Thanks for having Brad Shearer on Coffee and Football.  Enjoyed hearing his stories about the old days.  They were certainly different times.

Would love to see Rosey Leaks on the morning show.  Am convinced he would have won the Hesiman his senior year if not for the injury in spring practice.

He was a one-armed DL on a goal-line drill. Absolutely amazing. 

Great to listen to him this morning…A true tough guy & Longhorn legend…

Great stories, could listen to him for hours

I was at the $MU game at the Cotton Bowl Stadium when Roosevelt Leaks rushed for 342 yards from the Fullback position in the Wishbone. He and I graduated in the same class and I told him I enjoyed that performance against $MU. He said it was the only time he'd felt totally exhausted after a game. He was a great player and representative for the University of Texas.

Hook 'Em!

My dad went to Reagan and enjoyed the interview too. Evidently he met Brad a time or two and had some friends in common. Got this text after the interview. 
 

I remember him riding up to a party on a motorcycle and Tommy Walker saying, “ what’s that big guy picking on that motorcycle “. It was a Kawasaki 350, not a small bike.  Brad was a real friendly guy.
