Anyone notice that they're working on sprucing up the east grandstand at Rynearson. They're adding green to the upper ring! I can't tell if its paint or Fathead material. I will run by the stadium again to check it out. Driving by, it looks good. Also, the bubble appears to be repaired. Any updates on that?

Yes! It appears the upper cement ring is being painted green with the ring of honor names painted white. This includes the cement on the west side as well. They are just starting the painting of the names and I will predict that they will put some new ones on there...Lang, Jones, Roberson? In any event, it looks 10 zillion times better! I'm pumped!

Wellock? What is the standard for getting your name up there? I thought it was professional ball, but I don't know about Wellock playing.

Being an All-American or playing in the NFl.....it was either 05 or 06 that Wellock was 3rd team which qualified him.

Wellock also was a finalist for the Groza Award. I believe that was in his junior year.

I don't mean to sound like a shill for Daniel Holtzclaw, but he was a member of the Freshman All-American team and entering his senior year was the NCAA's active career leader in tackles.
