Happy to say this week's column is again brought to you by The Timothy Center. The father-son duo of Doctors Jimmy and Josh Myers, both big Longhorn fans, are doing some great counseling work in the Austin area, especially during such a trying time mentally for many as we all are dealing with a global pandemic and trying to get reacclimated to our normal lives again.
Drs. Jimmy & Josh Myers are the father/son owners of The Timothy Center here in Austin. Both are rabid UT fans, and both could use counseling themselves due to all the stress that this love of the Horns has generated.
The Timothy Center is unique in that it is the only Christian counseling facility in the Austin area that provides one-on-one counseling, couples therapy, an Intensive Outpatient programs for those teens and adults needing more concentrated help, medication management services, and one of the largest sexual addiction treatment programs in the central Texas area.
Another aspect of the Timothy Center is that all of these services are covered by most major insurance policies. Faith-based counseling, faith-based medication management, all covered by insurance is as rare in this area as an undefeated season by…well, you get the idea.
We have offices in south Austin, north near the outlet mall between Round Rock and Georgetown, and our main office about a mile north of the Arboretum on Jollyville Rd. Of course, right now, with the pandemic still raging, all of our adult services can be accessed in an online format.
If you should ever need our services, just give us a call at our main number 512-331-2700 or check out our website at www.timothycenter.com.
Alright, the writing...
1) Bijan Robinson…
I don’t know who will be the starting quarterback for the Longhorns the first Saturday in September. What I do know: that quarterback will share the huddle with college football’s best running back. And that’s going to help whoever it is.
Maybe it’s because the Orange-White game Saturday was the first time I’ve actually seen the Longhorns play football this spring. Perhaps his brief trip in hiding during the Alamo Bowl - did he go visit The Alamo? - after having his carries limited throughout most of his freshman season clouded some of my memory.
When Robinson immediately electrified the burnt orange and white audience during the game’s first touch, I did my best Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio). I imagine Rick would yell towards the television, “that’s the best running back in college football!” as I was yelling it in my head because my one-year-old son was asleep. Hey, I’m learning.
Anyway, it only took one nine-yard run to remind us Robinson is special and easily the best player on the team. He showed patience, natural feel for controlling his pace in the hole, a subtle head nod, quick juke, and a side-step to leave a defender grasping for air and suddenly what should have been a very ordinary four-yard game was a highlight reel condensed into a nine-yard pickup. Assuming good health and an average or better offensive line, Robinson is going to become the best back in the country, making the job for his quarterbacks and new head coach easier to tackle.
2) The bad about the Orange-White game in the trenches…
Kyle Flood might have some sleepless nights because of his offensive line. Perhaps we’ll learn the Texas defensive line might be actually good...
