Belle News: In the late 1960s in Ruston, Louisiana, two Bulldog quarterbacks’ life paths diverged sharply.

Since we record them and watch them later, not quite sure when it originally aired, but watching last night he mentioned that he went to Tech and played with Bradshaw. It was the episode about them getting locked out of their truck and Jase having to sign for a package at the warehouse.
Like I said last year. This story will continue to have legs. The problem is every writer presented with the facts since then feels obligated to write about it thinking they have something new on the information highway . . . . Not!
The main reason I refuse to watch the show.Quote:
He spoke fondly of Terry Bradshaw and of his time with the Bulldogs, though he’s never been back since giving up football.

Until the show, the only place he had been besides the duck blind was Church and that's not much of an exaggeration. I know a lot of Tech grads who never go back to Tech. Different ones have different reasons for not coming back. Every Tech grad is not passionate about Tech Athletics.Quote:

Hey, that might not be so bad considering all I heard about this year's speaker. Might be entertaining at least and certainly different. :icon_wink:
He was at one of the home games last year. Was introduced at half-time of the game.Quote:

Interesting tidbit from mass this morning. We had a guest priest who is a missionary in haiti. He held a "gala" to raise money for the mission. They auctioned off two benelli shotguns signed by the duck dynasty crew. The guns were donated by a physician and sold for $7200 each. Just another example of the good things that come from the Robertson's and their show.
Only reality show folks I've seen at Tech are the Sons of Guns last year, and Billy the Exterminator the year before.Quote:
