Duke Carlisle ,Wow!!

My Dad took me to the Cotton Bowl...Navy vs Texas..63-64??

I maybe wrong,but i'm thinking Duke Carlise and the Longhorns beat
Roger Staubach and Navy for the national championship..

Did Duke Carlise go both ways?? I was thinking he was QB??

You're exactally right. '64 Cotton Bowl after the '63 season.
Carlisle was the QB and didn't normally play defense, but they put him in for that play against Baylor. Good choice.
The Longhorns put it on a really good Navy team.

olderelk,Way back in the 60's my church took a bus from Dallas to Waco
to see a Bear Game,,.i remember seeing those Green and Gold
uniforms,thinking ,wow those are great!

My first color tv i ever saw 65? maybe? my Dads brother bought a
zenith,,we went to watch the Orange Bowl on New Years Day..Alabama
vs Texas...Joe Namath QB for Bama,,,we watched with excitement the color,,,i remember watching the halftime show in color,,Boy,,what a different world we now live in

This is the way Tommy West described the play in that '74 DCTF special edition.
"There were only seconds to go,and the magicians were on the stage, and Trull threw for Elkins and for everything. And it seemed that Elkins had the ball in his arms in the end zone. But then the ball hovered, and froze, as if a still picture had mistakenly been inserted into
a movie. Then, abruptly, the action continued. And the ball fell into the outstretched arms. Only they belonged to a diving Texas man, Duke Carlisle. The movie was over. And so was another dream. Down on the sidelines, the green grass os Memorial Stadium was chilled and soggy to the knees. Somewhere the Texas touchdown cannon roared. It only carries blank charges. But for many a Baylor fan, it might have carried steel shot aimed at the soul..."
Kind of dramatic, don't you think. lol, but it was true. So sad....

markf, you're right. I was 12 when my cousin started to Baylor and I fell in love with the Bears, I grew up 60 miles west of Waco. I joined the Boy Scouts just so I could go see one game a year on Scout day. They hauled us to Waco in a school bus. I used to lay on the floor in our living room listening to the Bears on the radio.

Davey O'Brien Award. I might have a very few 1974 SWC Champ Dr. Pepper Bottles for sale on Sunday.

I lived in Waco for six years from 1987 to 1992 and the Bears had 5 winning seasons and played in two bowls. They just could not consistantly beat enough of the big dogs to be considered legit.

Sarcasm answered by truth! Waco was the "big city" to me. I loved going there, which didn't happen very often. Going to a bigger town was a trip to Hamilton, Gatesville, Goldthwaite or Lampasas. Waco was where it was at.
On another note. 2nd team Walter Camp, what a joke. Look me in the face and tell me Luck even comes close to Griffin.

Heck, I used to think a trip to Lometa was big time. We got run out of Lometa one time after a trip to the "picture show" in that fair city. It seems their constable took umbrage at our idea of fun. All we were doing was throwing firecrackers out the window........
Oh yeah, Bill Glass.............

Some people just don't want anyone having any fun. We had to leave town to go to a picture show too. Evant's closed down when most of the folks around there finally got television sets and quit going to the movies. I even went to Hamilton to get my hair cut because our barbers couldn't cut a flat top.
Ronnie Bull.

Hayden Fry, Jim Ray Smith, Larry Isbell

Cotton Davidson, and we got a whole bunch we can be proud of this year.

I had about halfway forgotten about Hayden Fry being a QB at Baylor. He never coached there did he?
I remember a routine Jerry Clower had about playing football against Baylor when he was at Mississippi State. I think he mentioned Bill Glass in the routine.............

What about Ronnie Bull and Gary Sutton (Ozona, Texas)?
