Greg takes us for a ride in the college football time capsule to 1969, when the Texas Longhorns were named National Champions and defeated Notre Dame in the '70 Cotton Bowl to cap an unbeaten season.

On that New Year's Day in Dallas, Longhorn Billy Dale scored the winning touchdown in the final minute and he recalls the jubilation of the moment and how it seems like 'yesterday'.

Billy Dale has a deep knowledge of college football, he shares his insight into several topics including his co-creation of the Texas Legacy Support Network, that is geared toward helping former Longhorn players through personal difficult times.

Join Billy and Greg for a frank discussion that is well worth the listen.

Best,

Greg Kerr
