Eazy Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Wow. I wonder what happened. Great guy, great RB. He was the #2 all time leading rusher when he left Groveton. Great career at A&M also. Quote
PNGFan Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 I met him when he was at A&M. Good friend of mine was dating his girlfriends best friend so we all triple dated many times. Was a hell of a nice guy. Down to earth. Gave us many tickets when he played for the Oilers. Quote
TxHoops Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Groveton would give us our 3rd to 4th round exit every year I was in high school. He was a year younger than me and a super nice, humble guy. Saw them play Cooper in the state semis the year after I graduated (bam morris was a senior for Cooper). Rodney and Groveton won 82-6. Yes, 82-6 in the state Semifinals. #Rip Quote

Yes, 82-6 in the state Semifinals. #Rip Groveton beat Cooper 82-6 in the Regional Semi-Finals (Quarter-Finals...3rd Round), not the State Semi-Finals. I didn't realize Bam Morris was a senior for Cooper that year. I remember wanting to go to that game (had a couple of friends from Corrigan that were going) but ended up going with some other friends to see Newton/Mexia instead. I did go to the Groveton/Corrigan-Camden game the next week. That was the first time I got to see Rodney Thomas and I was thoroughly impressed. Quote

LocknLoad Posted June 20, 2014 Report Posted June 20, 2014 HERE.... During Thomas’ four years at A&M, the Aggies were 42-5-1, winning the Southwest Conference Championship and reaching the Cotton Bowl in each of his first three seasons. A&M went 10-0-1 when Thomas was a senior, but the Aggies were not eligible to play in a bowl game. Great Aggie!!! RIP Block T Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
Big girl Posted June 27, 2014 Report Posted June 27, 2014 Wow. He went to A@M with me. He was a very nice guy. Quote
