If you figure they are both double-legacies (not only dad, but grandpa also played for Royal) then missing both would be a quadruple-legacy loss. And I am not sure what to call it if we also factor in that mom is UT.
I imagine they’ll all come here and I’ll be very surprised if they don’t. The Texas doesn’t develop NFL caliber lineman talk from other schools is such b.s. and their Dad would have to know that. it’s awfully hard to “develope” NFL caliber players when you don’t have them to begin with.
Not sure if the local media has been covering it, but a friend of mine - retired Navy Seal - is working with the Longhorns during their offseason program. His company, Acumen Performance Group, worked with the 49ers during the preseason last year and the Falcons the year they went to the Super Bowl. They do team building type stuff, simulate Navy BUD/S training along with leadership and team building. He's posting on facebook this week from your stadium with the team doing the log-carry drill and other activities.
I like this so much. It is very good for someone to tell these players not to feel sorry for themselves and to have credibility when they say it. These are guys that literally trained to the edge of death to prepare for war. They will have no sympathy. Second, I really appreciate that the emphasis is on working out as a team. There is no place to hide or become complacent when you are carrying a telephone pole as a group. Learning that you only succeed as a team will pay dividends in August (and hopefully January).
Guess I’m really bored... “Rocking out at a metal show or tossing up hook 'em horns (with your hand in a fist and index and pinky fingers extended) is a bad idea in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and Colombia. In these countries, the University of Texas' signature hand gesture can be used to indicate that someone's wife has been unfaithful.”
I posted somewhere a month or so ago about Tom's penchant for things like this and noted it as a reason I remain confident in him.
Wait, that would require that he tackles a whole lot better than he blocks. When the ball was on the ground or turned over this year, Epps immediately became transformed into a spectator. His mind was in the food court. He might as well have been also.
