Hopefully, we will have a great quarterback!!
WE are....
So where is QB Caleb Holstein from our 2020 class? Do not see him listed on any roster. Don't know if he would be a factor in the QB competition, but curious why he isn't listed when QB JD Head from same class is listed. I would think the starting job is still somewhat open. Well, you know.....Quote:

"I'll be reporting a quarter late, which will allow me to count towards next year's recruiting class," Holstein said. "The Tech coaches liked my abilities. We had discussed that since the beginning of my recruitment.

Does anyone but me remember sitting on the wooden bleachers and watching Tech football when Phil Robertson was quarterback??
I can't say that I remember that. But I do recall the gentleman from his Duck Dynasty show. :laugh:Quote:

A group of us who had met at orientation that summer agreed to meet at the game. I had a girl with me, a young lady from Plain Dealing, we found our group of friends standing about halfway down the lower section...right on the south 40, east side. I have been watching Tech games from that general area ever since...except for two years when I had season tix and perched on the west side. I prefer the east side. Anyway, we missed a chippy FG and lost that game 15-13. Fortunately, the Dawgs turned it around, including the epic win in the Snow Bowl over USM 23-22 to finish 6-5.
Seems like yesterday...only 44 years ago!
Wanna know what grade I was in?Quote:

So, do any of you remember how the Tonk got its name?????
Before my time. My oldest sister graduated in '42 and it was "The Tonk" then. Another hang out (not on campus) was the Kennel.
Tell us 70TECHGRAD, was this before or after the invention of fire?Quote:

N '44 while in the 9th grade, RHS (F,S,J &,S) classes had a "field trip" to Camp Ruston. We toured the compounds and saw the treasures that the POW's
created;;; ex. violin made from wooden match sticks, castle made from rocks (I think it is still in around some where) very creative men and friendly.
We had lunch there. In PM RHS football team had a scrimmages for POW's. Then I saw my first scocker game. Still vivid in my memory. What a day!
Will be in Ruston next Saturday to see the Dawgs play in person.
GO DAWGS.....Beat BYU!!

I'm not a fan of the NFL since they started wearing BLM t-shirts and started taking a knee!!!! I don't watch it anymore!!!
Me either. I'm totally done with the NFL, NBA, and MLB. And Nascar car start racing donkeys for all I care. For me, it's only La Tech sports from here on out.Quote:
