We’re now officially 42 days away from the Horns taking on the Buckeyes in the season opener. 

Who is your favorite No. 42?

Options today include…

Bobby Dillon

 

Richard Peavy

 

Anthony Curl

 

I'm old enough to remember Anthony Curl playing linebacker for UT. If I remember correctly, he was a tackling machine!

Was not Bobby Dillon a top NFL pick at DB back in the 40s?  Did he play with Tom Landry?

He was drafted in 1952 by the Packers. Went into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020.

Caleb Bluiett wore No. 42 during his career (2012-16).

I don't have a favorite, all I know is football needs to get here and get here soon. I'm so starved for competition, I'm watching women's rugby. 

Anthony Curl was one of the more under-rated LBs in Texas history.

For those unaware, many believe this hit by Peavy led to the eventual downfall of Marcus Dupree.

Eating at Hutt’s Hamburgers with Caleb’s dad/family remains one of my favorite personal memories.

So he played with Bobby Layne.  Thank you, Jeff!

I’m old enough to remember Richard Peavy. Dude was a seek and destroy missle!

At least you aren’t watching cornhole on TV.
