Reports from Austin..... On Saturday night, Charlie Strong stayed in the locker room, with our kicker, until 1 am.... Trying to console the kid. He called him at 8 am Sunday morning to check on him. The entire team has rallied around Nick Rose, a fourth year senior with a HUGE leg.
After all that Texas has been through in the past 5 yeas, losing a game ... After a 21 point fourth quarter comeback, because of a missed PAT, is something that could ruin the life of a 20 year old kid. Maybe, even drive him to do something crazy. I'm so proud of the way Charlie, and the team has supported him. In the grand scheme of life... It's just a game.
The season isn't over. No way. For Texas? It's just now started. We're going to need our kicker again before this is over.
But, I'll tell you this: this kind of dedication to the kids, will win Charlie Strong a goodly number of bonus chips with this Texas fan. And, I don't think I'm unique.
