Baylor head football coach Matt Rhule got a chance to spend some time with former President George W. Bush at his Central Texas ranch over the weekend.

Rhule was invited as a guest to the Bush's annual W100 bike ride for wounded veterans on Saturday at the ranch outside of Crawford.

Before the group of 52 riders took off with their former commander in chief, Rhule got a chance to shake the former president’s hand and snap a picture.

The New York City native, who spent most of his life in Pennsylvania, said it was an honor to meet someone he admired and spend time with the nation's best.

"It was an honor," Rhule said.

“I've only seen him on TV so to have a chance to meet a person who has dedicated so much to our country and continues to do so and continues to give back to the people who have served our country, just to be one small part of it here is an honor for me."

Rhule, who wore a "BU" jacket was recognized by many at the ranch and said it's a good feeling to know he has support.

"I think a lot of people, they love this university and they love this community and they know we're working hard to make sure this continues to be a wonderful place like it always has been. So, to see people that love this place we're working so hard to represent is pretty cool."
