re: What do you guys make of Blue going in before Ford?

I know you can't live off what a kid did in high school, but for pete's sake, the kid broke all of Cecil Collins' rushing records and we all know what Cecil could have accomplished had he stayed out of trouble

The reason I have been so anticipating Ford at LSU is that a coach who coached both Cecil and Michael, told me that Ford was a better athlete than Collins - and that was when Ford was a sophomore. I followed Ford very close since then and he NEVER disappointed.

Three years ago, Leesville (4A) scheduled West Monroe (perinniel 5A powerhouse) for a game in West Monroe.

We almost won that game - again pretty much all Ford by himself. WM was keying on him every play and he still broke tackles and dragged them towards the goal line. He must have carried the ball thirty times in that game.

The kid is a gamer - unless something has taken it out of him since he came to LSU.

That would indeed be sad. I want the kid to play - somewhere.
