Everyone else seems to be doing it, so I think I should go ahead and make some of these all time teams with a slant towards our Longhorns:
OFFENSE:
G Derrick Dockery - Consensus All American in 2002.
G Kasey Studdard - All Big 12 selection in 2005 and 2006. Anchored the weakside interior of 2005 National Champions
T Justin Blalock - All American 2005, Consensus All American 2006. Protected Vince Young's blind side in Championship year, and protected freshman Colt McCoy in McCoy's inaugural campaign.
T Jonathan Scott - Consensus All American in 2005.
C Dallas Griffin - Draddy Trohpy Winner in 2007 for work off the field as well as on the field.
WR Roy Williams - Holds most major receiving records for Texas, and earned them during times with the most overrated QB was at the helm (Chris Simms) and before Vince Young figured out the best way to play his game.
WR Jordan Shipley - What records Williams doesn't have, Shipley holds or will hold soon. His ability to change games with his kick and punt returns puts him on the list.
WR Quan Cosby - Tough call between Cosby, Limas Sweed, and BJ Johnson, but it was Cosby's effect on the 2008 game as a possession receiver that puts him over the edge, as well as being part of the 2005 Championship team.
TE JerMike Finley - No better talent at TE, with all due respect to David Thomas. Finley was a game changer, and could stretch defenses like no other. Thomas earned respect as VY's check down, but Finley could pop for a big game at any time.
RB Cedric Benson - The most decorated UT back this side of Ricky Williams and Earl Campbell, Benson was the bedrock of the offense for 4 years. He'd be the leading rusher in school history if not for a couple of Heisman winners ahead of him.
QB Colt McCoy - All time winningest QB in NCAA history. Most every school passing and total yard record. 2 time Walter Camp Player of the Year. Heisman runner up (2 finalist appearances). Maxwell Winner. 2 Time All American. 2 Time Sporting News National Player of the Year. Davey O'Brien winner. All that's missing at this point is a National Championship - and there is still a chance for this.
