Nah George = Debo. There's still a lot of talent that made it to campus.


Honestly, I'm only worried about the secondary, but there's a bunch of talent there, just inexperienced talent.


Did you watch the interviews with coaches? Jay Johnson was so hyped up. I've never heard him talk so loud.

No I didn't see the interviews. I'll check them out. The secondary has me very worried. That's my only real concern as well, but it's a pretty big one.

ULL has a scout page that people subscribe to? I'm not trolling, I really didn't think there was that much interest. If Hud jumps this year, who is top on the list to take over?

Not trolling but yeah we do and it was popular even before Hud when we didn't recruit very well. I thought last year would be Hud's last season but now I wouldn't be surprised if he was here for a while. I also wouldn't be surprised if he left, but it's looking more and more likely that he's comfortable with building here.

Rodney Gillis getting a 6th year is huge. We have a bunch of very good athletes. I think Jevante Watson can be another Melvin White.

I'm excited for some of the incoming corners like Simeon Thomas 6'3 corner and Troy McCollum 6' corner, both from Miami. Hud really liked Corey Trim and Cedrick Tillman when he announced the class, two JUCO corners.

As far as safety, Al Riles is a great athlete, TJ Worthy had some flashes of looking great.

Our QB got hurt. That game like didn't even count. Similar to the bowl game where they made our guys wait like a month to play. Didn't count.

I'm not trolling because I had no reason to believe there was enough interest. Hell, when I was in college most the ULL students cared more about LSU football than ULL.

What about the other four years? I guess they don't count either.

Well then, we will talk about the present. And the present day shows that the Cajuns currently have a 5 year win streak on the Warhawks.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure no current Louisiana Tech player has won a bowl game. Hell we didn't start making bowl games until a couple of years ago and we already have as many wins as Tech. We also have a masterplan that we actually have raised money for, unlike Tech's plan. As far as recruits that have made it to campus, I think we're doing just fine.

Hey wizard 'O smart, you can have your sh!tty bowl wins but be sure to let me know when the ULL flaming peppers break the Top 25 in football & basketball...in the same year.

And you got two NIT games out of it compared to our "shitty" bowl game.

"Shitty" bowl game > any NIT game

Congrats on breaking Top 25 in football last season...then staying home because you didn't want to play Monroe in a bowl game. Worked out well, didn't it?

Meanwhile, I've noticed rumblings on your team board about yall wanting to get out of the scheduled home and home with us.

Hopefully not, I think it would be a great series & good times. However, if Tech has a chance to play Auburn, North Carolina, Arkansas, etc in the place of UL- Laf & Louisiana, they'll take the big game.
