AC Athletics had a successful Crimson & Gold challenge, nearly doubling the amount raised in 2019 despite a challenging 2020 environment. See, there is good news in 2020 after all.

As part of the effort, I offered to give away five copies of my book “Roo Tales: The Stories of Austin College Athletics” to five randomly selected donors. There’s no point in writing a book unless you are going to give them away. Thank you David Norman, JR Ohr, & the AC athletics staff for allowing me to be a part of the team; let’s do it all again in 2021.

AC athletics has randomly picked five donors from the Crimson & Gold challenge to receive the book. And here they are. The Top Five:

T.j. Randers
Paige Rutherford
Wendell Brown
Tom Boyd
Dr. Don Williams

The five winners can expect them to arrive in the mail sometime next week. Enjoy!

Thanks to everyone who contributed during the challenge. You are all Top Five in my book.
