I don't know what Tech is paying Daniel Dupuy in your 3rd pic, but we are getting our money's worth from him. That guy is constantly tweeting pics with new LA Tech students from the DFW metroplex.Quote:

I was talking with him the other day and last year we pulled in 64 kids from DFW and I bet that was the biggest in a long time if ever. He also has been working the area hard and just finished a big push. A young lady in the graphics design class across from my courtroom just got her acceptance letter and scholarship offer from us this past weekend. She knew my wife and I are alumni so she waited to open her letter in front of me, instead of her parents. She is pumped for next fall and is going biomed.
I am also going to start a small scholarship through the local education foundation in Frisco. We had 8 FISD students go to Tech last year and that number needs to increase and any extra incentives $$ to get the top kids headed to Ruston is worth it.
Daniel earns his pay but he is so worth it.
I wonder if this is the guy that came to my school and was putting on an LSU jacket as he was leaving. One of my students said to him "I didn't know LSU was here today" and embarrassingly he told her he was from Louisiana Tech.Quote:

No not him. Strange story to inject into a positive discussion. How long ago did this incident take place?Quote:

Correct. As Dogswin pointed out initially, his work in the Metroplex has done wonders for Tech.Quote:

This actually happened last year. I didn't mean to interject anything negative. I have been meaning to try and find out who that was to let someone know.Quote:

THANK YOU, Daniel.
That's why going to the Heart of Dallas Bowl wouldn't hurt my feelings . . . or do nothing but enhance the job Daniel's doing in the Metroplex.Quote:
