    Yep, new leadership, but really it's the ones who aren't there now we don't miss.

    Looks like we are finally picking the best athletes who played at Tech without placing a token or two in the class every year.

    All very deserving, and we still have a long waiting list.

    For those of you who were promoting Eagles, would y'all please explain why Eagles before Russo? As someone who wasn't around back then, it looks to me like Russo had the better resume and should've gone in before Eagles.

    Maybe because Tommy Joe was an asst. under Russo before becoming HC, so maybe he was at Tech longer. Wasn't he also a player? I don't remember and am too lazy to look it up. It does seem like the same day the Lady Techsters lost to Auburn in a NC game, Auburn hired Tommy Joe as their men's HC. Is that correct?

    I assume because TJ Eagles was part of the Tech family. As you know he also played and graduated form Tech. Can''t believe it's been 23 years.

    IMO, this is LA Tech's best "HOF class" to date. Of course there are some deserving people that were left off this list, but they'll surely make it in the future.

    I'm really glad to see Denny Duron finally get in. IMO, Denny Duron is the most under-rated player in LA Tech history. We hear a lot of noise about Terry Bradshaw (and rightfully so) and other former Tech QB's, but we seldom hear much about Duron's feats. But the fact is, Duron accomplished much more at LA Tech than Bradshaw did. Duron led our 1973 Bulldog team to a 12-0 record, and the 1973 team to a 12-1 record. Both teams won NC's.

    Back in 2013, both Duron (1972 & 73) and his predecessor Ken Lantrip (1970 & 71) were named as QB's to the Southland Conferences' All-Decade team. That team included 19 Tech athletes from the 1970's.
