Cool: Attending a football camp hosted by B.J. Johnson, Roy Williams, and Sloan Thomas.
Cooler: Attending a football camp whose coaches include Nathan Vasher, Jonathan Scott, Richard Hightower, Michael Huff, Chris Simms, Bo Scaife, Michael Griffin, Derrick Johnson, and Kasey Studdard.
Coolest: Part of the proceeds go to support the Boys and Girls Club of the Capital Area.
For those with youngsters in the region, the 2008 Texas Premier Football Camp will once again be held in Austin during July. This year's camp will take place at LBJ High School on Thursday, July 10th and Friday, July 11th, with each practice running from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The cost of the program is $225. Frankly, I'm shocked it's not more - that's a great price for two days the kids will never forget. (Seriously. I still vividly remember watching TJ Ford lead the dribbling drills at a camp I was attending, then being overjoyed when I was singled out for proper execution of the backwards loopty-loop thing. Or whatever it was called. Who remembers these things?)
Best of all, a chunk of the proceeds support a great organization, so if you're on the fence trying to decide between camp and gasoline for a week... do the right thing. Support a great local charity and save the environment while taking the bus because you're too broke for gas. Everyone wins.
What: 2008 Texas Premier Football Camp
Who: Young football enthusiasts (ages 7-18) and their coaches, who you may recognize
When: July 10-11, from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Where: LBJ High School (map)
How: To register, visit the online application center
Why: You heart charity and Texas football and your kids. Right?
Right.

Chris Simms?
Really? That’s great. Have heard that Simms has not come back to Austin since he left. The way he was treated in 40 acres was uber shameful.
In Mack Brown We Trust!
nah, simms
has been here, he was here lately actually. At the celeb basketball game a couple of months ago.
I know he was treated like crap…. but, cmon, I mean, Mack Brown kinda is to blame for that. Not Major, and not Simms, and IMO, not the fans. “Attitude reflect leadership” “Remember the Titans” LOL
Mack Brown is to blame?
For Texas fans being assholes to a guy who just wanted to play football and CHOSE to come to Texas when he could have gone anywhere? I hope my sarcasm meter is just on the blink today.
Can't recommend this enough
Besides being a beyond great cause, you get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk the hallowed grounds that produced both future All-American D.J. Grant AND WorstFan. Also, Shon Mitchell will hunt you down like a cheetah on the prowl in the Serengeti if you have kids and do not sign them up for this camp.

this is the part that was pertinent
As a walk on at The University of Texas, Hightower earned three letters while playing wide receiver and was rewarded for his dedication and work ethic with a scholarship in his final season.
In a list of well-known players from texas, his name stood out like a sore thumb.
I didnt even notice that part
As I read he has run the LT camp the past few years, I didnt realize he also had UT ties. Cool.
