12th Man QB Tribute to George Woodard
Words can’t express what George Woodard meant to our football team and to our wishbone offense. Neither would’ve come close to becoming as good as they were without Big Woo. George alone is what made the Aggie Wishbone go, end of story, the first option and often the only option.
A sweetheart of a guy in real life, loved and certainly respected by all, and I LOVE Big George.
The 1976 locker room picture of us featured in the video was taken following the second Aggie win inside Texas’ Memorial Stadium in its 55 years of existence - it was also A&M’s very first televised win in Austin. It was the most emotional game result for Aggie Nation that one could imagine. Many tears were shed that night across the stadium and for the first time in Aggie (and Longhorn) homes everywhere.
George would then tie the Sun Bowl record with three touchdowns in a big win over Florida, securing A&M’s first back-to-back 10-win seasons in program history. George was the relentless starting fullback in both.
The ‘76 team remains the only Aggie football team that’s won in Austin, won its bowl game, and finished Top 10 in the final AP rankings.
George was voted 1st-Team All-SWC Fullback in 1976 after winning AP Freshman of the Year in ‘75. George and I were two of college football’s first four recipients of the Freshman of the Year Award. In ‘76, the outstanding Curtis Dickey would join us in that distinction.
A portion of the video is from the all-time highest-scoring game in SWC history, a 57-34 win over Rice when All-America quarterback Tommy Kramer threw 60 passes at us.
We, on the other hand, ran the ball 78 times for 526 yards in our wishbone triple option - to date the most carries and greatest rushing total in the history of Kyle Field.
My friend and teammate, rest easy. What a gift you were to us all, in every sense, a one of a kind. Our deepest condolences to family and friends. 🫡🙌🏽💔✌️

Sharing some highlights of George’s last game prior to his catastrophic leg injury the following summer while playing softball. This clip is from the 1977 New Year’s Eve Bluebonnet Bowl, the third bowl game for A&M in his three years as starting fullback, including his final two touchdowns and his final play as he literally punished the Southern Cal defense throughout. There’s no doubt that Woo...

Because 3-year-old Duke was microchipped and registered as a pup he was reunited with his original owners after going missing from his front yard on Christmas Eve of 2013. Over 2 years later, he wandered into our yard out in the country some 350 miles away. A trip to the vet and a phone call later, and his family was excitedly on their way to get him.

Written in 1962 by Art Neville (available on UA-cam) recorded on the single with "Come Back Love," this is the 1966 version by the Uniques, later a No. 1 song recorded solo by Joe Stampley in 1976 when he earned "Billboard's Single Artist of the Year" - this version is the great rendition from the 60's of an amazing song.

    This team was eerily similar to the more recent 2012 squad. Both started a bit slow and finished strong with identical 10-2 records. Both won their bowl game easily. Both finished in the Top 10. The 1976 team changed to David Walker at QB after the second loss and then went on a roll. It would be interesting to compare the two teams position by position. Obviously Johnny Football was a generational talent and would overshadow everyone else. But I would assert that the 1976 team had more overall talent. Lester Hayes had 14 interceptions that year. Tony Franklin kicked several 60+ yard field goals. The backfield featured George Woodard and Curtis Dickey. And the 1976 defense had an abundance of talent.

    Too bad they did not show the UH game at Rice stadium. I was there for that game. UH’s defense was incredible. Woodard was stupidly used as a decoy all night. The few times he did get the ball, he got stuffed.

    I remember Joe , and the Uniques back in the early 70's as a young teenager. Beautiful bittersweet memories, still get goosebumps listening. This song was big back in East Texas , my birthplace. Its still just as beautiful as the Spanish moss , the glistening sunsets on the Gulf, and the fireflies flickering in that last evening light as the embers of the camp fire die .Love you Joe !

    This is the version with a background string section that bubbled under Billboard's Hot 100 in September 1970. The basic track, minus the strings, is found on the band's 1966 debut lp, "Uniquely Yours." A shortened version that plays 2:45 was released as a single in summer 1966 that peaked in Billboard at #99.
