Trace Adkins is singing for his college crush.
Adkins is performing the national anthem before top-ranked Baylor's game Saturday against Texas A&M. The Lady Bears are coached by Kim Mulkey, who was a pigtailed point guard at Louisiana Tech when Adkins was a freshman walk-on football player there.
When doing a cover version of the song ''One in a Million'' during a concert last year, the country music star relayed the story of having a crush on Mulkey when they were in college 30 years ago. He had seen her again after watching a Baylor game on TV.
Adkins, who says Mulkey didn't even know who he was then, says he told the story off the cuff.
