RIP Tommy Nobis

[Tomhermansboy]

I started watching UT football at the end of the 1963 NC season when Nobis was a sophomore. I got to watch Tommy my first three seasons as a longhorn fan and I've never seen a better defensive player at UT since.

Well said. Also, absolutely correct. He also played guard. A two way player on the '63 natty team as a sophomore. JB was also correct about #60 being worn by DJ. Britt was also deserving along with BJ (Brian Jones). Outside of tham.......glad it is retired!!!

Great article. It's a shame that so many former NFL players are having health problems.


Tommy Nobis, the first Falcon, was also champion for the disabled

I just heard this today when I got back. Awful and sad news.  There will never be another Mr. Nobis. Rest in peace .
