High school guard J’Covan Brown suspended for a month. There’s some real shady stuff going on down there, this might be for the best.

I picked out my first football cleats at Rooster Andrews‘ store when I was a little kid. Most of my early Texas gear came from one of his stores. His name is one all Longhorn fans recognize. Andrews died today at the age of 84.

The former student manager was associated with the Texas football program for over 65 years, first as manager/water boy, then as placekicker, then sporting goods store owner, and eventually Longhorn legend. The five foot tall Andrews at one time owned four sporting goods stores in the Austin area, and was friends with U.S. presidents and Texas coaches from Clyde Littlefield to Dana X. Bible to Darrell Royal to Mack Brown. Truly a fixture in Texas Longhorn history, hopefully Rooster Andrews’ name will continue to live on.
