VY will have his jersey retired at the Florida Atlantic game

Posted by HenryJames on August 14th, 2008 under Football

When the north temple end zone was built, it was only a matter of time before He returned.

“I’m really looking forward to getting back to Austin again, seeing everyone, reaching out to the community with my foundation event and cheering on my team,” Young said. “I was speechless when they told me about the jersey retirement earlier this summer and I still don’t think it’s sunk in. It’s such a great honor to be remembered in such a special way. Man, when I see that number and my name on the stadium … I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s just going to be such an unbelievable feeling for me and my family.”

You’re going down, Howard.

  1. It’s the one week where Vince could make a home game, so it makes sense.

    I hope they save Tommy Nobis for A&M. But since Arkansas was the major rival during his playing days they might pick that one.

    He had a famous quote about the Hogs in the SI preview issue before 1965. Texas had lost the National Championship in 1964 with the loss to the Hogs.

    When asked by SI if the 1964 loss still bothered him Nobis responded,

    “I Think about Arkansas every day.”

    I like the Arkansas idea for Nobis. Hopefully it will have the added benefit of helping Mack to focus on this one; maybe Tommy can help Mack better understand the history (read ‘hatred for those bottle-throwing, cousin-kissing, jort-wearing hillbillies’) between Texas and the pigs.

    Sorry for the hiatus. It started with disgust as I watched us mail in the conference finale in Boulder.  I didn’t have anything to say about that game.  Then work got in the way and I missed the redemption game in the first round of the conference tournament.  The Kansas game, too.  I’m a rotten fan.

    But

    Perhaps as soon as next year. The NCAA has an “opt out” clause in its $6 Billion contract with CBS this summer and they have already asked for a Request For Proposal from any and all networks interested.

    The current contract with CBS is backloaded — the network owes the NCAA $2.3 Billion over the next

    BigDuke,

    You, as usual, are correct about the ACT score. However, that he decided to continue with his commitment to USC this late in the process and this close to an anticipated NCAA ruling is probably the bigger story. He had an out and still decided on USC. Just wondering aloud

    Perhaps it’s all a coincidence, but Seantrel just got his ACT score this past week. Without a test score, a recruit is ineligible to sign with any school. I’m wondering how much of this was just a smokescreen on Henderson’s part.

    I don’t buy that we HAVE to win this conference or the conference tourney unless KU is in an awful down year. That would be like someone other than OU or Texas saying that their football season was a failure because they didn’t win the Big 12 title. The owners of the Big
