So watching T.V on Monday night, I received a phone call from Dr. Jesse DeLee, an Orthopedic surgeon in San Antonio, Texas.
He said Ragan Gennusa sent me your article on the genealogy of Longhorn quarterbacks, and I think I can help you with some of the quarterback names you are missing before the DKR years. AND HE DID!!! Horns up to Dr. DeLee’s passion for Longhorn sports history. All of his additions have been added to the link at
I now need to find photos to associate with the names.

AND A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT
The Red River Rivalry
|
I am sure that DeLee will probably call me on this one also.
Researching the history of the Texas-O.U. rivalry was easier than the history of Longhorn quarterbacks, but still, there were challenges. The site still needs some work, but it is good enough to publish.
If you want to share Input about the Texas-OU history, please email Billy Dale at Williamdale@msn.com.
Below is a Red River rivalry story that will bring a smile to your face.

1947 • NO. 3 TEXAS 34, NO. 15 OKLAHOMA 14
This is Bud Wilkinson’s first game against Texas.
Darrell Royal intercepts a Bobby Lane pass, but there was a penalty flag on the play, and the interception was negated.
Known as the “Sisco Game” by O.U. fans in honor (or dishonor) of referee Jack Sisco, The game turned on a disputed play as time expired in the first half with the score tied at 7-7.
Texas quarterback Bobby Layne’s handoff to halfback Jimmy Canady bounced to Layne, who pitched it to Randall Clay, who ran for a touchdown. O.U.’s head coach claimed that Clay’s knee touched down, but Referee Sisco disagreed. As Texas pulled away in the second half, O.U. fans threw bottles and cushions onto the field and hanged Sisco in effigy after the game.

In 1992, Texas tennis head coach Jeff Moore’s team compiled a season record of 25-4 and reached the NCAA National Championship finals. While College tennis, like golf, is inherently dependent on individual performance, team spirit is still an essential part of the winning formula.
Susan Gilchrist, and Vickie Paynter, were the nucleus of the 1992 team. Out of high school, The elite college tennis schools passed over both. At Texas, both Susan and Vickie, driven by internal and external motivation, proved the “elite” schools wrong.
The Horns upset Stanford to advance to the NCAA finals. Texas broke Stanford’s 53 match home win streak and their string of five consecutive national titles. The victory was heralded as one of the biggest upsets in college sports that year.

Coach Moore saw tremendous potential in Vickie and offered her a scholarship because of the “fire in her belly.”
Vickie was the first to get revenge, beating the #2 Stanford seed in the NCAA tournament.

Coach Moore also believed in Susan Gilchrist. The coach said, “Susan is aggressive to the net approaching the game like a skilled surgeon.” “Her lefty serves are precise, and she can hit volleys with an exquisite touch.” Coach Moore was correct on all counts, including a “skilled surgeon.”
