For those here that don't know Gordon Wood's legendary Texas football coaching achievements, you can look it up.

We once scrimmaged Brownwood at Gordon Wood Field. Coach Wood became very displeased with one of his O-lineman and dispatched Morris Southall to correct the young man's technique. After the next play, apparently the boy's play had not improved because Coach Wood grabbed the player, pointed to the street and loudly told him to "get off of my field." Kid never hesitated. Removed his helmet and pads and walked away.
