In preparation for each of its home games, the Texas football team follows the same routine as most schools. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level2)]The Longhorns review their plays and discuss game day strategies with their coaches. They eat well and rest. But Texas’ game day preparation includes one unique, and very honorable factor — the Friday before every home game, the team visits the Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas. This year is no exception, as a group of players came together and visited the center’s young patients before the New Mexico State game. David Ash, Jackson Jeffcoat, Jordan Hicks and others signed autographs and took photos with the children and their families. The players also took time to play a few games and show the younger kids how to form the Hook ‘Em sign.
