I played at Delta. I knew Coach Ray. I think everyone in JPRD knew Coach Ray.

Yeah, but TulaneLSU?

And you had better have been a JP resident if you wanted to play at Bright at night!

So much fun back in the day there.

Friend,

I know he grew up in Mid-City off Canal and went to Warren Easton. Grandfather knew him quite well, having been on an opposing rival basketball team at the New Orleans Athletic Club next to the Hard Rock Hotel's ruins. Grandfather compared that rivalry to the Bulls versus Pistons rivalry of the 80s. It got violent more than a couple of times. Although I never met him, Grandfather described him as a competitive gentleman and master of showmanship. He was a kind hearted man who did all he could to promote friendship and teamwork. A lover of sports and sportsmanship above simply winning, the world would be far greater if more coaches today modeled their style and attitude after his.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

Buddy of mine got caught finger blasting a girl, by Coach Ray, at a Bright sock hop.

Life was so much simpler back then...

Friend,

This thread is more deserving of a sticky than a thread about a little hurricane hitting an area of Texas where perhaps five OT brethren live.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

Tulane, I’m not trying to be a smartass but wouldn’t it be "Mother and me?" I thought you always put yourself last?

Friend,

Grandfather preceded him in Glory. My hope is they are or will soon be reunited at the heavenly banquet where every tear shall be wiped from their eyes, there will be no more death or mourning or pain, and where war is studied nevermore. It is at the great Union that all shall be united in friendship with each other in glorification of and communion with our Father.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

Tu, there are more LSU grads in Houston than NO

You may not give a shite if a hurricane kills them all, but the fact remains they are there
