Mack Brown Memory (True story)

[UTTUCK]

Back when Mack was hired shortly after they went on a barn storming tour of Texas cities.  I was at the one in Houston, after his talk to crowd was meeting people.  I got in line, got to him, “ Hey Coach Brown, Mike T}%^, nice to meet you, welcome to Texas.  I am nothing special, as average Joe as you can get.

Fast forward 8-10 years later, they go on another barnstorming tour.  Again I go to the one in Houston.  I get in line, get to Mack, and before I can say a word, he sticks his hand out and says “hey Mike, how ya doing, thanks for coming”.  I kid you not, I was astonished.  I think he has a photographic memory.

Just one of Mack’s strengths. When energized, he was incredible on the fundraising and recruiting trails.

Truly, he actually talked about that on his pod cast with Vince and how important it is to remember people’s names knowing what a simple thing like that can really mean to others. I wish I had that super power. I can peer someone and forget their name within the same minute 😢

This happened to a friend of mine. Met Mack in a hallway in Bellmont and talked to him for about 30 seconds. About 10 years later ran into him again somewhere. "Patrick! Good to see you again."
