Growing up, one of the seminal moments each year was the start of dove season. My mother’s family lived in Coleman and that is some damn fine dove hunting country.
The family would get together and the hunters would go out. When they got back, it was time to clean the birds and have a big feast.
Of course, you couldn’t have a feast if you didn’t bag a lot of birds – doves being so small and all.
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is hoping to have a big feast after next year’s college football national championship game. But instead of going for a bunch of small birds, he’s going big game hunting.
