Micah Awe was still a young-pup linebacker for Texas Tech when he first appreciated the magnitude of tortillas fans threw from the east side of Jones Stadium.
At one of Awe’s first games — probably his first — hundreds of ’em came flying out of the student section.
A scene from the movie “300” flashed through his mind and an exchange of dialogue between Persian Wars gladiators:
“Our arrows will blot out the sun.”
“Then we will fight in the shade.”
“I was looking at kickoff, and I see like the scene in ‘300’ when arrows are in the air,” Awe said.
