Quoth a Longhorn

We think former UT football big hitter Michael Huff could someday have a second career in sports writing:

Since the draft is quickly approaching, I've been thinking about what I'll buy with my first professional paycheck. A lot of people are probably expecting me to say that I'd buy a big house, and that's partly true. But it's not what you think. The first house I buy will be the one with the blue roof on it that says "IHOP." It has been a dream of mine to own my own International House of Pancakes, and someday I will. Just last week I ate there five or six times, and about every time I got the same thing, pancakes and shrimp. It's a cool feeling to know that someday I'll get to eat at my IHOP whenever I want.

Now there's a man who appreciates the opportunities that come with a truly absurd salary. Any shmoe can write about what it's like at the draft combine, which is Huff's ostensible topic as he keeps a draft diary for SportingNews.com. But what we all want to know is what it's like to not only look forward to purchasing an IHOP, but to also order pancakes and shrimp and have nobody bat an eye. Paul Shirley, watch out.

POSTSCRIPT: By the way, we looked all over the Sporting News' website and couldn't find a link to the rest of Huff's diary entries anywhere. If anyone stumbles across it, please leave it in comments.
