The ABC’s of winning by Larry Carlson

ALWAYS BE ADJUSTING

However, I found one historical fact from Professor Carlson’s suggestions for Coach Sark he made for the 2022 football team.

Larry says “Remember when Will Muschamp was the Horns’ fiery, young DC/Coach In Waiting?

Opposing offenses almost always tore chunks out of the Texas “D” on opening drives, taking eight, ten, twelve plays to steadily roll down the field and score. Then Muschamp, a defensive savant, had ’em figured out. The pipes would get shut down and UT would pound people. Texas needs to do that in 2022.

If you want to read Larry’s two articles to Coach Sark about “Always be Closing” and “Always be Adjusting,” here are the TLSN website links:

Authors and sportswriters from all over the country have honored Frank Denius’s legacy and his insightful autobiography “On the Way.”

The book is an excellent read sharing one man’s mission to give back to our country in WWII and to the University of Texas. Horns???? and eyes ???? to a great visionary.

Kate Golden is one of the most accomplished golfers in the University of Texas women’s golf history. She was a leader with a Midas touch on some of Longhorn’s best golf teams.

She won the SWC individual championship three times and finished 9th in the NCAA individual rankings in 1989. . Golden was named to the Southwest Conference All-Decade Team for the 1980s and won three collegiate events.

Judge Joe Bob Golden

Kate Golden is the daughter of Texas Ex Joe Bob Golden, the 1954 Southwest Conference men’s golf individual champion. Joe Bob Golden played at Texas for Harvey Penick from 1952-54 and served as his assistant while attending law school at UT.

An avid golfer, Judge Golden took great pride that he and his daughter Kate were the only parent and child to have won individual championships in Southwest Conference history.

In the book “Longhorn Football” by Bobby Hawthorne, his list of the top defensive linemen in Longhorn football history includes- Scott Appleton, Casey Hampton, Kenneth Sims, Steve McMichael, Kiki DeAyala, and Loyd Wainscott.

In 2017 and 2018, Barbara Wainscott, Loyd’s wife, wrote six exclusive articles for TLSN capturing Longhorn sports football history in the mid-1960s.

One of her articles highlights the revival of Texas football in 1968 following three mediocre years of Longhorn football. Texas beat Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl.

The article is titled “Cotton Bowl Revival, Rolex watches, and New Beginnings.”
