Another Side of UT players

[Phil C]

With the bad publicity of some of the players getting into trouble I thought this would also be appropriate. Each Friday before homegames in Austin some of the players visit the Austin Childrens Hospital to cheer up and encourage the kids and the staff, children and parents appreciate what they do. Below is a picture of Defensive Tackle Frank Okam holding one of the children. Very moving indeed.

This is from the UT web site. You won't get the same coverage of these actions on the nations major sports papers like you get when one of the players makes a bad choice and gets into trouble. This is not only unique to UT but to colleges all over the country.

There's also a good article at the S.A. Express News website (www.mysa.com) about Colt McCoy.
