Austin Romaine Will Always Have Saturday
Share your love
There is a possibility that Austin Romaine will be a fine professional football player, make boatloads of money more than whatever he is taking in as a linebacker at Texas Tech, and maybe get drafted by an NFL team that isn’t awful. Maybe he’ll be known as more than just The Guy Named After A Lettuce.
But even if bad luck in the athlete business besets him and none of these things happen, he’s still got Saturday, and if that isn’t enough to get him free drinks in Lubbock for a decade, then shame on Lubbock for yet another thing.
Romaine intercepted a pass from Sam Houston State University quarterback Brett Holloway and returned it 15 yards for a touchdown in the Red Raiders’ 760-7 (okay, 49-14) win over SHSU on Saturday. Which of course is no big deal. Pick-sixes happen all the time. Most Texas citizens could do it in street clothes, or tell you they could.
