Forty Acres Insider: Oct. 22

Greetings Longhorn Nation,

What a special weekend it was celebrating the 50th anniversary of our 1969 Football National Championship team. They all truly embody "The Pride and Winning Tradition of the Texas Longhorns" and are such a blast to be around. It was so much fun hearing their stories, reflecting on their awesome accomplishments and surprising Mrs. Edith Royal and the squad with the replica of President Nixon's mysteriously missing championship plaque. All of these men have been asking the whereabouts of that plaque for decades and with the help of our super sleuth and historian extraordinaire Bill Little and his wife Kim Scofield, they made it their mission to create an identical replica – all the way to the Presidential Seal!
