Two questions

Is  4.27 in forty world class speed?

Which is best number of wins or a conference ship?

Both relate to Horns.

1. Based on what I've read, Usain Bolt's 40 would equate to roughly a 4.2 forty time and a rough equivalent to most world class sprinters is a 4.3 forty. The big difference I would think is the sustained speed of WC sprinters. 

2. IMO, the ship has more value. Especially in a conference other than the sec. A 2018 ship would likely have changed the entire narrative of the team, staff, and program for the better. Of course, we may still have some of the same staff as then so there are good and bad parts.lol

Just one man's opinion.

Agree 100% with both answers.

Was just wondering if fans would be happy with a 10 win season like Mack or want  champlon ships like DKR.Been a long time since Horns won a ship.

If 4.27 is world class speed then three WC runners was born with a three mile radius of my house.

Two went to TCU and one to Texas.

Phillip Epps says hi

 

[Eastexhorn]

My faulty memorydraws a blank on P Epps..

My faulty memorydraws a blank on P Epps..

He was an Atlanta Rabbit back in 77. He was a speedster, ran a 4.3. Later played for the Packers.

I think Billy Simms from Hooks also had that kind of speed.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Remember Epps now and Simms was second fastest back in his districk.behind a DeKalb back.

Then they wasnot born close to my house.

I remember the big showdown in '77, Daingerfield vs Atlanta. RBs Phillip Epps vs Paul Rogers. Both were lightning fast and were track rivals, too. Atlanta won the game, 6-3.

Chris something was the name of the TB out of Dekalb. I actually played against him. He was indeed fast but we kept him contained. Terrance Ganaway was also from DeKalb.

Mosler was his name spelling might be wrong.A friend son played DE for New Boston his take put a hand on C Mosler and he would go down. Put a hand on Simms and he would run over you.
