AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Joe Jamail, a swashbuckling, billionaire trial lawyer who toppled Texaco in court and so lavished the University of Texas with donations that his name adorns its iconic football field, has died at age 90.

I remember the Texas monthly interview he did with his feet propped up on his desk and there were holes in his shoes. That was before the Texaco lawsuit was decided. After that, no more holy shoes. He earned his way.

Good or bad, whatever you want to say about Jamal, he was a big time booster who loved Texas and put millions into the program.

Boosters like him don't grow on trees.
