My dark secret is that a lot of my family members are aggies. I had a couple of great-uncles and several other cousins play football at a&m. When my dad was being recruited to play baseball, he was a rebel and decided not to go to a&m. He originally committed to Texas Tech. But thankfully, his high school team played against Cliff Gustafson's South San Antonio team during the playoffs in his junior and senior years. When Coach Gustafson was hired at UT in 1968, he convinced my dad to join him in Austin. I wake up every day thanking God for Coach Gus, otherwise I would have probably grown up a Tech fan [shivers!].
So I grew up with burnt orange blood and my brother and I both attended UT - it was the only college I applied to. My wife also went to UT. And now we have a son that will graduate from UT next year!
