Game 10: Texas 36, Oklahoma State 10
This was a good day. The weather was just right minus some misting. Good conversation with friends. And we won. Luckily we played well from the beginning with only a few scary parts.
This game Texas honored our Veterans. They made a little bit about Frank Denius. He has contributed his time and money to the University of Texas, but before that, he contributed much to our country. You can read more about him here.
In my search for more information about Frank, I found some interesting links:
About new construction at Memorial Stadium is here.
Not only has the 1949 Texas graduate attended every Longhorns game this year, he's been to all but three practices and is the only person not affiliated with the school allowed to do so. Of course, there might be some pressure to appear when the practice facility is named "Frank Denius Field" -- an honor for his unshakable devotion.
Turns out he's been showing up for decades and still gets Christmas cards from members of the '63 and '69 national championship teams.
Not that he's bragging, but Denius -- whose white SUV is tattooed with a burnt-orange stripe and whose house features a life-size Bevo (Texas' steer mascot) engraved into a window -- also received an honorary letter from Royal that hangs in his law office."
