I believe it was Ogg, the first
known cave-dweller, who in-
vented the rivalry.
On that fateful day, the date
of which has since been forgot-
ten, Ogg smashed a rock on his
roommate, Uhng’s, foot. No one
knows why, but scientists and
archaeologists suspect it had
something to do with the phone
bill, and assure us it hurt really
bad.
In fact, the blow hurt Uhng so
much, he was compelled to pick
up a rock — larger than the one
Ogg used — and hurl it back at
his roommate, who tried to de-
flect it, but ended up shattering
the fingers in his throwing hand.
And the rivalry was bom.
Over the years, the rivalry has
blossomed into an art form. Our
hunter-gatherer ancestors deve-
loped it as much as they could,
but their limited intelligence did
not provide for truly enjoyable
grudges. And although they
were very busy hunting and
gathering, they made an effort to
continue the tradition by taunt-
ing their rivals about die size
and amounts of food they for-
aged. This led to shoving
matches. And before they could
say “Ice Age,” our ancestors
were hurling rocks at each other
again—heating up old rivalries.

Arlington home. “I guess it was north of the border,
a matter of eventually being in
the right place at the right time.”
For the better part of a de-
cade, as he pursued a career in
professional football, Wells al-
ways seemed to be in places at
the wrong time.
“My dad, Vernon Sr., was a
great athlete,” Wells said. “He
won the state 100-yard dash in
high school. He was my first
football coach.”
In school, Wells concentrated
on football. His most productive
non-football hours involved art,
but he never received any for-
mal training beyond high school
classes.
After graduating from Port
Arthur’s Austin High in 1973,
Wells spent two years at Ranger
Junior College, where he was a
junior college football All-
American. He transferred to
Texas Christian University for
his final two seasons of eligibil-
ity. The Homed Frogs fielded
poor teams in 1976 and ’77, but
Wells was enough of a standout
Wells’ previously-ignored art
talent came to the rescue. He
was hired as art director for an
advertising agency operated by
an uncle in Shreveport.
And he began selling sketches
of themselves to athletes in the
Shreveport area, including pro
football stars Joe Ferguson, Pat
Tilley and Terry Bradshaw.
They urged him to visit football
training camps and try to get
portrait commissions from other
players.
“I’d grown up with (Washing-
ton Redskins running back) Joe
Washington, so in 19831 started
at their camp,” Wells said.
Wells interrupted his art ca-
reer briefly in 1984 to give pro
football one more try with the
Denver Gold of the fledgling
USFL.
