Austin will be relying heavily on Robert Quiroga to make some big plays in the pursuit of their first franchise victory. Quiroga had a notable career with the Baylor Bears from 2000-2003, signed with the Baltimore Ravens and participated in their 2004 training camp, played in the Canadian Football League for a year, spent three years in the Arena Football League with the Los Angeles Avengers, and is now starting at wide receiver for your Austin Turfcats.
I first met Robert through his wife, Janine, who is one of my instructors in the Boot Camp Challenge. Seeing as how fitness is on my mind, and the mind of many Austinites, I began my interview by asking Quiroga about his workout routine.
