RIP Coach Dennis Franchione. I appreciate him holding us over from Coach Slocum’s staff and allowing a young equipment staff to grow in a changing environment. Thoughts and prayers to Kim and the rest of his family.

Nobody ran to get the kicking tee like Bill “Mojo” Lackey assistant equipment manager with the #HoustonOilers
He was selected to the All-Madden team one year

Gary Kubiak gave each son - Klint (Seahawks), Klay (49ers) and Klein (Cowboys) - one of his Super Bowl rings. If Seattle wins, maybe Klint will give his back to Daddy to make room for his own.

Scottie Scheffler offers a mental game masterclass on attitude, preparation, and competing with freedom.
"When I step on to the tee at a tournament my thought process is always about my preparation...I remind myself 'I've done the work.'"
"I can go out and compete freely knowing what I've done what I was supposed to do in my preparation and then when it comes time to compete I'm just trying to soak in the competition and go out there have fun, be committed to my shots, and I'm focused most on my mental attitude."
Freedom in performance is a reward for discipline in preparation.

It’s hard to explain just how hard the team behind the team works day in and day out. Maddie is one of those that has given so much of herself and time to @AggieFootball Now it is time for us to be her team and make sure she can focus on healing. gofundme.com/f/help-support-…
