Spent many hours and dollars in that store. Rooster was also a great kicker in his time I recall?

I went to school with his son, Griff. Also small in statue but a very good athlete.

Rooster & Bill Little had more great stories than the next hundred Horns combined.

I think my favorite is Rooster challenging a competitive swimmer to a race. Somehow, they rigged up Rooster with a small outboard motor. Would loved to have witnessed that.

BON reporting that Quinn has declared for the draft.

Came in with unreal hype. Went 21-5 as a starter. Yea we all had crazy expectations but thanks for making us relevant again, Quinn.

Wish him the best of life. Hoping for great things from Arch like all of us but I never left the Ewers train. Gonna miss the kid.

From my birth in 1960 through 1984 (UT Math BS and Law JD) when I left for 12 years to “see the world,” and then from 1996 to 2025, I have lived in Austin. These days, finding someone who would know of Rooster Andrews Sporting Goods is rare as a hen’s tooth. I moved out to Round Rock this year, and people who say they are Austinites have never heard of Tarrytown or Shoal Creek or Northwest Hills.

I can still remember Rooster Andrews being the “new” sporting goods store in town, but as for his football exploits, I had to rely on my father’s stories. Seems like they let him throw a pass at QB once for laughs (maybe a TD was the story?), but anyway, he was about 5’3” with red hair as I recall.

Good to hear of others who remember Austin of old.

I’d see Rooster and his brother, Bunny, at the Purnell Relays in Angleton every year. They served as starters. I wish I had known more about Rooster and Bunny and their time at Texas back then.

On one of those random Facebook sites some dude just posted that 'Johntay is about to trade his NIL for a CDL'

Weirdly difficult for the irresponsible to keep a truck driving job. Drug tests. Only one at fault accident allowed on your record.
