What's the inside update on Lil Roy
Thought I read somewhere that you worked on campus, if so let me know if you ever get a chance to talk with Lil Roy. Worked with his brother in Lubbock and need to get a hold of Tracy some how.
Thanks

I hope Corso picks us too...he's money when it comes to his picks on Gameday. I know Fowler has already picked us. Regardless, I could care less about their predictions, as long as we kick their ass.
As far as Roy, he'll sit out the Tulane game but should possibly return for the Okie St. game. We're deep at the WR position so we'll have some hosses to back him up until the Red River Shootout. BTW, you have me confused with UT-Longhorn. I believe he is a student at UT. Not sure who Tracy is though.

All these damn Horns- sorry about the confusion. Agree your deep at WR - also no need to make the injury worse.
Tracy is Roy's older brother. Has the same last name as the oldest brother of the group - fromer All American Wideout from Texas Tech University - Mr. Lloyd Hill
Famous in Houston for his work with the Arena team
Well that maybe a little over stated
Any idea on why BJ's not getting the ball. Course I see this and see UT setting a trap for OU but maybe there is something else behind it.
Also maybe we could make a little wager on the Tech - UT game. Round of beers or something. My numbers say I should be getting 65 but I'll take 63.5. I think that is about the average number you've beaten us by the last couple of years. Something like that.

Made close to 24k a year playing WR and LB for 60 minutes. Last I heard he moved his family to Dallas to make a living in the insurance industry.
This will be the last one Felonious - sorry about screwing up your post

So did little roy - at Permian
Verone was a D back I believe -
Went to a few parties and believe I met Verone - Not an easy way to say this, but didn't Verone have a tad bit of the bug eyes. If that's him - he was a good guy - but terrible when it came to slapping bones.
The good ol days.
Went to Hays from 90-94 and just moved back from Lubbock in December. I'm going to have to get together with you Austin boys sometime for a drink.
