we decided that we would come up with this luggage
called Earl Campbell at TOATS and you could pick them

that we're just starting, but we're hoping to come out

associated with the university since nineteen seventy four when I
came here and the darn Royots and Fred Akers and
Mac Brown and this coach over there. Now, it just
(03:33):
seems that they're doing the same thing back when they
did in nineteen seventy four, because he's turning on kids
now only just great athletes, but he's teaching them how
to be respectful and how to handle themselves as athletes,
you know, which I think is something great. I think
it's awesome.
