    I love this statement.
    . "My first function was the LSU recruiting bash [in February], where we announced the players we signed," said Williams. "There were over 5,000 people there. I'd never had anything like that in the Big Ten. I'd never even heard of anything like that."

    Fanaticism isn't the only difference in the South. "The food is awesome," Williams said of Louisiana's famed Cajun cuisine.
     
  2. That was a cool article, kinda makes you wonder why he was fired from the pros. I know he has to be a good assistant though because Nick has been real excited about him coming in. Probably (hopefully) a very good hire.

    It's a very nice article. Bobby Williams must be please with the receivers corp. Florida offense also looks very good.

    Thanks.

    Met him at the Bash

    ... in the chow line ... he looked like a kid in a candy store.

    He looked genuinely excited to be an LSU Tiger. NFL experience doesn't hurt one damn bit in recruiting.

    There's a list of wide receivers who Bobby Williams coached and were drafted in the NFL. I'm glad we have him on our side now!

    Though junior Skyler Green is the Tigers' only experienced returning receiver, sophomores Dwayne Bowe and Craig Davis were among the most sought-after recruits in the country at their position and have shown such abilities in spring practices. Redshirt freshman Amp Hill, who is still recovering from knee surgery, and incoming freshmen Early Doucet and Xavier Carter are similarly talented.

    Who do you think will start next to Green..
