The Book 2008 Football

[NewsCopy]

  The smack-talk leading up to Saturday's Sun Belt football game between UL and ULM first started this past summer.

UL's Louis Lee and ULM's Radi Jabour - former prep teammates at East St. John - stood on opposite ends of the spectrum in their predictions.

"It was just some simple talk about when we were going to play them," said Lee, a junior wide receiver. "I guess I'm going to call him again later this week."

Mr Harmon picks against us this week.

Louisiana-Monroe 31 LOUISIANA 28

To me Des is the best all around player since Tommy Casanova. Is there position he can't play. Lets see, QB, WR, RB, Defensive Back, Defensive Corner Back, Special Teams, he probably and kick off and punt. He is a gift and I LIKE HIM AS A PLAYER and PERSON.

He is a STUD. I didn't see Casanova. I put him only behind Brian Mitchell

Casanova was a defensive back for LSU in the early 70's.

z, didn't Harmon call all three losses as well as the one win?

Maybe Z is referring to the spread?

This young man is a leader. Notice I did not use the word "kid". I hate that description of college atheletes. They are young men and Des exemplifies the maturity expected of college atheletes. I too like him as a player and person!!

Would love to see this guy running the navy/gt offense... the zoneread spread is way too popular... worked much better when it was a novelty...

With this team putting up over 1100 yards the past two games on decent competition, I'd say it works pretty damn well!! Plus, the options schemes those schools run are much more dated than the zone read.
