II vividly remember dropping him off at his dorm room four years ago. We are very proud parents. It is hard to believe I have a college graduate! I have been promising him a trip to Europe after college graduation since he was a little kid. He held me to my promise, and the two of us will be going to England and France two days after he walks in August. My second son, Jacob, got a full D-1 scholarship to play football at Sam Houston State University. Not bad for a Junior College walk-on! He told me a story last week that I had never heard. As a walk-on at Tyler Jr. College, he wasn’t expected to play that much. After his first week in practice, he was the 5 string safety! At his first college game, he did not get in the game during the first half. Here is the story he told me: After halftime, they were kicking off to their opponent. The kickoff team was lining up on the field, and they only had 10 players on the field. th Jacob will be playing linebacker and is #10 for Sam Houston, so look for him on TV on Saturdays. We will have a busy fall as we plan to make all the games this year, including at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu (yeah!), the University of Texas in Austin, and Oregon State University. As they say, “Hard work pays off!” My third son, Ben, will be a senior this year at Argyle High School. He is working at Buc-ee’s this summer, so we are not getting to see him very much, but he is saving a lot of money. We are taking a father-son trip to Sun Valley this summer to go fly fishing. (read more pg. 4) As the coaches were searching for the missing player Jacob runs in and takes the missing player’s spot. He wasn’t even on the kickoff team! The kicker kicks the ball down to the one-yard line and runs to his left as Jacob flies down the field and solo tackles him on the 2- yard line.I can remember him jumping up with so much enthusiasm as his teammates mobbed him. Shortly thereafter, Tyler scores a touchdown, and they leave him in on the kickoff team, and he again solo tackles the return man on the 2-yard line.He was the starting safety two weeks later.
