that is priceless. abram booty and larry 'purse-snatcher' foster...geeze, what a blast from the past.
While attending college in Ohio in 1998, I went to Notre Dame to see LSU lose a close game. Someday, I will be able to tell my starry-eyed grandkids that I saw Gerry DiNardo and Bob Davie match wits.
Just a story of what could have been! That team had quite a bit of talent... but DiNardo never could seem to put it all together It doesn't help that he had a pee-wee football defensive scheme too!
I remember going to the Independence Bowl v. Michigan State and thinking we were finally back to the big time. My how far we've come in 10 years!
This part was classic. I remember eating that hype up with a spoon. I remember telling my brother that Dunson was going to be All SEC that year. And I love this quote, "He must be good or Dinardo wouldn't have wanted him so much and gone so far to get him. " That's really reaching! In light of Saban's recruiting, it's funny to see the spin here. Unfortunately, I bleed P & G, so I'll continue to buy all of the pre-season hype and beleive all of the positive pre-season spin. Oh well, Cest la vie!
we all have our blonde moments when it comes to recruiting... I thought Josh Booty would be the savior lol and Derron Parquet would be an all-american RB
That game is still one of my 10 favorite LSU games to have ever attended. Great games by Kennison and Faulk. I thought the same thing, LSU is on the way up. Didn't quite happen the way I imagined at the time.
