             REMEMBERING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF E.J. HOLUB

  (Mr. ARRINGTON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. ARRINGTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and 
legacy of my dear friend and Lubbock legend, E.J. Holub, who passed 
away Saturday.
  E.J. was the pride of Lubbock High School and one of the best Texas 
Tech football players of all time. Some referred to E.J. as ``The 
Beast,'' and I called him ``Uncle E.J.'' because he was one of my dad's 
best friends at Texas Tech and a lifelong member of the Arrington 
family.
  E.J. was larger than life on and off the field. His stature and 
strength on the gridiron was only rivaled by the size of his heart for 
people.
  E.J. was a true gentleman and a real cowboy. He loved his family, his 
horses, and all things Texas Tech. He is leaving behind a tremendous 
legacy for west Texas.
  To Sandi and E.J.'s girls: Please know that we love you and are 
praying for you.
  To Red Raider Nation: Take off your hats, get your guns up, and join 
me in paying tribute to our favorite fearless champion and Herculean 
hero, E.J. ``The Beast'' Holub.
  I love you, Uncle E.J.
