrell showed more moxie in that '69 pig-fucking than most coaches show in their entire careers. The decision to go for two on the first TD won the game. He said he figured we could make two on either score, and making it the first time meant a kick for an almost certain win, while not making it first meant two for a tie on the second one. Making the first one put a load on the pigs, one which they were unable to carry.

 

Typo - '69 not '59

The first down machine and real mvp of the 2006 rose bowl.
Fight me.
#16 David Thomas.

His performance in the Rose Bowl was clutch. Crucial 1st down catches one after another. 

Best TE in Longhorn history. Of course, Fitzgerald & Finley were pretty good too.

All-Time DBU Rankings 

By ROD BABERS Feb 27, 2014
My column this week was going to be about the history of DBU, but I got bored writing it so I figured you'd be even more bored reading it. I'll rewrite it and present it to you later, but now just wasn't the time.

179766.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=240:320,offset-y0.50&width=240&height=320 Jerry Gray checks in at the top of a 54-player ranking of the all-time greats at DBU.

Instead here's my ranking of the all-time greats in DBU history. It started with a Mount Rushmore and morphed into this insanity. I didn't mean to disrespect anyone by leaving them off, but the list had to end somewhere or it would have been like The Never Ending Story (I love that movie by the way), so I ended it at 54.

This list was comprised with an emphasis on all-conference selections, All-American selections and the player's impact based on stats. I, of course, made the last call. Prior to 1951 it was tough to find players specifically tagged as defensive backs, so if I missed anyone prior to that period there was no disrespect intended.

If there was a player whom was left off the list it was only because they were not listed on any all-conference teams, All-American teams, or on any relevant stats. This list is strictly about accomplishments on the 40 Acres.

So, without further adieu, here's my list. Go ahead Longhorn fans, feel free to rip it to shreds.

1. Jerry Gray
One of the patriarchs of DBU and had the legendary Jheri curl.

2. Michael Huff
Consensus All-American, Thorpe Award winner and a national champion.

3. Johnnie Johnson

There's nothing to get over. You keep fucking up one of the best and easiest threads to participate in. 

3rd time's the charm?
