That guy is awesome! The team gets a big kick out of him and they love when he does his stunts.
Is that Mojo Jr? (Obscure Houston Oilers reference for those of a certain age)
His name is BIG HAWK.
his antics are a copy of mojos
It’s funny how the Oiler players basically don’t even acknowledge him.
Bill Lackey died at at early age. The Drs asked him to stop which he finally did.
Over a thousand attendees at the funeral of an assistant equipment manager tells you how the players regarded him.
Also this, from the LA Times article above: Lineman Bruce Matthews, a first-round draft pick from USC in 1983, put it into perspective by saying, “When I joined the team, I had heard of two people there–Earl Campbell and Mojo.”
I wasn’t really making a conclusion based off of one clip. It just made me laugh. Cool story to see that he had such an impact though.

SampsonCoachingTree what a great article. Thank you,
Only fitting that a special human being be written about by one of the very best sports writers Bill Plaschke.
MLK Day reflection: HAWK edition
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” - Martin Luther King
Damn! That’s an old school ASTROturf slide!!! Commitment!
that videos been viewed 700,000+ times since December 28th… thats pretty impressive.
I went to Texas A&I for the 78/79 school year. I remember Mojo doing his thing kicking tee thing for the Javelinas. My family had Oilers season tickets from 1960 until the end, and I saw him in 79 doing it for the Oilers. He was a dang institution in Kingsville and Houston.
