2 years ago!!!!! So proud of @B6Jermaine. He’s balling out at Texas! Just finished watching them win and now about to watch my Oldest play his little league game. His team….. The Longhorns!

[Jake Howard @CoachJakeHoward]

Between playing 2ways, scoring 2 Rec TDs, 1 KOR TD, ⁦@B6Jermaine⁩ gave my oldest son a piggy back ride coming out from halftime! Haha! On the side note I might have discovered the only way to slow him down!

Trust the process!

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

Arch Manning’s stat line doesn’t tell the full story of this incredible comeback win against Ohio State.

23/37 196 yards TD, INT, 22 yards rushing

What’s missed is he didn’t panic when his WR dropped an easy touchdown…

Or when a drop turned into an int…

Or when Texas was down 23-3 in the 4th…

As the leader of his team he just keep fighting.

He and his Longhorn teammates just kept swinging and rattled off 21 unanswered points while playing suffocating defense.

It’s a message to all of us who love the game of football, that football is just like life.

It doesn’t always go your way every single day, play, week, drive month or quarter.

But as long as you don’t give up, you have a chance to turn it all around and end up winning in the end.

Never give up.

[Jake Howard @CoachJakeHoward]

Heck of a game!
