We have been quiet for a while on this blog. And I have not heard a thunderous complaint, so I’ve assumed it is fine with everyone who already has way too much to read. But make space in your web site consumption schedule because we are about to ramp up the 4 Dudes Gameday series again. And this year we will go beyond Longhorn football while, of course, remaining true to our core focus. Talk to you soon!
Johnny Mann has been leading singing groups since the 1960s, has won two Grammys, and his sound became the standard in radio call letter jingles. His album, Alma Mater, has been a favorite of mine since childhood when I would listen to it play on my great-grandfather’s stereo. Mann’s rendition of the The Eyes Of Texas is still one of the most moving I’ve ever heard. Seems apropos to share it today. Hook ‘em Horns!!
The Dudes talk about the game, then we go in the yard to illustrate how the Texas O line broke down against Nebraska, and finish with an illustration of how we think they’ll do against Alabama. The action is ferocious, so please use discretion with your younger viewers or anyone on life support.
