Excited about an up and coming coach and true QB developer from USM taking over the reigns of our program.

they just insulted when the other guy couldn't hear. Today you can still coordinate an arse whipping via the net just like coordinating anything else

No, I don’t think so. I was around then, as you may have guessed. The level of recruiting today is light years ahead of what it was like, in those days. So no- I wouldn’t come close to making a comparison to the program today. But that’s just me.

As a player in that era, I thought about writing a book. I've got some crazy stories. How would that go over?

if your generation had all of those things, they likely would have behaved just the same as today's generation.

All you need to do is find a Buddy Songy or Jimmy Ott show recording.

The quality of skill position players we have now is insane compared to the 90s including the Dinardo era. We didn't have superstar wide receivers and running backs going pro at the rate we do now.

Back then schools like Florida State, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Miami etc could come into LA and pick whatever skill guys they wanted and leave LSU with scraps.
