Today is Signing Day

[BrahmaMom]

Am I the only one excited about this? Bellville has three signing--Schneider to A&M, Goeke to Blinn, and Runnels to SFA. Congrats to these three and all who commit today to college football and an education!! Dawgdad, I'm thinking about you today! Best of luck!

[Tiger Turtle]

Rumor has Sealy's big center Emshoff also signing with Blinn. Will be kind of funny with Brandon and Rob being teammates after playing against each other in the heated Bellville-Sealy rivalry for the past few years. About time the Bucs started to pay attention to some of the talent in their Austin County backyard.

I'm heading to Kyle Field right now to listen to Fran tell us about what looks to be a solid class.

Congrats to the Austin Co. Boys, Brandt, Louie, Travis, and Rob. How bout Emeal? Is he heading anywhere?

[fball4life]

Well I know of one Manor Player so far that has committed already and that is there BIG defensive tackle Robert Jackson, he is go to Frisco. I think the middle linebacker Bryan Tarvin is going to Tarlenton State along with several other Mustang Teamates. Best of luck to everyone!!!!!

Also, according to the local news, Brian Love of Iowa Park signed with Tarleton State Univ. He was one heck of a LB! Glad to see him sign with a good football team.

LepFan: They have some very good coaches there. My son was impressed that they were all in shape!!! Also the last two years thay have had some good seasons. Benard Scott out of Vernon goes there. He was red shirted this year but sould be a major player next year. He was one of the best backs I have ever seen play. 2,500 yards as a junior at Vernon. If you ever catch a game look for my son (not this year though he will be red shirted).

Thanks Keith...we'll be thinking about you as we drive through Gainseville on the way over there on Saturdays! You and that picture of that championship trophy that is on your posts. That is one heck of a photo!

Does anyone know about Chief Woodman's son? I think he was a senior, but not sure. Also anyone know about Scott Andrews out of Graham?

My very best to all the young men who signed today--they are all winners. Some may not be ending up at their "dream school" but may they learn to blossom where they are planted. Congratulations to all of you and your families.

According to today's Barnacle, Sealy's Trent Slaughter also signed with Blinn. The Austin County presence in Brenham gets stronger.

Pretty cool though--at least my 17 year old thought so....me too!He was there when I was there...might I say he was not as freaky back then...there is one very touching story from back then regarding a family he lived with and worked for in a very small community just outside of Durant...it shows that he does have a heart...or at least he did :) He was called "The Worm" back in those days...

[Z motion 10 out on 2]

Yes it said "The Worm" next to his name on the wall there in the gym. That is neat that he went to school there. Now my boy can say, "Hey I went were the worm went"

LOL...that is something...Reba went to school there, too. My husband has a cousin who plays baseball for SOSU...he will be a senior or is a senior now...I forget. What is fun about SOSU is you can (or used to could) enroll in some PE courses and end up at Lake Texoma water skiing, scuba diving, etc. for credit...tough class, huh wink

[Z motion 10 out on 2]

Yes that does sound pretty tough... I would hate to have to go water ski and fall and get a "B"!

Tough life they have over there on the lake.
I didn't know that Reba went there. Wow that school has a lot of history then.

Cuero LB/TE Brady Urbanovsky signed with Air Force Academy.
