HSB Note: "PAEPULE WENT TO Saint Louis (so long ago it was spelled "St. Louis") as, he says, "a punishment." His mom didn't want him to get into trouble. He had no interest in football -- he'd played just one year of Pop Warner and hadn't liked it. He was a basketball man. But then Cal Lee talked him into trying out for the team. Then he was on varsity as a sophomore. Then he had a full ride. He loves football now. He loves Lee for that. How long has Timo been around? He and his old high school coach came in together at UH."
