I did not know there was a Billy Cannon Jr. Why did this guy not go to LSU? How does the son of a LSU legend to go another school.

No.
He was drafted out of A&M in the first round as a LB by the Cowboys, and broke his neck in a preseason game. He recovered well enough to live a normal life, but his football career was finished.
Last I knew, he was a construction foreman for Salco here in BR. But that was quite a few years ago.

Nice to hear that.
In my limited interactions w/ him, I found him to be a pretty good guy.

I think he graduated from Broadmoor High in Baton Rouge around 1980. He probably didn't want to have to try to fill his dad's shoes as a mythic Heisman winner at LSU.
Keep in mind that Billy Sr. was arrested on July 9, 1983, and didn't exactly have a spotless record in B.R. before that incident either (see his crazy days at Istrouma High), so who knows what other factors figured into Billy Jr.'s decision process.

If this happened today, the pig frickers would never let us hear the end of it.

He was a pretty good baseball player if I remember correctly.

Way too much pressure and the coaches at LSU at the time left much to be desired.

Wanted to be his own man and not live in his fathers shadow. Nothing wrong with that.

my apologies. The flagship is so fricking annoying and people are so gullible. it is so frustrating.
Posted on 4/24/11 at 10:08 pm to Draconian Sanctions
In that case, then, it should be "sheep frickers."

I would say maybe Jackie Sherrill paid him but the Cannon's probably already had plenty of fresh $100 bills at the house :)
