Dan Hays – Walk-on
In 1988 I was a walk on DT for Texas. We were not on the travel squad for OU game. Instead we were given tickets in the Texas section.
There was a group of older gentlemen sitting behind us and all wearing burnt orange. We struck up a conversation with them during timeouts, injuries, etc…the man sitting to my upper right excused himself and went down beneath the stadium.
When he returned, four concession workers followed him, carrying a smorgasbord of hot dogs, corn dogs, peanuts, Hershey bars, and chips.
Dr. Cooley knew how to treat economically disadvantaged walk-on athletes.
Great guy
