Really hate to be negative after such a great atmosphere and win, but was anybody else embarrassed for Eric Mouton and Byron Starks when they were left out of the introduction for the 1990 class??!!?

Two fierce rivals in the Southland Conference squared off in Blackham Coliseum, featuring La. Tech star Mike Green leading the Bulldogs against Bo Lamar and the Cajuns. In those days, the fire marshall looked the other way as fans overflowed the arena, and it was no different with conference honors at stake.

I knew something like that might happen the way he was jumping from era to era and back again.

I was thinking call roll so by era so I know where to look for the player.

At first I knew some had been skipped but then I thougt he went back to correct his mistake. I feel for Eric and Byron, and I'm sure others.

It was great though.

The Fire Marshall is so strict these days UL can't even use the traditional cannon after touchdowns. And that is outside.

If the Fire Marshall had been this strict in the 60's and 70's the big memory today would be how no one could get a ticket back then.

It was great honor to be a part of the reunion an remembered, not being a player or coach. Those who were there from the Winkler-lamar era know what i did and appreciated. Others players showed their respect for my loyality and assistance.

What a great class of of former players and coaches. I can't name everyone one, but the interesting conversations with Dean Church, Coach Hatfield and Charles English wiere some of the highlights not to say the remembering and swapping stories with Coach Cox, PT, Denny, Hank & Steve from the era. Can't forget the talks with Jay and meeting Parrot.

Will not get into the new Shipley documentary, but that is going to be the ultimate when wen finished, thak you for your efforts guys.

Lastly, to all my friends that I got a chance to meet and talk to, thank you: T-Joe, Liz landry, Ed Pratt, Ed Dugas, Dan hare, Coach (Blanco), Zap, David Walker, Maj. Robinson, Troy and of course, meeting and talking with Scott Farmer and one of my earliest friends from U(S)L, Gerald Landry.

Was a strong team to support and/or make UL into one of the better Universities today and one of the top in the future.
