Of course it is, but the implications that you know either way are not. He has done nothing this season to suggest he will be either great or terrible.

Show me where I implied that I know either way or not. I simply asked the question.

The Tiger fan in me wants to say yes, and even more so because I think Shepard is a great guy and a great ambassador for the university, despite the "compliance issues" of this past summer. But we're now roughly halfway through his junior year, and he has yet to really make a mark as a WR. He's definitely got elite speed, but will his size, hands and route running ability turn off some NFL teams? I keep waiting for him to have some dominant games...but will he?

Oregon’s superstars Darron Thomas and LaMichael James both looked skittish in their play, unwilling to attack full bore, perhaps not mentally prepared with it being their first game back home in Texas playing in front of friends and family.

This HAD to be the reason for Oregon's subpar offensive production.

Bump for the post-game perspectives...

I wonder how many of the Oregon folks aren't feeling as addicted to TD today?

The 1983 Orange Bowl against Nebraska. LSU had Dalton Hilliard, Eric Martin, Alan Risher, and Nebraska had Turner Gill, Mike Rozier, and of course Tom Osborne. I was 8, and I cried when LSU lost 21-20. My mom told me there was no shame in losing to Nebraska because they were always good.

Nebraska has been my #2 team ever since...

Born and raised in Vinton, LA...you couldn"t pay me to root against my Tigers.

It's OK to say yes... :cheers:

If this was true, he would have figured out a way to get them past SA by now.

Really? Is he a coach now?

FWIW - Steve Nash vs. the Spurs in the playoffs alltime is 0-6. He failed twice with Dallas, and so far four times with Phoenix.

---

Yes, and obviously Steve Nash...excuse me, Phoenix, had home court in each of those series. In one of the series with Dallas, Dirk was injured, and they lost one series to the Spurs in which the suspensions of Stoudamire and Diaw played at least a small role in deciding Game 6.

San Antonio had the better team in at least 5 of those 6 series, and the better team usually wins in the playoffs. To suggest that the Spurs won those series because Stave Nash sucks on defense is a tad ridiculous. I don't think he's the best point guard in the league anymore, FYI, but your logic is severely flawed.

i grew up with russell h. younger brother. i know russell, but not as well as his younger and older brother.....he is perfect for this game. he was always scheming and trying to get rich by doing nothing and i guess he's made it.


boo b. from last season (i think) and russell were best friends for a long time.

they both lived in vinton, la for a while in their teens and then boo moved to lafayette and russell moved to baytown.

I'm from Vinton and went to high school with all of them. It's weird to see guys you used to laugh at for doing crazy shite in high school doing the same kind of stuff on Survivor.

How is Jeff H, by the way?

Always loved "Tennessee River."

Oh, and :geauxtigers:

LSU offered him some PT at QB, kinda like letting him operate the WildTiger formation

Is this true? I don't keep up with Randle as much as many (read:most) people on here. Interesting if true...

I grew up watching Magic and Bird go at it year after year. You always remember the players you watched as a kid with more awe than the ones who are playing now. Kobe has been the best in the game for at least a few years now (along with LBJ). That being said, I think those stats are kinda eye-opening for those who were too young and never really saw Larry play.
