    I was sad about my post on Zay Henderson being arrested.
    Now I get to balance that with much better outcomes.
    Congrats to these young men.
    They prove "scholar athlete" is not a fantasy.
    Note the last line about Cedrick Collins.
    Glad to see we honored his scholarship even tho he would never play for us, and that he took full advantage of it!

    Good for those guys. It doesn't really matter what their degree is for the most part, the first hurdle for so many good jobs is do you have a college degree.

    I know all sorts of successful people who have very odd degrees but have good people skills and due to having that degree and getting a chance to show what they could do have had very successful careers.

    kp I would say that Rolando has the time! Plus he made some serious money in the NFL if he didn't blow it all on good times with white powder for everybody! :)

    I'm surprised at Coffee though, I always thought Graduate Assts had to have college degrees and be admitted to Grad school to work on a degree.

    I'd heard from members of the Red Raider Brotherhood that McClain was finally doing good things with his life. Some of them speculated about him being a coach or mentor for youth. I don't know if that's the path he'll choose, but it appears he's on the right one now and needs to stay that way...
