LaDainian Tomlinson graduated from TCU in 2001 just as I was arriving on campus. I remember seeing the fingerprints of his stellar college football career - campus was covered in "LT for Heisman" stickers. As people described LT, the man - the honest, dedicated, and great man - I couldn't help but have visions of an Ernie Davis-like figure. He was a kid doing good using football as a passionate platform. During his Hall of Fame speech, I was reminded of LaDainian, the Horned Frog, the leader, the all around great man who was motivated to do good and be great. Proud of you, LT! You make every Horned Frog before you and after you so very proud of the work a Horned Frog can do.
