Chuck, my apologies for the hijackin'.


I would like to make a comment or two.


"With all the talent TT had last year and ya'll still couldn't get it done in your conferance play, then a SEC school drummed ya'll in the bowl game."

Tech played in the toughest conference in college football last year. Their only loss was at Oklahoma. They beat Texas, a team that should have played for the national title. Let's not forget....that same "SEC school" "drummed" LSU in Tiger Stadium.

"We lost our QB last year and we struggled, lost some close ones to some top ranked teams and got drummed by two national contenders"

I'm assumin' you're talkin' about Perrilloux? Don't make it sound like he got hurt in pre-season or something like that. He was a head case...plain and simple. Even with the indecision at quarterback, LSU was ranked #7 in the polls after the first game of the season. They lost to unranked Arkansas, lost at home to Alabama, and got drilled by UGA, Florida and Old Piss. Where are the close losses to some top-ranked teams and who is the other national contender? I pray it ain't Bammer.



"This year with jefferson and 5 star all world, russell sheppard, who we stole from TEXAS"

Yeah, five-star high school All-World, Russell Shepard. Let's not forget what a phenom Perrilloux was coming out of high school. Mack Brown is certainly glad that LSU stole him from Texas.

"we should be right back in the mix of the Mythical National Championship (BCS)!"

Chad, this almost sounds like something "W" would post. I'll admit that, by LSU standards, last year was bad. Fact is, though...they were supposed to be good! It would have been interesting to see how Tech's offense would have done against the 98th ranked pass defense in the country.
