Injured Texas Longhorns redshirt sophomore Quinn Ewers was listening to music on Monday evening, and perhaps sending a larger message about his availability for Saturday’s game against the TCU Horned Frogs at Amon Carter Stadium in Fort Worth.
The music in question? “Dirty City” by the late great outlaw country legend Merle Haggard, one line of which goes, “Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montana.”
Ewers isn’t heading to Montana any time soon, presumably, but the post to his Instagram stories by Ewers came after he started throwing last week in practice following an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder sustained in the third quarter of the narrow win over Houston a little more than two weeks ago.
