Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said assistant WRs coach John Perry will assume a bigger role overseeing the receivers with co-OC/WRs coach Holmon Wiggins being promoted to OC for next season. He said he is not ready yet to name a QBs coach.
The Texas Quote of the Day comes from Townes van Zandt. It's pretty heavy. He was interviewed in 1992, when Garth Brooks was just becoming big. Townes was asked if he thought the newfound popularity of Garth's music might benefit him, somehow, as a songwriter. Townes responded:
“No, I don’t think, as a matter of fact, that I’m going to benefit from anything on this earth. It’s more like that. I mean, if you have love on the earth, that seems to be number one. There’s food, water, air, and love, right? And love is just basically heartbreak.
Humans can’t live in the present like animals do; they just live in the present. But humans are always thinking about the future or the past. So, it’s a veil of tears, man. And I don’t know anything that’s going to benefit me except more love. I just need an overwhelming amount of love.
And a nap. Mostly a nap.”
---- Townes van Zandt, in an interview with Peter Blackstock in the alternative-country bimonthly magazine "No Depression."
I read Townes' words and it's apparent to me that some people live life on a deeper level than I do, closer to the core, to the true essence. Meanwhile I'm out here wondering what shirt I should wear.
