Beaming with joy for my son
@lukepardee
who got a few reps in the TCU v BYU game today. For a guy who puts the team 1st, believes in his teammates & wants to help them get better through his own play in practice I couldn’t be happier! LP - you’re a true servant leader!

Happy birthday to my Dad. I was coached by him for three years at

It’s been five years, but I still think about my dad every day. He set a great example for me and others as a coach, leader, husband and father. Today is extra special because it’s Easter. Love you dad! Happy Easter!
Move-in day today for

On Nov 19th, 1988 after beating Texas Tech in a snow storm in Lubbock 30-29 We were greeted in the locker room by the Aloha Bowl committee passing out flower Lei’s. Here’s a photo of dad giving out a game ball! The Cotton Bowl was the goal but Hawaii for

Okay Coogs, our future is in our own hands. No matter who takes the field at QB or NT, the Coogs have a big task ahead. Come to Memphis and support your home town team in Memphis.

Always the underdog, but never backed away from the difficult path - you embraced it. Jr. High to Varsity, had to fight at every level. Your future is bright, but you are back at the base of the mountain. I can’t wait to see you climb - we know what you are made of!

Great news at the Doc late last night!
@lukepardee
didn’t break anything! Time to rehab and get ready for a Thursday night matchup against College Park. Thanks for all the thoughts & prayers!
#REIGNCAIN
Absolutely one of the greatest offensive minds. There would not be an “Air Raid” or “spread” offense had it not been for Coach Jenks. Today’s Offensees were inspired by the UH offenses of the late 80’s & early 90’s
What a proud moment for our family.
@lukepardee
is a top 10% student in the first ever graduating class from Klein Cain, and will graduate cum laude. Way to go Luke!!
Hard to contain the joy we feel after this game!! This kid has come a long way, and has a long way to go. But couldn’t be more proud of you

A crazy weekend for the Pardee crew, with Ellie’s news being possibly the biggest! She has accepted a position on the Learfield-IMG team at Texas A&M as a Business Development Manager. So excited for her, the team she will be working with at A&M Ventures is great! Congrats Ellie!
Happy birthday to my amazing daughter
@ElliePardee

#PardeeFam
Behind the scenes,
@UHCougarFB
QB
@DeriqKing_
is the same guy in the off season, in the weight room & class room that you see on the field in the fall. A REAL LEADER, hard worker & student of the game. One of the smartest QB’s I’ve been around.

Player A: 2,970 yards, 34 touchdowns
Player B: 3,656 yards, 50 touchdowns
Player A won player of the year. Player B was second team all-conference. Tell me how that makes sense.
D'Eriq King is Player B by the way. He doesn't get nearly enough love
49 years ago, Dad played in SuperBowl VII. His last game as a player. Tough loss to the great, undefeated Dolphins, 14-7. 15 years of playing LB in the NFL. The game was played in the LA Coliseum, the same stadium where my dad began his career as an LA Ram in 1957.
#PardeeFam
Long road travelled to get to College Graduation at TCU! So glad we have had these days to celebrate with you LP since you didn’t get to have a HighSchool graduation!! What an exciting day for our guy
@lukepardee
and for the whole family!!
Wex - brother it was epic!! I would encourage folks to try to find the Houston Learfield Radio broadcast copy. Me &
@KevinEsch1
had the best call EVER!!!
#GoCoogs
So awesome to get a little time with
@time_to_pardee
the night before the game. I couldn’t be more proud of this guy. Senior academically, Redshirt Sophomore FB eligibility wise. And 3 year academic all conf. Great for him to experience the Hawaii Bowl!
I am blessed with the GREATEST wife and kids (and dogs!) in the world. Thank you to my Beautiful Fam for the most awesome 50th B-Day a guy could ever have!

Chris Pezman is one hell of a deal maker. Bottom line: none of these coaches are here without him! We have the best coaches and administrators - quite possibly in the history of our university. Let’s Go Coogs!!
Awesome clip!! Dad battled Cancer three times, the third being his last. Under George Allen, Dad led the NFL in interceptions for TD for LB’s. Coach Allen was great to my father! Thanks for sharing!!
#PardeeFam
So proud of my dad & his time with the Oilers! He passed down the love of this crazy sport called football! I know he & my mom would be so proud of their grandson

Time to bring back a guy who LOVES our University, only as a graduate can! He was a leader in the classroom and on the Football field. He worked hard, never quit and was an inspiration for all. Let’s bring him home!!
#GoCoogs
Coog fans pay attention: we have completely rocked the world of P5 teams because our facilities - ALL SPORTS - are WAY BETTER than theirs!! Check out the competition in the Big12 conference scrambling. Good luck K-State. Oh, and how about a Home & Home series in FB? 😁

HBD to my Dad! Miss him every day. He was a great player and coach. However, my Dad was an even better husband, father & grandfather! Let that be our goal - don’t let the job define who you are. Be the husband and father your family needs you to be.

Welcome to Big Time college FB. I have a friend who was a SWC ref & B12 ref & although he would NEVER admit it, he was always biased towards his alma mater. Can you blame him? The Conference should monitor & have a rule that doesn’t allow alumni to ref their alma mater’s games.
