The legendary fan always had a group around him, lovingly referred to as "Wilson and the Wild Bunch," who could also be seen at his Wilson Ragfest parties. One of the most memorable things about him was his burnt orange Cadillac, which he proudly drove around town.
The memories are endless for thousands of fans & former Longhorns tied to Scott Wilson.

In March of 2016, the Horns added a plaque to Wilson's reserved seat at Disch-Falk Field when he reached the 1000-game mark on his attendance streak. Undoubtedly, Texas will do even more to honor him during this season.

Wilson got to witness a Texas football National Championship in 2005 as well as the baseball College World Series titles in 1983, 2002, and 2005.
Even though the Horns haven't secured a title in either sport in two decades, he wasn't lacking for excitement as the football team made it to back-to-back appearances in the College Football Playoffs and the baseball team played its inaugural season in the SEC.
