Saw him at the bulldog a few weeks ago. All football aspirations seem to have been exhausted by the eye test.

Good luck to him

Yea saw him Saturday. He had a line of kids waiting to take a picture with him. He would flex and let them hang off of his arms. Seems like a good guy.

Big Herm had the best -hair -getting -off- the-team- bus in LSU football history.
I respected and feared that righteous doo'.
