Beard had a lot of money wrapped around his finger because he sold the fact that he was a lifer. Over 50 million invested in his vision recently. Beard was the president of the Hub/mayor. What is hilarious is that UT has already insisted that they select some of his staff. Things are going to be very very different at UT with empty stadiums and a city that doesn't give 2 shits about him.Whoa, that dude has on a ProPetro hat. CSB time!
We went to Arlington for the opening college baseball tournament that was held this year at Globe Life Park. This guy and his wife walked up because he was being seated at the table next to us. He introduced himself as Dale Redman. We continued our conversation and turns out he was the dad of former TTU catcher, Hunter Redman. He also told me that his son, Michael Davis (former TTU pitcher) and Tanner Gardner (former TTU outfielder) would be joining them. I was able to meet them all which was really cool.
Turns out Dale was the former CEO of ProPetrol (I had to do some google stalking later). I just wonder how close this big dog was to the dude wearing the ProPetrol hat in that picture, and how close he might have been to Beard. I know he has huge ties to Tech because as we talked he told me about conversations he had with Dr. Mitchell (our chancellor) and Schovanek (our president). It was a little unnerving that I rubbed elbows with someone that important.
