Looks awesome

Looking forward to watching this!

Sweet!

Gig'em Dat!!! Whoop!!!!

Where's a brick wall when you need one. So Pumped to watch this.

I remember a botched onside kick that Dat took to the house. Can't remember the opponent.

I was at that game. It was either Sam Houston or Middle Tennessee State. Can't remember which.

My favorite Aggie as well, Bucky is #2.

I'm old enough to remember all of this. I spent alot of time in Palacios growing up, still do. The Vietnamese are respected now and a huge part of that city and community, you could have never predicted that would be the case. The Vietnamese were treated heinously, but yet, like Dat they have persevered. And just maybe, changed the work ethic for some.

Dat's heart is so big and was just a joy to watch play, he never gave up. I'd be all in on a statue for Dat, if there is one, forgive my ignorance.

I grew up in Portland Texas and was a rival to Dat (Rockport Fulton). I was a couple years older than him but still knew of him. At that time Dat was a very wild child and had a hell of a mean streak. Watching him transform into a model team mate and person during his time at A&M was one of the coolest (and unlikely) things to witness. After joining the Cowboys, he bought a house down the street from my sister in law (his wife Becky and my SIL got to be good friends). Being a Cowboy, Aggie fan, and having grown up in the same area (and watching him turn into the amazing man that he is) has cemented him as my favorite player/person.

I will DEF be witching that

Back when Dat coached linebackers here for that short time, he was at a table during one of the signing sessions. Of course I stood in line. When I got to the table, I put my hand out to shake his and he stood up from the table to shake my hand. I will never forget that or him.

Hell Yeah!!!!

I thought it was UCLA in the Cotton Bowl…

The UCLA game he intercepted it and then lateralled it to I think Jennings. The onside kick recovery for a TD was middle Tennessee state.

Oh that's right, thanks…

Kickoff return for TD vs MTS
1:20 mark.

His book is a must read as well.

Did a couple of those announcers call him Nat?
