My son is from UT and we have been praying for this to happen forever - football, BB, baseball, doesn't matter.

I started trash-talking him last nite after the Texas vicory.

keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

what the hell kind of 'pickup game' are you talking about?

bunch of frat boys standing around who 'wanna play some f-ball' and up walks Kevin and Cecil who want to play too???

That would equate to Kevin v Cecil one-on-one.

So the question comes - which one could more easily tackle the other one?

I pick Kevin for that - I think he would be able to stop Cecil at least once - so Kevin's side wins.

Saw that first thing this morning.

AMAZING stats - don't care if she IS playing in Conn.

Anyone who can throw that many pitches without WALKING a bunch is amazing.

Looks like the sun was in his eyes - lost it at the last second.

8. Billy Cannon's 59 punt return vs Ole Miss

Not to be a typo-narc - but it was 89 yds.

At the time, it was commonly referred to as 87 yds, but for decades, I have seen it referred to as 89 yards = they must have re-looked at the film and calibrated the spot more accurately.

I attended Leesville High School Principal's List banquet last night - an event honoring students who have maintained a 3.8 GPA.

Eddy Fuller was the guest speaker. I had seen him play both at Leesville and at LSU, but never knew that he was a scholar as well.

Turns out he was outstanding as a student, both at LHS and at LSU.

When he went to the Buffalo Bills, they were in four straight Super Bowls. Eddie still had to get 9 hours to get his degree from LSU - and after three years of that Super Bowl shite, he was still unable to register during the Spring semester to finish his degree since registration closed way before the big game was over.

He petitioned the chancellor to let him register late - and was granted the privilege - so he finally completed his degree.

His theme was 'commitment.'

Overall a good speech - I applaud such student-atheletes. Wish we had more of them.

He revealed that he 'got in trouble' early on at LSU - didn't say what it was but I presumed he meant drugs. He said it only took one phone call from his mother to set him straight.

Leesville boy David Detz made the roster after walking on last year. He's No. 19. That's a Wampus Cat from a solid military family

I am glad to hear that - the kid is solid.

I loved watching him play year before last - he was a hitter par execelante`

Most Entertaining Play Call Under LM Regime?
The first sign of lesticles. Jackson throwing a fake punt pass out of his own end zone at Arizona St in 2005.

That is when I developed my man-love for Miles.

quote:

---

I really gave him the benefit of the doubt most of the year being a freshman and all. I was at the alabama game,sitting on the 30 yardline,when on third down and three he rolled to my side, he could have walked for 10 yards but instead threw the ball out of bounds.

---

Precisely the moment when I said that he cannot be entrusted with leading the team - ever.

THis demonstrated total lack of football instinct - and I don't think that is something that can be taught or coached. If you don't have any instinct for the game, you cannot be expected to learn it or lead others towards excellence.

And as I recall, he only need 3 or 4 yards for the first down. Regardless of distance, I do know that the first down was there without doubt and he threw the ball away. :banghead: :banghead:

back when I walked 12 miles to school each way, and all uphill.

Don't forget the snow. It always snowed all the time 'back then' - more evidence of global warming.

eta - and at my school, it was uphill BOTH ways.
