Bucky was a fan favorite for many reasons. A couple of things that really stand out:
he was great in bowl games. The aforementioned 1990 Holiday Bowl and the 1987 Cotton Bowl (1/1/88). His terrific performances were appreciated more and more as A&M struggled mightily in bowls in the 90's and 00's.
he was a major figure in the 10 of 11 stretch vs. the longhorns. Winning the 87 game with the QB keeper at Kyle. Running all over the horns in the 88 game before getting injured. And beating the sips again in the 1991 game.
one of his best plays was an electric 32-yard TD run late in the 4th quarter in Austin in the 1990 game. Those are the kind of plays...the fanbase never forgets
