Well he would have been a good pick any of the last 15 years. I just chose the right year. This will all come to fruition when an Olsen twin kicks the can.

My first thought when I heard Dick Clark died, 'damn, pretty sure Framp had him in his death pool.'
I'll give a tip of the cap for that one, two for two is pretty solid no matter who the picks where.

Whoever had former NFL great and legendary TCU history professor Ben Procter on their list gets bonus points. He was an amazing professor of history and I had no idea he played in the NFL. I was fortunate enough to have him for two classes. If you took a Texas history course in college there's a good chance that you studied at least a snippet of his work. We had to read one of his books in a course I took at UNT. Oddly enough, my professor for that class is now a tenured history professor at TCU and a few of his publications are widely used at the collegiate level in Texas. Stay hard Doctor Procter.

Every text I ever had on Texas history came from Texas State. They are the foremost experts on Texas History for some reason.

Weird. I never had one from TSU/SWT/TMU. I had one from TAMU Press and a couple from UT. This prof was the president of the Texas State Historical Society for a while and also played football at UT. The UNT prof I mentioned is an A&M grad. He wrote an excellent book on SFA. I didn't even realize he was at TCU until about two years ago I saw his name on a book at Barnes & Noble.

I read a lot of Texas History books and almost all of them are either from Texas State or they mention Texas State's library and resources in their sources.
