He was like UT's version of Superman in the RRS:

Anyway, thought you all, whorn lurkers too, would enjoy what Mack said after Blake got an undrafted free agent contract:

“Blake Gideon is a guy, who unlike many in the history of college football, started every game that he played at the University of Texas," said head coach Mack Brown.

Link to prove I didn't just make that up (http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/042812aah.html)

What the hell is that even supposed to mean? I guess he's defending Gideon, but I don't think the NFL cares how many games he started for a bad college football team.

I'll really miss Blake Gideon, he's been one of my favorites in burnt orange. :P

[LVSOONER15]

Who the hell cares mack.

[SoonerAtKU]

He put the "Burnt" in Burnt Orange.

[OULenexaman]

he put the start in game....

[LVSOONER15]

He even knocked out his own team mate.

[BoulderSooner79]

He single-handedly supported the flying-banners-behind-planes industry in Texas after his non-interception vs. TTech in '08.

I can't remember where I read it, but one of the best posts made by a horn fan was when they kept referring to Gideon as a traffic cone on the field.

You either read it on the meltdown thread that I had going last fall, or the whorn board I stole it from.

By the way, remember Vince Young?

After annointing the uber-fail Eagles the "dream team" last season, he is just trying to stay in the league now.

Vince Young, the third overall pick in the 2006 draft, is going to be in Buffalo on Wednesday, auditioning to be a backup Bill. The audition won't be for the starting job he wanted, but hey, it beats no audition at all.
