My only regret about his famous Auburn game catch is that I was watching with friends at their house and I couldn’t watch the final play so I held my head down and just listened to the tv. What I heard next was beautiful.

Years and years ago, circa 2010 i saw him in a coffee shop and said “hows it going d byrd?”.

He looked at me like he wanted to punch me in the face. It was super awkward. All i could think is he doesnt like being called d byrd…. But thats what everyone called him right?

Cant generalize from that one encounter but he certainly seemed to have a little rage in him

Hard time for athletes who experience the “glory days” and then lose it.


quote:

To an Athlete Dying Young

By A. E. Housman
The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.

Today, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears.

Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.

So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.

And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl’s.


Coach Burl made us read that poem at Shaw...it's as true now as it ever was.

Not surprising. This was him trying to come back after his accident 14 years ago. Guy could barely move then. Sad story

I was at a party that he was at back in 2007, and he and another couple guys sat on the couch and pulled out a bag of white powder and proceeded to dump a little bit on the coffee table and start to organize it into lines, and that was when I kinda was like - welp, this ain't none of my business, and went mingle with other people there.

no, he's just crazy.


Crazy could be a part of CTE. Who in their right mind commits suicide like some have done?

I know an ex-LSU player that dumped his wife of close to 20 years and allowed an ex-teammate (not LSU) to infiltrate said household, bring in other people of questionable character/criminal backgrounds to ex-LSU's house, Infiltrator appointed another much younger woman as ex-LSU's wife before the divorce happened...

Serious cult like activities.

Ex-LSU is called the Archangel, Infiltrator is called Elohim, and Infiltrator's wife is called Queen of Israel.

Younger men in the household are instructed to discipline others, which includes hitting people, shaving heads and making people sleep in tents in the backyard for disobeying house rules.

"Elohim" had a non legal "wife" that he got pregnant and committed domestic abuse against her, which is a felony in Florida. DA let him off with no serious repercussions since he had no priors. "Elohim" also makes people living in the house that belongs to ex-LSU pay him a tithe of 10% of their income, including ex-LSU who has a business in Tampa.

I met ex-LSU and his Wife #1 @ the 2019 SEC game and have been following (not a member) of this cultlike behavior since.

Infiltrator/"Elohim" has Facebook broadcasts of himself preaching every Sunday and sometimes ex-LSU does some preaching on other days.

Before infiltration by cult members, I stayed at ex-LSU's house one night before a cruise out of Tampa. Wife #1 had already moved out but their 2 youngest kids were at the house the night I was there.

Ex-LSU and I talked about his religious beliefs and he had said that he would like to move to Israel. What is going on now is like the Black Hebrew Israelites where women wear head coverings and ex-LSU has an unkempt beard and long dreadlocks, completely different from when I met him and Wife #1 in Atlanta 2019. Most of the men look similar.

DByrd had a car accident and played football. Ex-LSU played at the minimum, high school, college and pro.

Both DByrd and ex-LSU/"Archangel" are crazy in different ways.

As far as the details of ex-LSU, I hope his family can test his brain for CTE if he passes before they do. I know that the destruction of his first family has hurt his parents, Wife #1 and the 4? kids from that marriage.

You can't make this shite up.

C'mon Demetrius Byrd say it ain't so - the architect of the "Bluegrass Miracle" arrested in Florida for making threats on a bus.

I'm stunned. Dang, I thought he finished a lucrative NFL career and was doing LSU promos. You know parlaying name recognition into a lucrative post-NFL career.

C'mon on Demetrius pull yourself together and accept the support of TigerNation. We want you to succeed dude.

Once a Tiger, always a Tiger.

I met DByrd during the 2019 Natty run. Think I also ran into him on LSU's campus post game.

He was always nice to me.

I am.sad that he is going through whatever he is going through.

Just a friendly correction for the younger fans: Devery Henderson was the guy on that play. Amazing focus! Later became my all-time favorite Saints receiver.

Devery? Really?

All this time I thought it was Jack Hunt.

Well, it is gonna cause the long-term effect of prison now…you can’t allow an unhinged fricker like that to roam freely in society.

Strangely, few people noticed or recalled afterward that when LSU called a timeout in the 4th quarter, the clock operator let the clock run several seconds after the ref signaled timeout. I recall because I looked at my date and complained the clock was still running after the timeout was signaled. The time wasn’t added back by the refs. There should have been several more seconds on the clock, but for the clock operator’s slow response earlier in the 4th quarter. But had he stopped the clock when he should have, the ending would not have been nearly as legendary.

Yep,I stand corrected. It's not the first time I got these two confused. But then I feel secure knowing that TigerNation is there to catch my gaffs.

You don't step on Superman's Cape, you don't spit into the wind.......and you DO NOT get the names of LSU players confused. My sincerest apology to both great LSU Athletes.

Geaux Tigahs!

Get help, brother. No shame in it. We’ve all got demons. Confront them. Deal with them. You’ve got Tiger Nation behind you.
