    LaTech Doug "Tank" Landry R.I.P.



    Former Tech great linebacker Tank Landry has died from a massive heart attack suffered over the weekend.

    All-American in 1984 & 1985, Tank played in the CFL several years.

    Second all-time tackler at Tech.

    His St. Aug team had just celebrated a 30-year reunion.

    One game, at North Texas, illustrated to me the awesomeness of Tank. He was the comeback in a comeback win vs. the Mean Green when Tech was down by a couple of scores.

    He was to me like Kenneth Dixon is to my boys. The first name I remember associated with Louisiana Tech. I even had a bulldog named Tank.

    He had Jerry Rice "hearing footsteps" before the snap.

    Yep. THAT was Tank Landry.

    The first four plays are from the N.Texas game I wrote of above.

    Thanks for that link. He was a ball hawk. Gave QBs and RBs Hell as well as intercepting a lot of passes!!!

    ^^THIS!!

    Very sorry to hear about this. For you youngsters out there, Tank Landry was a vicious hitter. IMO, he would certainly be on LA Tech's All-Time 1st Team Defense. Yes, he was THAT good.

    My condolences to his family.
