OK Jim, you're my favorite UT poster now. I have nothing bad to say about General Neyland either. He was a great football coach and one hell of an American.
Fun fact about Neyland.
He was considered by many to be the second greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th Century. Behind only the legend that was Jim Thorpe.
Neyland was a star lineman in football at West Point.
Was a 20 game winner as a pitcher on the baseball team.
Was captain of the boxing team, and national collegiate boxing champion.

If Sam Houston and Davy Crockett had ever met a Longhorns fan - my bet is they would have stayed at home. And probably laid the points and put some action down on Santa Anna.
