What a special day for Tech. Derrick Moore, our team chaplain, will be featured on TVLAND's "The Big 4-0!" tonight at 10:00pm on the TVLAND network. Derrick is a special part of our team and is a very influential person in many of our player’s lives.



From his Bio: "Derrick is a former NFL Running Back for the Atlanta Falcons. His career also led him to the Detroit Lions where he played alongside Hall of fame Running Back, Barry Sanders. Next, Derrick spent six outstanding years with the Arizona Cardinals. He was an All-American Running Back for Northeastern State University and was provided the unique opportunity of being the Keynote Speaker at his own commencement. His other collegiate honors included becoming the most valuable player in both the Hula Bowl and Blue-Gray All Star football classics."



Here is the video preview of Derrick's episode tonight at 10:00pm.
