Any news on Roschon’s injury? it would be horrible for a guy who has given so much to the team to be injured and have to miss his last home game.
I wanted to invite Coach James Williams to the Baylor game, but his team plays Friday afternoon at 6. I have posted before that I first visited with Coach Williams of Fort Bend Marshall the Monday after they defeated PNG and ended Roschon's HS career. Coach Williams grew up on the Southside of Chicago, went to Illinois (IIRC) and migrated to Fort Bend County as a HS coach. Long before the PNG game, Roschon had committed to Texas as a QB. As I watched the game, I paid particular attention to Coach Williams defense and how they "treated" RoJo. NEVER did the defense go after Roschon's legs, which brought back memories of the Joe Namath Orange Bowl game. Coach Williams recognized the fact that RoJo was not only a great player but also an outstanding human being. That Monday morning I called the Superintendent of Fort Bend ISD, the Athletic Director, and finally Coach Williams to say "Thank you" from a loyal Longhorn and grateful Longhorn Nation. The man is a great coach and better human being, someone you would want to coach you son. I really wish he could be there to help us honor a great young man, but also a class act that made sure he arrived in Austin without injury
He has become one of my top favorite players to ever step on the field at Texas. He has sacrificed and compromised so much to do whatever is asked of him and you never hear a peep then he excels. I just can't believe we haven't run a tailback pass play when we have the ideal runner to do that.
