Yea I know inside I was like a little fanboy but I didn't want to act like the crazy LSU fan that I am.
Like I said I did most of the talking but gosh I too would have loved to just ask him tons of questions about everything.

My son said I shoulda asked him over for dinner...I told him no with that new contract he just signed he could take us to dinner

Reaching in my memory bank to figure out if I knew any LSU fans growing up.. Assuming you live in Madison since you referred to James Clemens as JC...

It's a great place to live when you're older. I'm pretty young so I had to get the hell out of there.

He wasnt leaving LSU for a lateral move at Texas. His wife is engulfed in the UClub wives club and his kids are very entrenched in their schools.

Yea I agree with you that he wasn't leaving that's why he really laughed out loud about the fans melting over the rumors and the signing delay.

Drawing up formations on a plane is why he's worth every penny

I've been in HSV for about 8 years now. Grew up in Hammond. It's good to know there are some other good people around!

Also. Cool story.
Would love to land Ignont. If only for the fact that I know my girlfriend shuns Alabama only because she knows I love LSU. She went to Buckhorn and we would certainly be on the same page when rooting for him to do well.

So, you see.. My relationship depends on Aranda.

I would pay to be in a room with this guy and be able to pick his brain. As someone who's graduating next December and going into coaching, that would be quite the opportunity!


JSnipe13, good luck to you in your endeavor! I'm jelly....was always a dream of mine, but ended up going for the money instead of what I really wanted to do. I regret it every day!!

He busted out laughing and said there was never a doubt that he was saying.

Met his wife at a tailgate. They seem very happy to be here and have good circle of local friends(way classier than me. )
glad he's getting after it!

Thanks man! Was in school to be a Psychiatrist initially, then said screw it, this is where my passion lies. My grandfather was a very successful high school coach and was inducted into the Arkansas hall of fame for HS coaches this past year. Just following in the family business now! Have some great connections through him, so why not use them and be able to go to work and enjoy what I do everyday!
