If only you’d outlined why 92 was chosen as the ye…oh wait you did. Sorry, reading the full article is tough.

On my form I think it was different pretty sure I had Cedric benson instead of Quentin Jammer Also had Shipley . So many players. Also I didn’t start watching until 2000/2001

92 seems like a good year to start the so called modern era as it was the year Mackovic became the HC who unlike Akers and McWilliams had no ties to DKR

Not people, just you.

Guys you're supposed to use the link in the first post but some good lists either way. 

That was unexpectedly difficult given we had at least ten very dark years in the modern era of Texas football. This is what I settled on.

1. VY (no debate)

2. Ricky

3. Colt (insane accuracy)

4. Ced Benson (absolute workhorse)

5. DJ 

6. Casey Hampton (what a force on the DL)

7. Earl Thomas

8. Quentin Jammer

9. Orakpo

10. Michael Huff

There are easy choices then it gets much harder.  any lust without Casey Hampton in the top 10 is wrong. Dominated the game

No way you exclude bijan 

I was born in 97 so I stuck to guys I’ve actually seen play, to me it’s hard not to put Bijan in the top 3-5 of all time even though he didn’t win a natty.  Criminally underutilized his freshman season or else he’d have double the rushing yards he ended up finishing his career with. And it’s hard to think of any former Longhorn that will end up having the career he will have in the NFL.

Infantile/childish/silly/immature acting with poor judgement or without adult seriousness.

Bijan is definitely in the top 10. 💯 agree was under used as a frosh. Even in a covid season he should’ve been a 1000 yard back. Also, it’s criminal he wasn’t used in 22 well enough to be in the Heisman race. If we kept running the ball against okie st and Tech like we had been we win at least 2 more games and possibly have a chance to make the playoff.

Beginning the "modern" era with 1992 is completely ridiculous and I suspect that it just conveniently corresponds to when you began to follow UT football.  Don't be afraid of history.  Learn it instead. 

He explained why in the last paragraph if you cared enough to read it all. Stop being so self-righteous.

I believe the one and only time Bijan fumbled was in the OT game against tech where they kicked a field goal to win it.

I would love for ALL OTF members to participate in this.

We will be unveiling our Top 25 Horns of the modern era (1992-2025) in a couple of days, but I want to do a fan vote for the Top 10.

Please go to this link and record your responses. No registration required.... just be sure to submit your answers!

Please remember that this is ONLY since 1992. No answers before then will be counted.

The 1992 season marked the start of college football's modern era due to structural shifts in television revenue, the rise of super-conferences, inaugural championship games, and the first coordinated attempts to match the nation's top two teams in the postseason

DONE, Blake.  That was fun.  And very hard LOL.

I had some puerile condescension this morning, but, after my coffee, I went to the rest room, and now all is fine in the world🤣
