Tracking the Preaux Career of Ike Taylor

[Boomer]

I once talked to a young black high school coach who played at UL under Baldwin--he was very upset at the coach being fired ---maybe this is part of his disrespect for UL!!! I know many who left the UL family over Coach Faulkinberry's firing!!!! Same I think for Stokley!!!!

Get off Ivan's back he started college at USL and played ball under Baldwin who was hired and fired by Doctor Raymond Authement. SWAGGIN means SouthWestern athletics gone get its Negro.

I love a good acronym but this isn't one.

Having said that I think many are taking this swaggin thing way to serious.

I guess everyone has bought into the No Fun League philosophy.

_ Well, you have to ask a question here? How much did the university do to help him get there? Did the university really make an effort to honor him after he one the first Super Bowl? Is there even a picture of Ike anywhere around the complex? Other than Brian Mitchell, is there any other player that helped a team win the big one? The same for Tillman? Was not he the highest drafted player from UL? Yes, I know that there are posters on the home side of the stadium, but that may be seen only five times a year? Maybe these guys have a chip on their shoulder toward UL's PR Dept.? We have to do better! _

What? I don't "have to ask a question here?" Do you have any idea how many posters of great alumni we would have to put up? What a joke. "Ike ain't gettin his props from UL and all of us little folk who feed off of his NFL career?" Poor freaking Ike. I'll give you a word of advice. No matter where you go and how well you do... be humble... or don't... and get what you get. Ike has decided that we are not worthy of being "his" fan. That is the definition of "Swaggin".

UL has produced far finer people than "Ike Taylor". If he doesn't choose to think about the rest of us and who and what we do well... I, for one, don't give one piece of crap about Ike Taylor. And I also don't give a crap about people who defend him.

Good luck Ike. I hope you do well. Sorry you don't see fit to stick with us. "Those who did nothing for you". I must have missed that part of the paperwork when I enrolled... "do something for Ike Taylor while he's here." What a joke.

Maybe he should change form "Swaggin" to "Smolderin" after Fitzgerald burned and abused him.

The university allowed him to play at their school and gain the foundation he needed in the NFL. Last time I checked he was a football player not a golf professional. Football is a TEAM sport...no one does it alone...each player dependent upon the success of the other. I am sure he could care less what anyone on these boards thinks...after all he is soooo above us all. What goes around comes around and his less then stellar performance in the Super Bowl proves it. Exactly why does he need to be "honored". It's called humility and pride in ones own accomplishments. He is a complete embarrassment to this university.

Humility is in short supply these days. Ike is an average NFL player with an above average ego. I predict he will crash and burn soon enough. Heck even Steeler fans don't care for his attitude. He is someone we shouldn't honor. He can say he is from the university of Mars as far as I care.
