Chavis to A&M

First, feel for you I too have LSU family (New Orleans and Shreveport).

Believe me when I say I empathize.

 

Not so sure if we compete or win in '99.

 

It was my only complaint about his on the field stuff. Get a 10 point lead and go into ultra conservative mode.

His behind the scenes shenanigans is the main reason I'm glad he's gone. He wouldn't make an effort to recruit, then he would tell other assistants which guys to get for him. If they flopped, he blamed the coaches that recruited them.

 

'99 team had nine players drafted, seven in the first two rounds.

Can any UT class top that?

 

What about the 01 team? They have to be close to that

 

2006 and 2007

 

Ten with three first rounders, but a lot in the later rounds.

 

2001 team had 10 players drafted.

Three 1st rounders, two 3rd rounders, one 4th, one 5th, one 6th and two 7th rounders

 

99 should have competed for a title. That team was loaded.

 

Solidarity, brother.

The perks are when we go visit and my bro in laws family cooks. And I am miserable for days afterward. His FIL can flat out cook some jambalaya.

Amen. And crawfish boils I can eat my body weight (sans the head sucking --- nasty!) or at least 'til I pass out

 

Seven picks in the first 57. Plus Travis Henry and all the young talent from the 2001 team.

 

Somehow I've still not made it to a crawfish boil. I do not know how I've managed this.

 

What??? Oh man, you missin' out. Gotta get on your (creole) family --- next visit

 

Update from football scoop. Looks like TAMU will have their new DC at 12:01 am.

 

Well, their last two drives in regulation seem to support that.

Next to last drive: 10 plays, 80 yards, 4:35 TOP
Last drive in regulation: 9 plays, 70 yards, 1:35 TOP

They converted four 3rd downs on those final 2 drives, too, including one for a TD. And at that point, they had 138 yards of total offense, meaning, more than 50% of their total yardage came in those final 2 drives.

They don't list the OT plays, for some reason, but they hit a 42-yard FG to win it, FWIW.

At closer glance, it looks like Card's memory is entirely accurate, and we had a late-game collapse on D. That's not the whole blame, but it certainly seems to have happened, just as Card explained.

Agreed. True Cajun crawfish boil = hard to beat.

 

Not sure how this data supports me not going to a crawfish boil, but to each their own.

 

We had them hopelessly outmatched and allowed them to execute their offense with virtually no impediment. The fact that we were able to shut them down so completely just makes the end of the game even worse. They had nothing on offense and we gave them ten yards every play.
