A Shout Out to Luke O !!

September 15th 2011 01:39




Congradulations Luke! This congradulations goes out to one of the students in my Drafting and Construction class. I have had the good fortune to have Luke in my class for the last two years. This past Friday I presented him with a challenge. I showed him some of the blogs that I have posted and told him if he would score a touchdown that I would write a post in my blog about his accomplishment. Well knowing Luke the way that I do it doesn't surprise me at all that I am sitting here now writing this blog. You see he held up his end of the bargain and now it is my turn. Luke O Cummings is a fine dedicated defensive back for The Pearl River High School Rebels located in Pearl River, Louisiana. He is now playing his senior year serving as a captain of this football team. He has had a chance to run a few plays at running back for the offense this year. He doesn't run a lot of plays at running back but when he does he makes the best of it in the last three games that he played he has had a total of18 carries for a total of 153 yards with 2 TD's the last one coming this past Friday when he said it was going to happen. When he is not running the ball on offense he well makes his way around on the defensive side of the ball. His plans are to attend a junior college and continue with his football endeavors. Luke is a leader on the field as well as off the field in the classroom. He is currently in my drafting and construction class. I need to remind him that Andrew Luck qb for Stanford decided to return and finish his senior year and graduate with an architecture degree. Good Luck in the future Luck! Hopefully the rest of the guys will follow your lead!

July 22nd 2011 15:31



We as NCAA football fans know how exciting college football is every year. Being a huge LSU fan I know how competetive SEC football is. SEC football makes for a very exciting saturday. According to the Associated Press their pick to win the SEC crown is Alabama. Of course being a huge LSU fan I say what does the AP know about SEC football. Of course Nick Saban will have his Crimson tide prepared for the challenge but let's go Les and show the AP who the SEC champion really is.The media picked the Crimson Tide to beat South Carolina in the SEC championship game

Sports Issues Continue To Rise

April 7th 2011 01:10

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the readers that have supported me in the past. I have been away dealing with some issues that are now taken care of. There has been a lot that has gone on in the sports since I have last written my last blog. Everything from the Super bowl to the NCAA Final Four to the beginning of baseball season. I thought Super bowl 45 was an exciting game and really liked the Packers coming out on top. The NCAA March madness tournament was full of unexpected surprises. The opening day of baseball season opened up a lot of talk and discussion. One of the biggest issues that were being thrown around was the Barry Bonds trial. The question one might ask is “who is actually not on performance enhancers?” We teach our children to lookup to certain role models in our lives. If we really new the whole truth would we still want our children to lookup to these certain role models? Another issue that is really hot now is the NFL talks. I really do not understand the whole situation but I do be glad when they work out the issues so we will have NFL football this season. As you can see there are tons of sports news that is out there to be discussed. Please join me in my future blog so we can take a good opened minded look at these issues! Geaux Tigers! Who Dat! Go Astros!

Les Miles to stay at LSU!

January 12th 2011 00:03

Being a huge LSU fan from Louisiana and loving SEC football I truley had mixed feeling about Les Miles as head coach of LSU. After winning the 2003 BCS Championship and watching Nick Saban leave for the NFL left a bitter taste in my mouth. The taste never left until LSU won the BCS Championship again in 2007. I was a huge Miles critic because I was really convinced that Miles won the championship with Saban's recruits. It still took me a couple of years for Miles to prove to me that he was the man at LSU. The question that I asked myself the most did the nickname Madhatter really fit him or was that his style. After coaching at LSU for six years The numbers were there and were better than I expected. With a record of 62-17 after six years that was one stat that really opened my eyes. Not a bad average of 10 games per year. Miles is also 5-1 in bowl games in which 1 was a BCS Championship against Ohio State. A win in the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame. Two wins at the Chic-Fil-A against Miami and Georgia Tech and this year with a win in the Cotton Bowl this year with a 41-24 win over Texas A&M with his only bowl loss coming at the Capitol One Bowl last year against Penn State. Miles also has a SEC title to add to his resume. Miles’ current LSU contract pays him $3.75 million per year, runs through 2014 and includes an annual one-year roll-over at the discretion of the athletic director that could extend the deal to 2015. The contract also would make him among the three highest paid college coaches should he win a second national title at LSU. With a huge recruiting class coming up in the future at LSU begining naext year I beleive that Les Miles mad the right choice to stay at LSU rather that rebuilding a program at Michigan. Les Miles has gained my respect as coach at LSU but then again who am I ? Good luck LES and GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!
twine tastes so good cats ask for it by name

Great College football on 12/30

December 31st 2010 13:43

After all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas Holiday I finally got to sit down unwind and watch some bowl games on Thursday. I thought they were very entertaining and stood for what NCAA football is all about. Just like any other saturday in the NCAA there were surprises and controversy. In the Armed Forces Bowl secon year coach Rich Ellerson Led Army to their first winning season since 1996 with a 16-14 win over SMU. Josh McNary scooped up a fumble and returned it for 55 yards for a touchdown to help seal the victory for the Black Knights. The first Pinstripe Bowl which was played between Syracuse and Kansas State was a very exciting sluggfest. RB Delone Carter rushed for a carrer high 198 yards and 2 TD's for Syracuse. Daniel Thomas rushed for TD's for Kansas St. In the end Syracuse came out on top 36-34 but not after some controversy. Adrian Hilburn slipped a tackle and raced to a 30-yard touchdown catch with 1:13 remaining to pull Kansas State within two. Hilburn saluted the crowd behind the visitor’s dugout and was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct, which pushed the 2-point conversion attempt back to the 17-yard line. After the failed attempt Syracuse went own to victory. Excessive celebration REALLY! North Caroline deafeted Tennessee in the Music City Bowl 30-27 in double ot in a wild finish. The game was first called over after mass confusion on the field with NC trying to spike the ball with time running out in regulation. The refs called the game over and Tenn. begin their celebration. In a wild turn of events their was a penalty flag on the field. NC was called with too many men on the field and pentalized. This give NC a shot at the field goal which was good and tied the game sending it to overtime. The refs had claimed that their was one second left on the clock. NC went on to win in ot. The same thing happened to Tenn. earlier in the year at LSU which give LSU a shot at the winning td with no time on the clock. Wow what luck! Finally the last game of the evening was the Holiday Bowl where Washington defeated Nebraska. Jake Locker bounced back from an injury he said looked worse than it was, scoring on a 25-yard run in the third quarter to help Washington to a 19-7 victory No. 17 Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl on Thursday night. This was a great day of NCAA footbal that only led me to rest up so I can watch the rest of the bowl season games!

Cam Newton AP player of the year

December 23rd 2010 16:26

Cogatulations to Cam Newton. After everything this young man has been through he has acomplished a great deal this year. After winning the Heisman, Davey Obrien, and Maxwell Awards cam will add another to his awsome resume. He was voted AP Player of The Year. He recived 51 votes from 60 member AP football panel. Look for him in the BCS Championship game against Oregon on Jan. 10 2011. At 6' 6" and 250 pounds he is a big threat weather he passes or runs the ball. This promises to be an exciting game with lots of action. If you love college football this will be the game to see. Good luck Cam and bring the BCS Championship back to the SEC again! Go Auburn!

Boise over Utah in MAACO Bowl.

December 23rd 2010 16:15

When this game first started I didn't know if it was bowl game jitters or if Boise was still thinking abiut the loss to Nevada that took them out of the BCS race. they really stared out flat with to turnovers that Utah could not capitalize on that could have changed the game drasically in their favor. After all was said and done tenth Boise finally put it together they pulled out a 26-3 win over twentieth rankes Utah. Kellen Moore ended up 28-38 for 339 yards with 2 TD's and 1 INT Doug martin helped in the cause with a 84 yard run up the middle. Boise finished up their second season with only 1 loss. I was really looking for them to put up more points than they did just to end their year with a statement. They were 16 point favorite coming in to this game and covered. If they hadn't started with such a sluggish start it would probably would have been by a bigger margin. Look for this slow start in a lot of bowl games because some of these teams are off almost a month before thay play. Aurburn and Oregon are off almost 6 weeks before they play the BCS championship game. I am sure that this layoff effects teams in the longrun.

Jet's coach tripping Miami player

December 14th 2010 11:33

There were a lot of bazzar things that went on in week 14 but none as freaky as the one that I wittnessed myself. Jet's strenght coach Sal Alosi pulled one of the biggest bonehead moves that I have seen in a long, long time. He tripped Miami cornerback Nolan Carroll as he was comlng down the sideline. You can clearly se on the pictures and videos that this was a blatant move on Alosi's part. He had his hands in his pockets but you can clearly see that he moved his knee to make contact with Caroll. This is not the example we want our kids to see on the sidelines. At a Monday news conference Alosi appologized in a statement from Jets headquarters. He appologized to Coach Tony Sporano and Jet's owner Woody Johnson. This didn't matter much because the NFL did what it should have done and suspended Sal Alosi. theNFL also fined him $25,000 which is as far as I am conscerned is a light punishment. The NFL is trying their best to keep players from injuring one another when they started fining player for the hits that have been made. Do they have to keep an eye on the coaches now? Give this coach a huge ass hat to sit on his head!!!!!

Brett Favre's streak ends at 297!

December 13th 2010 23:42

Brett Favre has been declared inactive for tonights game against the Giants ending hie consecutive starting streak at 297. With a record of 5-7 it was to risky for Brett to try to start tonights game. Could we have seen him play his last game? With only three games left and a record of 5-7 the brett Favre era could be over. I am pretty sure that he will retire after this season is over with. Living close to his Hattisburg, Miss. home Ibecame a Farve fan when he was QB at Southern Mississippi. He has been a strong competetor for years. He has always been a joy to watch. His never quit attitude brught a special toch to every game he played. With the rewarding career that he had I would have loved him to finish this year strong. I really hate to see him go out on a dissapointing losing season but everything has an ending. Every era must come to an end just like the Marino, Montanna,Bradshaw and many other great QB's over the years. One thing that Favre will always be remebered for is the fact that he was not scared to take chances Both physically and mentally. I would like to take this opportunity to congatulate Brett Favre on an unbeilivable run. Passing for 507 touchdowns and passing for miles about 44 to be exact, it is not going to be the same if you are a Farve fan. I hope that before this season ends that his shoulder will heal up enough for Favre to make his final curtain call. As a football fan I am going to miss #4 walking out on the field. Once again congratuletions on an unbeilivable and incredible run in the NFL!
