Great e-mail. We've come so far from the days of having so many thug-like guys in our program (like purse-snatching in the Quad).
You didn't really believe the Larry Foster purse snatching story did you? A bunch of regular students chased and caught one of the fastesplayers on the football team? Maybe that's why DiNardo started losing so many games. He should have recruited some of those students.:lsup:
Yeah, it's a great story. I saw a video about it on the Advocate's website this morning. Here's the link: http://www.2theadvocate.com/stories/111705/vid_players.shtml I don't know if that will work, but if not just go to www.2theadvocate.com and scroll down to the sports section on the right.
"The word" is that their was a photograph that "incriminated" Larry in the purse and thats why he snatched it. But you are correct, the character of our football players has improved.
Although it would be nice to ge some positive media attention, that was a selfless act and shows a true sign of class. The organization didn't need to call the major news/sports media to get the story uncovered or brought to light. I am very proud of our men to carry themselves the way they do. Pure Class as opposed to having a guy like Maurice Clarret who put a black eye on Ohio State Football..... LSU! :geauxtige :lsup:
Lindell White pretends to kill himself and it is all over the news, but this gets no attention... Kind of makes you wonder about things huh?
They would probably rather show Lindell White kill himself than Babe Ruth call his shot for a kid dying in the hospital!:bncry: Really shows you how corrupt and misleading the media is but hey that is nothing new!
