I said what the heck and decided to pick up heir tab. As they were leaving, Mr Little came to our table and thanked me. He could not have been more gracious. He talked to us for a good 5-10 minutes, but I could have listened to him all day. Pure class. Wonderful representative of the University and just a good, solid human being. RIP Mr Little.

TB14 Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Bill Little is such a legend. The story telling of Texas athletics would be nothing without him. Bianco does an amazing job after him but there is only one Bill Little. Baron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirhornsalot Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 From today's TFB practice report. I was pleasantly surprised to see this. Been hearing his name a lot in the past several days. "*** The first name that was mentioned to me about having a good day was DL Jaray Bledsoe. Surprising to me. Bledsoe rotated in with the first unit, though spent most of his time with the 2’s and 3’s. Source told me Bledsoe couldn’t be blocked this afternoon and seemingly each time they looked up, Bledsoe was making a play in the backfield."

Hiwood Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 I got to meet Mr Little when I was still a pre teen, my family friend Cactus Pryor, whose brother Paul was the stadium announcer introduced me...One of my hobbies as a kid was to know where each Longhorn player came from and even to this day every time I go through some of the small TX towns I think of which football legend came from that town. Mr Little put me to the test and took out the press guide to see how many players I knew and their numbers...he was a very very nice man Sirhornsalot, Baron, Bear19 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirhornsalot Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Overshown was having a good game, but just left the field on a cart. Cowboys said it was a knee injury but the seriousness was not certain.

Sounds like he has the consistency now to go with his flashes of brilliance. He will play inside in 4 down fronts and on the edge in 3 man looks. Overall the D-line is shaping up nicely. Not the highest of high end talent but a lot of depth that can come at OL in waves. Interior guys will likely be Collins and Byron Murphy with T'vondre Sweat as the 3rd option. Backed up by guys like Trill Carter, Sydir Mitchell (who will be an unmovable object occupying 2 OL for about 3 snaps at a time) and Aaron Bryant as NT type and Broughton and Bledsoe as DT types. At end it'll be Barryn Sorrel and Ethan Burke with Justice Finkley as the 3rd guy who can play both spots. Kris Ross, J'mond Tapp and Colton Vasek will work in as subs as will some of the DT guys that can also bounce out to edge in 3 man looks. Billy Walton and Akana are also seen as guys who could develop into situational types over the season.
