in Texas Longhorns Football
Email
PrintOffseason 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
Texas Tri-Delt Farrah Fawcett
Who's on your all-time team?

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.
Nice topic...
First, My nominations for No Draft List: Major and Roger Clemens
Football: David Thomas, Quan Cosby, and Brian Robison
(FYI I chose Cosby because he fights for every damn yard every time he gets the ball, he’s been a highlight for me the last two years).
Basketball: James Thomas, DJ Augustin, and Connor Atchley
Baseball: Huston Street, Omar Quintanilla, Drew Stubbs
Other: Cat Osterman, Alyson Jennings, and all Pom Girls
Non Athlete: Lady Bird, Joe Jamail, Wes Anderson

I know! I thought Boddicker was an automatic
It's a Horns' world. Even Aggies play hoops with a burnt orange ball.
Is it football season YET?
PB already drafted him!
I was so disappointed.

Careful Rip maybe be cool but he's part Aggie too!

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
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.
--Horn Brain--
I appreciate the link
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.

Haha. Loved that post. I remember thinking that you honestly revered The Bod

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.

oh, NICE!!!

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)
WBB: someone said Clarissa Davis, right? Stacy Stephens?
Other: Didn’t Richard Linklater go to UT?
I'll second those
and raise you:
FB: Cotton Speyrer, Happy Feller, Freddie Steinmark
BB: LaSalle Thompson, Carlton Cooper, Jim Krivacs
Other: Kinky Friedman
Ok, we’ve got Baxter, Krivacs, and Moore—so how about some love for Tyrone Branyan?
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
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?
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
A great longhorn!
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.
