Texas Football Today

We started on a sad note today with the loss of a Texas football legend in Roger Emrich, and Tepper had a heartfelt tribute to a man who meant a lot to him and the whole state. Then we recapped the Texas high school football players taken in the NFL draft before playing Matt Stepp's interview with South Grand Prairie head coach Brent Whitson at last weekend's Frisco State 7-on-7 Qualifying Tournament.

With help from our friends at Panini America, we took a look at the Texas high school football products that could hear their name called in the 2019 draft, and talked about a few of their high school careers and legacies.

In one of our most on-brand shows to date, we talk to Robert Crivellari, a former high school football coach who is now the proprietor of one of the state's best BBQ joints down in El Campo.

In the first part of the show, we discussed a number of programs rebuilding for 2019, from Allen down to Wellington.

There were a few interesting moments from the Longhorn and Aggie spring games, a big name in the Texas high school football ranks steps down, and Ishmael Johnson runs through his thoughts and observations from time around the Bobcats the last few weeks.
