A Boy Named Sue

Well... she did have the high ground.

I agree. Texas fans are arrogant, but so are every other teams fans.

For example, have you every talked to a Texas A&M fan or ou fan?

Hope so.... F ou!!!!

This is from a Texas pay sight. Hope I don't get in trouble for this.

Player reviews from my trip to see Lufkin/Cy Ridge

- It goes without saying that Russell Shepard was the most impressive player on the field. In fact, Shepard was as dominant as I've seen a player be in a long time.

In case you missed it. Shepard ran for 323 yards and five touchdowns in Cy Ridge's win, and it looked like he was just toying with the Lufkin defense at times. When Cy Ridge, needed a big conversion, all it had to do was put the ball in Shepard's hands and let him race through the defense to move the chains. Shepard's game in a nutshell - after falling behind 18-7 with just 23 seconds in the half, he shakes free for a 68-yd TD run (and 2 point conversion pass) to cut the lead to three going into halftime. With any other QB, a team takes a knee. With Shepard, you have a chance to score any time from any where.

His top-end speed was simply too much for Lufkin to handle and once he gets into the secondary, you're not going to catch him. He's a fluid runner, but he also has the ability to really stop and start that most guys his size (right at 6-2). Incredible vision too. Just the complete package as a runner. Was talking to some people on the Cy Ridge sideline who coached Thurman Thomas and played against him, and they believe Shepard is every bit in Thomas' league as a runner. Hard to argue after what I saw on Friday night.

Shepard's passing numbers (7-of-15 for 87 yards) won't blow anyone away, but they really don't tell the whole story. He had a couple balls that weren't necessarily between the numbers, but should have been caught. He also had two beautiful throws downfield that were inches away from being complete for TDs. One was broken up at the very last second, the other hit the receiver in the hands and probably should have been caught. Very accurate on those throws and showed nice touch. He didn't work the intermediate routes much, although he did have a nice throw early in between defenders to convert a third and long on which he showed nice arm strength.

Very, very impressive game by Shepard.

Your right CS4Heisman... Daniels is terrible and only puts up stats against bad defenses.

On second thought, didn't he pass for like 400 yards in the Cotton Bowl last year against Arkansas? The same Arkansas team that beat LSU.

Yeah, Chase Daniels sucks. :rolleyes:

Good info. Thanks.

Was Virgina Tech not overrated last year when LSU pleayed them?

All I am saying is that at this time last year LSU looked like one of the best football teams I had ever seen. I think people are having the same reaction to USC victory over Ohio State.

I went through the schedule and picked out what I though are the best upcoming football games for the month of August and September.
