I was around 13 or so growing up in a family of Longhorns,(also Cowboys, which is why I am a Packer Fan to this day) and that game was what made me want to be a Cougar, that 2nd quarter killed us, especially when Davis scored late. D ruled the second half as I recall. I would pretend that I was Robert Newhouse whenever we played “prayerball” the rest of the winter.

Coach Yeoman took a program that was everyone’s favorite Homecoming opponent and made it a National powerhouse.
He produced 56 NFL players. On many occasions lead the Nation in Total Offense and Rushing Offense.
In the early ‘80’s DCTF named him “ Professor of Football”.
He will always be that. Our greatest Professor…of Football and of Life.

Imagination, guts, character, and warmth. He was a great man. I wish we could name the stadium after him. Man what a loss!

I have great memories of the times when we talked and he called me “Coach” but it made me feel good.( I realize he called many others coach also.)
What you did for our university is beyond belief
God bless you

When did you work at the Daily Cougar?
Years ago I came to Houston from Victoria where I resided to attend a Spirit of Houston meeting at the Black Labrador. The guest of honor was supposed to be Coach Levine, but he was unable to attend, so they sent Coach Yeoman instead. Instead?! How about forget about everything else! Coach Yeoman is here! He was as gracious as he was humorous. Truly a memorable moment. Happily, I have pictures to prove it!
