Rooster Andrews died yesterday at the age of 84. If you love sports and ever lived in Austin, you probably know the name. I don't remember who introduced me to Rooster. What I remember is that the next time he saw me, he knew my name. In a cynical world, there are few real deals around anymore. Everybody wants something. Everybody has an agenda. Not Rooster. He was the real deal. He loved being a Longhorn more than anybody you have ever met. And he passed that feeling on to thousands of fans. When he would see current players, you would have thought he was a crazed fan himself, not a guy that played with Bobby Layne. His passion, smile, and energy were infectious. Longhorn Nation has lost their biggest fan. Godspeed Rooster.
