HTTPS://TEXASLSN.ORG are articles about:

Paden Kelley, a Longhorn football player during Coach Browns era, has passed away. His story is at the top of the que.

In the late 1940’s author, Congressman, judge, attorney, football referee, NFL star, and Texas Longhorn football player tells the story about walk-on All American Don Menasco.

Research is time consuming but a rewarding experience when you find a gold nugget.  Does the name Kamrath sound familiar?  It will after you read  the story in the Que.

After 6 months of research there is a new article added to the TLSN website titled Recruiting, infractions, power, and money.   In addition, Mark McDonald– a Midland Lee Rebel, UTEP scholarship football player who has a son that was All SWC for the Longhorns in the 90’s, — has written a 360 page book titled  Beyond the Big Shootout 50 years of Football Life Lessons that allocates one chapter to the good, bad, and ugly of SWC recruiting.

Many of you may not know that the great golfer Ben Crenshaw had a brother that is part of Longhorn sports history.  A great story about Charlie Crenshaw is in the Que.
