WACO, Texas — Dave Campbell, founder of the Texas Football preview magazine that became a fixture in this football-crazy state, has died. He was 96.
Campbell died Friday night at his home in Waco, said Greg Tepper, managing editor of Dave Campbell's Texas Football.
Known as “the bible of Texas football,” the magazine was started by Campbell in 1960, seven years after he became sports editor of the Waco Tribune-Herald.
Campbell served both roles for 25 years before selling the magazine and became synonymous with Baylor coverage in his role with the Waco paper. The press box at Baylor's McLane Stadium is named after him, and he maintained a presence at athletic events until his death.
