EPISODE 19

The boys dipped into the ATX sports media talent pool and hooked KEYE Sports Director, Bob Ballou into a guest co-host appearance. Follow Ballou on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/BobBallouSports



It was comical from the beginning, as one would expect. Ballou gave the boys some insight to what it's been like as a local tv journalist during Covid19, working from home.



What Ballou didn't mention was that his birthday was the very next day. So, this was the boys' b-day gift to Bob on the eve of his birthday. Happy B-DAY, BOB!!



The boys shifted to an inspirational interview with former Texas Longhorn football great, Ramonce Taylor. The native of Belton, TX described his roles on those great 2004 and 2005 Longhorn team and winning the national title vs USC in January 0f 2006.



Taylor told the stories about the amazing, strong leadership on those teams namely Vince Young.



Taylor experienced a dark time in his life. One incident which ultimately ended his football career. After experiencing some time behind bars, Taylor eventually righted his life on his own and became a leader of young men and uses his story to influence and guide young men as a positive role model in their lives.



Taylor refers to that period of time as a "dark road" and he never lost focus or fight to find his calling. And, his calling is making an impact on young minds and young football talent through his faith.



Ramonce offered his opinion on why the Longhorns and Aggies aren't playing tackle football anymore, but he said that rivalry must return.



Bob Ballou rejoined the boys in segment 3 to discuss the upcoming Texas Longhorns football team and their chances to have a big season, if the season happens.



And, Ballou mentioned a certain tame photo taken in NOLA during Sugar Bowl week in 2018.



Episode 19 ended with a discussion about Ballou's charitable golf tournament benefitting ALS. You can help support this fundraising event, Under Ballou Skies https://www.alstexas.org/events/texas-chapter-events/ballou-skies-golf-tournament/
