For Matthews? He was integral to student body right, John McCay called him one of the best lineman he'd ever seen, consensus two-time all American, and was drafted #9 overall, presumably based on his college output. That's a pretty solid for a guard.

But if you want someone else, won't hurt my feelings. I hate USC. Even more than Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio State, Michigan, and Alabama.

Barry Sanders is the biggest snub here, and John Elway is the next most deserving, IMO.

Thank you for the resume.  The team is set!!


And for all the Elway apologists, look up Tom Ramsey, his direct contemporary at UCLA.

Not a single Longhorn, the 80s were just so dismal for us.  I couldn't even put one on there, although  I think Kenneth Sims and Jerry Gray were worthy.  They didn't have the name brands that some other guys at the same position did.

Screw name brand, every other all-decade team has that and sometimes only that.  Put the guys in you want in, going forward.

I hear ya.  It wasn't a great decade for my Horns.  If there were guys that non-partisans thought deserved to be on there, then they would be on there.
