Rip tough guy.

Plenty of Sooner in him too. Didn't I just read he was selling off a whole bunch of memorabilia, like a day or two ago?

Yes, I did.

RIP, DKR.

Suffered from Altzheimers for years. A really good individual that had bad breaks the last 4-5 years in coaching. Lost 2 grown children. That weighs on a parent.

Horns UP, to a great coach.

Edith Royal is putting some of the family's personal memorabilia up for auction Sunday in Austin. Some of the proceeds will go to the Darrell K. Royal Research Fund for Alzheimer's Disease, launched this year.
