I remember Egypt mostly because as a little guy, he got whupped with the ugly stick and then went through the line again. Bless his heart, but he was one ugly dude.

big offensive lineman (~6' 8" , 280 back in the mid 80's) from minnesota who i believe was wacker's nephew. another parade high school aa and i think part of that class with jiles, delaney, davis, newton, sullivan, and the big d-tackle from eastern hills.
i believe rob had back problems and never played that i recall.

I thought Tim Schade was Wacker's nephew.

you most likely are right and it certainly would not be the first nor last time i am or will be wrong.
know for certain rob was from minnesota, uncertain on his connection to wacker, and fairly sure on the back so i guess that puts me luke warm on the matter.

For those 70’s era Frogs (like me) you may recall former TCU Skiff writer & now big-shot at Texas Monthly Skip Hollingsworth wrote an excellent in-depth article in TM about Ronnie coming to TCU in our dreary, dark years & just got ate up by our old SWC foes defenses.

He showed flashes. Didn’t have a lot to work with as far as teams.

Wasn’t his nickname while here James Fattle?

I’ld politely disagree, 3 years Cowboys, almost no game time or yards.
Three years in the NFL is considered a huge bust? Really?

Huge bust no just seems to be continuation of mediocre college career followed abbreviated and almost equally disappointing pro 3-year career like he never lived up to high—school hype.

Rob was a DT from Rosemount MN
I'm pretty sure I remember Egypt Allen delivering a massive hit on an SMU punt returner who should have called fair catch and didn't at Texas Stadium. He just laid the guy out.

Egypt was big and a team player. Started one year at running back and the next at linebacker.

when did egypt start at linebacker ?
i found 60+ carries in 1983 but none in 1984, he was a db in 1982, and we know what happened in 85

I spit my drink on this one.
I could be misremembering here but I thought Egypt Allen was a more than an average player for us. Could be getting him mixed up with Falanda Newton?
More football-
Clint Renfro? Know he wasn't a 5 star kid but not sure he contributed at all.
Jeff Godley? Running back from Arlington who I think was pretty well regarded.
Basketball-
Princeton Parks? Maybe he was part of the Juan Bragg deal, but he didn't really ever contribute.

falanda was highly regarded out of od wyatt and had a good career at tcu. he had i believe 7-8 interceptions one season
egypt never played that i recall at defensive back after coming in as the top defensive back recruit in the country
in regards to basketball killer had a recruit out of ft worth dunbar who was a hs aa, 6'6", looked like a greek god, ran anchor on a very good dunbar 4x100 and lasted all of one semester at tcu due to academics
