Monday night was a special night for Brother T3. Of course, as you already know, Sunday was his 45th birthday, but Monday was like icing on the cake.
The day started with a fabulous mid morning run with some of the other Brothers on their favorite local trail. Low 30’s, no wind, and sunshine made for an exceptional day to be out on the trails. Work reared it’s head for a little while, but soon it was time to head home to pick up Sweet Tee and two of his younger brothers and head to Stillwater. They went by and picked up Frank and Jo Robinson, long time family friends and the grandparents of Oklahoma State University Quarterback, Zac Robinson.
On the way to Stillwater the Robinson told them that Zac’s roommate, Matt Fodge (OSU punter), would be joining them. They arrived and got a table and then waited for the guest’s of honor to arrive.
When Zac and Mat walked in the boys were in awe. However, Zac and Matt turned out to be very nice and rather normal college guys. They chatted with the boys, answered their questions and before long everyone was at ease and having a nice dinner and pleasant conversation. Zac’s grandparents had lots of questions for Zac about his sister and how things were going in school. Matt brought everyone up to speed on his NFL hopes, and Zac cleared up some rumors that Frank had heard. Oh, and the boys all ate. Of course, Sweet Tee and his brothers are growing teens and pre-teens, and Zac and Matt are both trying to bulk up a little.
After dinner, Zac and Matt signed things the boys had brought, and Zac signed two jerseys for T3.
One is going up in the club room at his house along with the Thurman Thomas autographed jersey and the Barry Sanders autographed jersey (anyone guess that T3 is an OSU alumn and fan?). The other will be up for auction at the Crossings Christian School Auction in March.
Everyone had a great time and T3 gave Zac and Matt Pirana shirts, so maybe you will see the Pirana brand being sported around Stillwater soon…
