_ But Bo was football and baseball; those sports don't cross the same time-line as football and basketball.

I did get to see Bo play for Kansas City against the Red Sox years ago; he was a special athlete. _

They do with spring ball. This is why Desormeaux was not allowed to play BB. Both sports now require year round commitments. It's almost impossible to find coaches that would allow an athlete to play both now.

Me too. In Boston. Bo jacked a couple over the green monster. Very cool.

_ Football and Basketball are not a very good mix.

Charlie Ward and Julius Peppers are about the only guys I remember doing it successfully.

I think Donovan McNabb did it at Syracuse, but he was on the end of the bench. You have to be a pretty special athlete to play both in the same year.

Especially if the Cajuns ever start bowling, it will be tough to get going on the court. _

Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez

Were you at the game when he went horizontal to make a great catch in the outfield?

His coaches in High School and at Auburn wanted him to play...because he was really really good, but Bo didn't like Basketball. He also ran track if I am not mistaken. Think about Bo in college Basketball....think Larry "Granmama" Johnson...but bigger and faster. He would have dominated.

He was also a surfer, jockey, tennis player, hockey player, and cyclist. He had a poster to prove it.
