All-Time Texas Team: Who You Got?

Offseason news may be in short supply, but nostalgic daydreaming needn't be, which is why today I'm inviting you to join me in drafting your all-time favorite Longhorns team. The rules are simple: three players from each of Texas' main sports, plus two athletes from other sports, and two non-sport alumni.

One catch: I'm putting together a short No Draft List, all of whom are exempt from drafting. It's not exhaustive, but will help cut down on too much repetition.

No Draft List

  • Vince Young
  • Ricky Williams
  • Earl Campbell
  • TJ Ford
  • Kevin Durant
  • DJ Augustin

PB's Team

Football: Casey Hampton, Lamarr Houston, Derrick Johnson

Basketball: Brian Boddicker, Travis Mays, Gabe Muonecke

Baseball: Calvin Murray, Brooks Kieschnick, Huston Street

Other: Cat Osterman, Justin Leonard

Non-sport alumni: Farrah Fawcett, Walter Cronkite

Major wasn't off limits and you passed?

I’d take Major, DD Lewis and Mr. Jammer. Three of my favorite UT football stars to ever watch. I hate to admit that I’m not as familiar with other UT sports as I should be, but it is what it is. There are my football guys.

Do you know another way to watch?

That’s blocked at my computer at work, and gametracker from CSTV isn’t working.

That's the only thread

I know of.

Here’s the audio if you want.

12-0 good guys middle of the 5th.

Run rule is in effect!

I know! I thought Boddicker was an automatic

Tom Hicks

Not that a non-Longhorn’s opinion counts, but Tom Hicks is a strong candidate for his sterling work in wrecking Liverpool Football Club. Unless that’s not deliberate, of course.

Horn Brain's all-man-crush team.

Football: Sergio Kindle, Aaron Ross (Who remains the Boss), Major Applewhite
Basketball: The Bod, DamJam, Dexatrim
Baseball: Chance Ruffin, Kyle Russell, James Street (I cheated)
Other: Cat’s too easy, should be on the no draft list. I’ll take Ben Crenshaw and Sanya Richards. I figure this is cheating, because I’m going to breed more players for my team between Sanya and Aaron.
Non sport – (I said man crush, what’s between Sanya and me is purely platonic. That’s the boss’s girl.) It’d be a shame not to mention the guy that built my computer, Michael Dell, and give me a Joe Jamail after that video PB gave us a few days ago.

I’m too young for this. Give me 30 years and these will seem like the picks of a grizzled veteran ‘Horns fan.

But I don’t want to be mistaken for the Man, the Myth, the Legend Himself. For to do such, would be nothing short of blasphemery.

Whoa you're throwing out the JDG!

I thought it was only my brothers and I who “loved” the JDG. My favorite was his topps card. I can’t find a pic. But here’s a Mariner one.

All the great names are taken

But I’ll add a few from history:

FB: Steve Wooster, Randy McEachern (third-string QB who came in to win the OU and take UT all the way to a near-national championship back in the 70s)
MBB: Ron Baxter (the Dexter Pittman of the 70s)

Ok, we’ve got Baxter, Krivacs, and Moore—so how about some love for Tyrone Branyan?

most definitely!

and while we’re in that era, we can’t leave out “proof that White Men Can’t Jump” Mike Wacker and Jordan and Johnny Danks’ daddy (and my frat bro) John Danks Sr. (that boy’s got some DNA along the lines of James Street!)

And might as well throw in Krivacs’ teammates – Houston Rocket Gary Goodner for good measure.

Who did I forget?

Oh, and PB, aren’t you a bit young to have been looking at Farah Fawcett? Or did you just do that for “our” benefit?

by horndude on May 24, 2008 11:28 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

OMG

I just read that Goodner died of a heart attack 4 months ago. I hadn’t heard that.

Make sure and read the comments

against the tT sand aggies one year

at DKR, i saw aaron humphrey hit sand aggy qb so hard that his children were born with two black eyes. they take him off the field. next play he knocks that guy out as well. i think that was kingsbury’s 1st game maybe. anyway, humphreys, major, and i always liked watching bryant westbrook he was not a afraid to hit people.

basketball i got nothing. when i moved here, penders was runnin out the door and ricky ruled, so i gots nothing.

baseball- huston street.
volleyball- jenn christian
swimming- courtney brown

hangover ending must find makers bottle…...
