THE NETWORK

All American Loyd Wainscott passed away in December of 2010. His wife, Barbara Wainscott, shares a story on the TLSN website discussing all the facets of how the Longhorn team bond helped her during the last two years of Loyd’s life. In the article, she says, “ A friend walked over to me during the reception and said, “Do you realize what this is? It is a Who’s Who of Texas athletics.” “I took a moment to scan the room.” Indeed it was”. “It was The Network. “ Her article captures the essence of the TLSN mission.
