For those who've never met Ellis in person, he's not a big, strappin' guy. He's a bean pole. The beating he took in Knoxville and continued to pick himself up off the ground and throw strikes made a believer out of me.
Check that. Stepping in when we were getting blown out by Troy, to lead an epic comeback made a believer out of me.
Offensive Graduate Assistant football coach for my Alma Mater UAB... Go Blazers!!!
Interesting side note:
I took the family to Disney during the summer and happen to stop off in the county or adjacent county to where Bryan is from.
I ran into his cousin at one of the places that I had stopped.
She knew I supported UAB because of my hat & she asked if I knew him. I said that I sure did.
She said that she was his cousin.
