Four-time Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross and two-time Super Bowl champion Aaron Ross join Mack Brown, Vince Young and Bob Ballou for an unforgettable episode of THE STAMPEDE! Two Texas legends share the stories behind their journeys to the top of their sports. Aaron looks back on the eligibility issue that nearly ended his Texas career before it began, while Sanya reflects on the disappointment of finishing third in the 400-meter final at the 2008 Olympics and the resilience it took to win gold in 2012. Together, they discuss what the University of Texas means to them, the life lessons they learned through sports and how NIL and the transfer portal are reshaping college athletics. Then, Mack Brown and Vince Young answer YOUR questions: Did Vince ever seriously consider returning for his senior season? Why did Mack turn down an NFL head coaching offer?
