[QUOTE="Taylor Bennett Jr., post: 176962, member: 2740"] that goes to the point I make here sometimes that they *vastly* underplayed Bobby's stated football background on the show. As the former All-SWC quarterback for the Texas Longhorns, I'd think he would have been far more well-known for that in most circles than for being a wealthy oil scion. Maybe that's part of why he would have made such a great 'road man' with influence in Austin? (not a Texan here, but Northeast Ohio - think Paul Brown and the pro football hall of fame and substitute steel for oil. Half of the people where I grew up were Cleveland Browns and half were Pittsburgh Steelers, but 90+% were OSU Buckeyes fans. Most people would have known who the All-Big Ten QB for Ohio State was from less than a decade earlier, and from what I understand we were a big step down from Texas as far how nuts people were and still are over football.)
