AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Texas defensive end Henry Melton and linebacker Sergio Kindle will miss the first three games of the 2007 season after being charged in separate DWI cases over the summer.
Kindle and Melton will miss games against Arkansas State, TCU and Central Florida as punishment for being arrested over the summer. The announcement came from coach Mack Brown as the Longhorns reported to training camp Sunday.
The players will also be held out of the first couple of days of practice when they will visit with an unidentified woman whose child was crippled by a drunk driver, Brown said. The players must perform some form of community service on behalf of the team before they will be allowed to play.
"I think we've got to send a message, and kids have to learn," Brown said. "It is a good opportunity for our football team to step up and talk about how serious we feel about drinking and driving."

Now that's the Mack Brown I know and love.
Oh yeah, and I forgot to tell you we're getting a new Pastor at Hillcrest.
He's a really amazing guy.
I have listened to several of his messages from his previous church and have to say I approve.
Very good. Very solid. Very biblical. I'm excited.
Here's his blog:

Myles,
Looks like you've gone to work on blogging since I've last checked. Somebody call ESPN! I think they have a new sports critic.
Nevertheless, keep it comin'. Talk some about the Bible, too.
Here's your first assignment:
Should unbaptized believers partake of the Lord's Supper.
Your thoughts are desired.
Peace
