The Story
- UPDATE: 06/07/2011: Well Mrs. McCoy may have pointed the NCAA investigators directly at Mack Brown and Texas.
On Tuesday, June 7, Rachel called in to ESPN Radio's The Herd with host Colin Cowherd to discuss amongst other things, the benefits athlete's are given behind the NCAA's back, and the gifts boosters give to football players. Among some of the more interesting comments,
"At Texas you’re taught to take absolutely nothing, I don’t care if it’s a hot dog or soda. But you’ve got guys, grown adult men with law degrees – educated men – what are they going to gain out of this? It’s to say, ‘Hey, I bought so and so dinner, hey I took so and so to do this’ … It’s grown men and their pride.
You cannot expect 19-20 year old kids to say no to free stuff when they’re in college … It’s hard, I think, for a lot of these guys to even know to say, ‘I can take this, I can’t take this, nobody’s going to know, will someone find out?’Things that could be handed to you that seem so minor – a dinner, a hunt, a fishing trip – most kids don’t even realize are illegal."
Boy, leave it to a Baylor track star to potentially take down the mighty Texas. You can imagine there will be plenty more to come.

I had the opportunity to meet Rachel during a flight to Cleveland recently. ..I didn't realize for some time who she was due to the fact she is very down to earth and humble. She looks nearly identical to my fiance and their personalities are identical. .
She like my Tiffany are a delight to talk with. .. only after some conversation and my thought process did I realize who I was talking to. .lol. I mean for goodness sake we were sitting coach and when I asked her if she was from Cleveland she responded "no but my husband just got a job there " LOL Yeah he sure did! !!!! I've admired colt his entire career being a Texas native myself. ..the man defines determination and leader. .. the I am second video is exactly what makes me wish nothing but the best for him and also Rachel. ...I was happy to see that he makes her glow when she spoke of him. ..i loved the fishing story she told me of when colt and jarod are hanging out like they are brothers best wishes and good luck to them both. ...it was a pleasure to have met her. .god bless them both. ..
