A look at Texas Southern

Here's a look at Texas Southern, with a preview of tomorrow's article. Be sure to also look out for a feature on Mishak Rivas in Thursday's edition of the Daily Record.

Take a glance through the Texas Southern roster and you'll likely stumble across a name that looks eerily familiar. Yet, you don't exactly know from where you know it.

You look over the name again, “Bobby Reid,” and then the school from which he transferred “Oklahoma State.” Then it clicks.

If you were in-tune with sports in the last few years, Reid's name should jump out at you as the reason centered around Cowboy head coach Mike Gundy's rant about being 40-years-old.

A writer saw Reid's mother feeding him chicken after a game and thought it would be a clever anecdote. Before she knew it, her merits were called to the floor by Gundy in a press conference, begging her to write about him, because in his words, “I'm a man. I'm 40.”

Following the fiasco, Reid transferred from Oklahoma State to Texas Southern, where he could get playing time. The Tigers welcomed him with open arms and made him the focal point of their offensive attack.

Reid's a big guy for a quarterback, 6-foot, 3-inches tall and weighs 230 pounds. His size doesn't keep him from being an elusive scrambler and an even better passer on the run.
