My trip to the Texas Sports Hall Of Fame

[Doomsday101]

Evening everyone. Just got back from Waco and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Had a great time and got to meet a lot of great athletes and coaches.

My family was guest of Sports writer John McClain and with some help from him I was able to meet many greats in the world of sports. Did not get a lot of pictures but I did get many autographs including inductees Michael Irvin, Former Oiler/Cowboys Ray Childress, Texas Tech HC Spike Dykes, The Stars Mike Modano and soccer great Mia Hamm.

John McClain also had us seated at the table with R.C Solcum, Jack Pardee, Judy Rankin and Darrell Royal so of course I was able to get their autographs as well. Lastly since I was able to meet the host of cerimony Brad Sham I got his autograph as well and that of my host John McClain even though he said his autograph would devalue the football I had these folks sign.

All in all a great evening and fun time.

Wow, it is not often I see "great time" and "Waco" together. Glad you had fun.

Texas Tech HC Spike Dykes

Now there's a good ol' boy.

He's about as nice and genuine as they come ... and funny.

Didn't they have a big barbecue there once?

His was the best acceptance speech of the bunch. Irvin was sick and not feeling very well so he cut his a bit short but Spike had people rolling. I loved it when he said the 1st advice he got before being HC was to hire smarter people than himself and said that was not a problem finding those people.
