Great interview with Tech great Luke McCown on Fletch's show. Talks about why he chose Louisiana Tech over Okleeehomma and his love for Tech/Ruston and what it meant/means to him. He also comments on current team including that he has been in Ruston throwing with the team and his take on things.

Too busy opening Jimmy John's and raising 6 kids.
I was in New Orleans a while back and was listening to one of the sports talk shows on WWL. The caller said he was through the Garden District and saw a yard full of kids chunking around a football. He looked for a sign to see which daycare it was and then realized it was Luke McCown and Drew Brees' kids having some fun in the front yard,
Did Fletch bring up Tech's back to back wins over Bama with Eli Gold?
Good stuff with Luke. Wow! ya mean he chose little ole Tech over mighty Oklahoma?
Would be nice for Luke to end up on a Super Bowl team. Do the Pats need a back-up QB?
By the way....that's one of the best Player Interviews I've ever heard. Very entertaining.
If Skip Holtz ever needs a recruiting audio to explain to a recruit why he should choose LA Tech over OU --or some other big P5 school-- all he has to do is play this interview. I suspect any high school recruit will be VERY impressed. From the 4:00 min mark to about the 21 minute mark, this interview is all about Luke's college recruiting, why he chose LA Tech, what happened while he was playing at LA Tech, and how he got to the NFL.
Luke sounds like one of the happiest LA Tech alumni on the planet. He looks back very fondly on his days at LA Tech, and why he chose LA Tech over Oklahoma. Luke thinks "Skip Holtz is the perfect guy for that (LA Tech) job". He said he's still a big LA Tech fan, and said he "was in Ruston yesterday, throwing passes to some of LA Tech's receivers."
I encourage EVERYBODY on this board to listen to this audio interview. It's very LA Tech friendly. Tim Fletcher did a good job in the interview too. He actually let Luke talk without interrupting him. You don't see that a lot anymore. Excellent work.
Good stuff from that Luke McCown interview:
Luke said when he was doing his NFL interviews for the draft, someone asked him if he chose LA Tech because he was afraid of the competition?
Luke's response: "Afraid of the competition? We're a small school that tries our best to schedule the biggest games that we can. So, I don't know how you can be afraid of competition when we're reaching out to Miami and we KNOW that we don't have the firepower to stand on the same field with them, but we're reaching out to them to say 'we want to play you. Let's see what happens.'
I don't believe anyone has mentioned LB Joe McNeely on this thread. Does he belong on this list?
