Walk Ons

So this random thought popped up in my head as i was sittin here at the Cotton Bowl Luncheon. There are only 85 scholarship players on the team, but we are about 130 players deep, and that is because the players that are here and not a part of that 85 man roster are walk ons, which means that they aren't on scholarship. But just because they're not on scholarship doesn't mean that they're not a part of the team. A lot of people feel a lot of different ways about walk ons. Some people treat them like they're less than human just because they're not on scholarship. Some people treat them like regular people. And some people are just indifferent. Persoanlly I feel like they're on of the most important parts of the team. They help us get better everyday, fill in when people are hurt, boost the team's overall GPA (more than you know lol), and just do so much in general for the program. Some of my best friends are walk ons because they are the most down to earth people on the team. They like to hang out, relax, and have a good time instead of talk aabout how great they are/were in highschool and I appreciate that because im the same way. Not every team treats their walk ons the same but they should all treat them with respect and no different than they do the scholarship players because the team needs them just as much as they need their scholarship atheletes. So that's just my random 2 minutes.
