To my fellow Horns fans:

Remember, If a circus comes to town, you don't have to talk to the clowns.

This thread is Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-recruiting). Let's see if we can get back to that topic.

With that, I became a Longhorn fan when my uncle introduce me to Tommy Nobis and Pete Lammons. Actually there were several others, but those two stood out to me. For a young kid those two guys were like Greek gods to me. LOL. In little league baseball and football I always wore #25 for Chris Gilbert. 

Hook 'Em!

Chris Gilbert was my favorite longhorn as a kid and I use to pretend I was him in the backyard. I use to keep track of his carries and yardage during the game. 

Position: Running Back
Years: 1966-1968
Place of Birth: Houston, TX
Date of Birth: Oct 16, 1946
Jersey Number: 25
Height: 5-11
Weight: 176
High School: Spring Branch, TX (Spring Branch HS)

Chris Gilbert ran for 3,231 yards in 29 games for Texas in 1966-68. He was the first player in NCAA history to record three 1,000-yard rushing seasons since the association began keeping statistics. He rushed for 1,080 as a sophomore, 1,019 as a junior, 1,132 as a senior. He was All-Southwest Conference three times and consensus All-America in 1968. His best games were for 245 yards against Baylor in 1966, 213 against Baylor in 1968, and 202 against Texas Christian in 1966. In that same Texas Christian game, Gilbert had a 96-yard run from scrimmage. In his career he returned 20 kickoffs, averaging 22.7 yards on each. For his career he averaged 5.4 yards per rushing attempt. He scored 28 touchdowns in 29 games. Gilbert stood 5-11 in height and weighed 176. He was drafted by the New York Jets but did not play in the NFL. He launched a successful business career in Houston as president of Gilbert Investment Co.

DT is pretty stacked. Can't blame him for wanting to play, somewhere.

Could this have a lot to do with Alfred Collins and his rise this year at DE?  

Come on S. Turner and make the move.

SEC adds Florida and @Tennessee to Aggy's  2020 schedule. Excuse me for the chuckle. lol

I can see them easily at 6-4 with losses @Bama, @Auburn, Florida and one of @MissSt, @Tenn or LSU.  Miss, Ark, Vandy and SC should be wins, but SC could be a tricky one on the road.

They could lose to Miss St and Tenn very easily. Pirate is going to be Saban's nightmare. He did wonders at Tech and WaSt with less talent. At Miss St, he's got a chance to make some noise with good talent.

I'm not sure what LSU is going to be, running out a new QB and all. They lost a lot from last year.

Arkansas completed the toughest schedule in college football by adding Georgia and Florida. Ouch.

Agree on SC. Muschamp always coaches a good game against aggy for some reason.

I doubt it. Collins hasn't had a chance to really do anything yet. He sure looks the part though.

One of those scouts said that Bijan will be a serviceable pass catcher. That one head catch shows he can be more.


Whoa! Tom Herman excited about the size, look of freshmen for Texas’ new defensive line
