[QUOTE="Carl Knox 3.0, post: 3117554, member: 74407"] Carl Knox III commenting here again, Leap Frog, regarding that 1946 game with #6 Texas: Longhorn Coach Dana Bible had previously turned Dad down for a spot on the Texas team, commenting Dad was so small he didn’t think Texas had a uniform that would fit. (Dad was 5’10” and only 140 lbs. at the time.) But after the game, Dad reported Coach Bible pulled him aside and said something like, “Well, Carl, I guess I made a mistake – good game”. Dad didn’t often tell that story, but you could tell he loved it when he did. Dad may have been small, but he was really larger than life – a real fun “Texas character”. I had an interesting childhood to say the least and, of course, it will always be a privilege to be his son. Thanks for your interest and all the well-wishes from everyone on this thread! [/QUOTE]
