'Nuff said. Thanks for all the years, Chief.“You have a choice every morning when you get up whether you can have a good day or bad day,” Wilkinson said. “I chose every day to have a good day. I’ve loved every second I was here.”
Oakes is alive. He actually commented on Chief's retirement. I thought he was holed up in a basement somewhere or something.
Yeah, he's still around...doing what he does best which is absolutely nothing.Originally Posted by Beaz17
Chief is a great man, and I am thankfull to have the honor to have worked with him and to know him.
I think they should retire his "bucket hat"....
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
There has to be something they can name after him! Maybe the Equipment or Training room?
Or a bronze life-size statue of him sitting in a folding chair at the top of the hill there at the stadium…
The Athletic Training room is named after Dr Bundrick. I think they should name something after Chief though. He is a great person and a great asset to Louisiana Tech.
ah, I forgot that the training room was named after Dr. B...
I've been thinking ove these past couple days, who is going to be handeling the equipment now that Chief is leaving? Would Tech hire someone to do just equipment again? If they do, there is a Tech son that could always be called home from Navada. The non-football playing Jason Martin is doing equipment for our WAC rival, so maybe he can be brought back to, not take Sam's place as that will never happen, but as a way to help in the new era of Tech football.
That's definitely one of the best ideas I've heard! Anyone that has been around Tech athletics (especially Football) knows just how important this man is to Louisiana Tech and just how important Louisiana Tech is to him. He is the definition of a Bulldog!
Chief has been and will always be special to the athletes, coaches and parents. I'm going to miss talking with him at the practices and games.
Great idea . . after they put a statue on the sidelines of Anonymous Donor with his portable radio slammed up against his ear. Yes, two great men.

Say it ain't so. Sam, you will be greatly missed!
While I think Chief is a great person and have always liked him, I can't help but express how SHADY of a person he was working w/Tech athletics. I will leave it at that. Very similar to JO & Seisemore (sp?).
Sorry Chief fans. :bigcry:
