For ya'll that don't know, I bleed burnt orange. That's right kids, I am a dyed in the wool, forever loyal Longhorn from the University of Texas.
Having said that, I am pleased to say that Major Applewhite, my most beloved football hero ever, has finally returned home as the new assistant head coach and running back coach for the Longhorns.
That news just about had me in orbit. Major is the classiest, nerviest, toughest, smartest player I have ever had the privilege to see in action, let alone on my team.
The comeback he led at the 2001 Holiday Bowl is the stuff of legends and may be the greatest game I have ever witnessed. That is what football is all about.
Welcome home Major, it's good to have you back where you belong.
