So I ran into Hannah Allison at Starbucks this morning at South Park Meadows, I didn't say anything because she was walking out with her order as I was walking in AND because I was a bit star struck AND I couldn't believe she's 5'11 because she looked so tall! Her bio has got to be wrong. lol I believe she dates Jackson Jeffcoat too. She sure was easy on the eyes. She's a UT Alum now so this is my belated senior salute I guess. She had an outstanding career at Texas capped off with a national championship. For that I salute you. I've ran into a couple of UT athletes over the years outside of Texas functions. I ran into Chris Mihm walking out of a bank on Congress days before the NBA draft. Casey Hampton walking out of campus bookstore on the drag when he was a senior at UT. I could go on an on but I am always star struck to say anything and just to see them outside of UT in regular clothes I guess. Oh well just had to put this out there.
I ran into a few of the volleyball ladies at the Baylor game last year. You ever seen them in jeans!? Oh Momma
Hannah recently won the Jill Sterkel Leadership award, given to "a student-athlete who exhibits supreme leadership, competitiveness and graciousness." Very cool. She really seems to be an exemplary student-athlete and representative of UT. My favorite player since Ashley Engle. It's always cool to see how tall and athletic the players are. The tallest UT team I remember was the 2007 team, with three 6'5" players: Jenn Doris, Lauren Paolini, and RuthAnn Feist. Also Destinee 6'4", and Ashley Engle and Jen Christian, both 6'3", and finally Juliann Faucette and Brandy Magee, both 6'2". Wow!
My boyfriend and I have a picture with Hannah and Jackson and they tower over us. Ha! Haley Eckerman goes to my church, and I've never approached her there because I just think that would be rude, but we once saw her at the WalMart near our house. We asked her for a picture, and she was very friendly and said "of course". We asked the people in front of us to take a picture and it was hilarious because you could tell they had no clue who she was.
