This is one of the few that we encourage you to name your own... We'll judge the tenth and
add it when we feel the tenth and final nominee deserves it. This is about sports heros.
There are some notable figures missing... Roger Clemens... Carl Lewis... Lance Armstrong...
While we admire all they did as athletes of extaordinary accomplishments, we have also
taken into consideration their legacy as a critical component of their potential label as
Top Texas Sports Hero of All Time. Sure, Ben Hogan is too far back for many. But he has to
be one of the top ten. Bum? Maybe he's more Texas than Sports... But he's 100%
hero and more Texas than General Sam Houston. Tom Landry did more for the sport of
football in the state of Texas than anyone. His legacy endures, obviously qualifying
him for the list. Byron Nelson? Maybe? Ben Crenshaw? Possible. Cynthia Cooper
of Comets fame? Babe Didrickson Zaharias? Tara Lipinski? Roger Staubach? Troy
Aikiman? Bob Hayes? Jody Conradt? The list can go on forever... Only ten on the list at a
time... We get enough interest in a nominee and we'll put them on the list...
Make sure they have impeccable character...
That doesn't take away from their sports side.
It does eliminate them from hero consideration
