This was perhaps one of the best games in recent history that we lost. We had a RB quit on us and we still managed to give them hell.

Not sure i remember that story. Refresh my memory.

The Poinsettia bowl was an awesome experience. One of the best teams we have had and held our own against a really good TCU team.

I'm guessing he's saying Lennon Creer quit on us - http://www.latechsports.com/sports/m.../latech13.html

I kinda recall him getting injured or academics.

By quit, I mean Creer and I mean he quit on us by not being a student and it cost us that game. The only RB we had was a walk on freshman by the name of Hunter Lee. He was fantastic that season.

The fact that two of our "best games" were both losses says so much about Tech. :((

We lost because our HC and OC changed the game plan in the second half.

I remember the awesome stuff--San Diego was specTECKular -- first nite dinner I sat with Willie Roaf for awhile-- Spent half a day with team on Battleship-Team luncheon -Battle of the bands downtown. just a ton of fun things

I came into my room and someone left over 2,000$ of I-pads, booze etc-- hotel refused to send up someone to get it. Had to get security to get it-- their had been a big wedding and the must of left it

Remember Myles White catching a long TD pass-- yeah we lost but we did hold our own -- been to many a game that we were embarrassed by Division 1 teams-

still have my pullover from the game--- time for me to bail, headed to Ruston for ULL basketball game

I would say it was one of our best losses but certainly not one of our best games.

Aircraft Carrier. USS Midway. If anyone heads to San Diego, it's a must see and do. Go aboard and marvel at this great ship.

WE played a great first half. Our OC was bored and decided to let a QB who was having a really bad day throw the ball when running had been working well all day.
