Tracking the Preaux Career of Ike Taylor

[MetryCajun]

_ I hate to bust your bubble my good friend. Look at the RCAF doners list. Ole Swaggin has yet to give us one dime! _

Is this the criteria now for former players? Does Michael Adams belong to RCAF? With only 500+ members I would think we have several former players who are not giving. What about our super rich players like Delhomme and Stokley? I bet if I put my yearly income against Jake Delhomme's and then compared donations levels, I would blow him away. Should he be in our crosshairs?

Lets drop this subject. Nothing good will come from it. We have a rich history of producing quality NFL players. Some give back to their alma matter, some don't. That is the case with almost all universities.

Mr Metry,

I agree and disagree with some of your statement. Comparing you and I to Ole Swaggin, Jake or Brandon are two different animals. You and I love our University and want us to get better as time goes. We put money in the RCAF as one of the means to get the results we all desire.

Jake and Brandon has donated under an assumed names. Ole Swaggin, who is always on national TV owes his very career to both Coach Bartel and Coach Bustle. For a long time he did not return any phone calls to either. You mean to tell me that a man that makes millions can not afford $1000 to the school who got him to where he is? I do not buy it.

I do agree that dropping the subject is a good thing.

How do you access this donor list? It's available to the public? Or do I need to sign in some wheres?

Lafitte is like the song in the old Rock and Roll era. "I'm In With The In Crowd".

I want to thank all the players who played for the Vermilion and White. Every player gave as much as they got. Some do not feel the need to do any more than play, and Ike played very well for the Cajuns.

Still if they have the means, perhaps they should recall how they would have liked a few more things the NCAA allowed when they played. Perhaps a few dollars from them will help future players. It is up to them IMO.

Why donate under assumed names? You don't want people to know how much or how little you give? Why stop at Jake and Brandon? What about other sport athletes? Ron Guidry? Brian Mitchell? Andrew Toney? Do they all give under assumed names?


If you don't like someone for one reason or another thats fine.. but make sure you judge everyone by that criteria. I'm always happy when a UL player makes it in the pros. Whether or not he says what university he went to on his promos.. I don't care. Ever notice more times than not the announcers discuss that he comes from Louisiana whenever he does his intro?

I think barring injuries--you get a lot more out of it then you put in---Just think time wise----I played 4 years and coached about 5 or 6 at UL---Can't tell ya'll how much having played and coached helped me in business through the years!!! All exes should be contributors!!!!! Btw my injuries kept me out of Nam---God bless the guys that went in my place and gave the ultimate sacrifice!!!

Thomas, who also is the league's official biographer and authors the NFL Draft Report, introduced Taylor to scouts coming out of Louisiana. Thomas' studies of every team and his assessment of Taylor's game and its relation to the Steelers tells ...

Ike Taylor in last nights game against the packers said Swaggin U when they were introducing the defense and where they went to college. Does anyone know the story to why he says instead of University of Louisiana?
