Semi OT- Texas' very classy gesture to Wyoming

Submitted by dlanny22 on

I didn't see this posted anywhere else(7 Pages back is all I went).  Some of you may or may not have heard, but Wyoming lost a freshman linebacker to a car accident.  The following link spells out what will happen when Texas and Wyoming play each other.

Edit: it would help to actually add the link.

For a second there I was worried you were being sarcastic when I read your thread title.  Glad it's not the case.  

I'm a UT grad student and that will be my first game down here, but I hadn't heard anything about it yet.  Thanks for the info!

Anyone who was at the 2005 Rose Bowl knows that Texas has amazing, classy fans and a great program.  They are probably my favorite other big time team.

Mack Brown and the Texas program is full of class and honor.  Great gesture here by the Longhorns and a sad day for the Wyoming kids.  Losing a teammate is a terrible experience that will take these players a while to recover from.  RIP to the young linebacker that had a lot of potential and a full life ahead of him.  A tragedy indeed.
