Longhorn Bob McKay will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame Class of 2017.
It was a scary moment for a teenager. You don't get called to your coach's office unless you are in trouble. And Bob McKay figured the worst.
It was his senior year at Crane High School, and he was the pride of a school rooted in an ancient part of Texas called "The Permian Basin." Native Americans had settled the land, and cattlemen had driven herds through Castle Gap (which was only a few yards wide) and through the waters of the Pecos River at Horsehead Crossing.
