Hopefully he's out of Les' doghouse and will stay out of trouble now, since he's our best hope at QB for the next two years.
Should be a great game.
Don't know if you remember... but we had a pretty decent QB a few years ago not travel to a game because he was in the dog house. Ended up winning some little award down the road. Turned out the game was a bowl game, and I don't have to tell you about the award
That's proof that if a kid can make a mistake, he can learn from it. I hope for you guys that whatever it was that he did, that he learned from it.
Hate to see a kid have off field issues. It's a hard life those players have with school, sports and pressures of being 18 - 22 years old... Not to mention the shady boosters out there who think they are doing a kid a favor when all they are doing is putting our beloved schools in serious harms way.
Here's to a great game in a great town!
From a Buckeye, here's my local favorites in NOLA:
1) The Napoleon House -- Good steak. Pimms (sp?) Cup is the house drink. Don't know that I care much for it, but it was worth the taste.
2) The Palace Cafe -- Shrimp Tchefuncte is my favoite dish there. So good that I bought one of the recipe books because this was in there.
3) Poboys -- Have had a lot of top shelf Shrimp Poboys all over town. Not sure that you can really go wrong there. Just load up those shrimp (which are about the size of a small cat in these parts
4) Coffee -- Chicory coffee is a real treat. Don't drink it up here... can't tell you why... but I also can tell you that I drink way too much of it when I visit ya'll.
5) Bourbon Street -- What can you say. Anything (I mean anything) you want and some things you can't get rid of with a shot of penicillin can be found here.
... and finally... one of my best memories of Nola from a couple of years ago. Was down there working with a client and headed out to explore the town after work one night. Was walking toward Bourbon by what must have been a Sports Authority or the like. Sporting goods store anyhow. So, I'm walking up on this store and I see what looks like a Buckeye jersey hanging in the window. The number on the jersey is "4." So, I'm thinking to myself... The last time any Buck had a 4 on their jersey that would be hanging in a window was... and then I see the back of the jersey... sure enough: Herbstreit. Turns out that College Game Day was in BR that weekend. Nice to have seen the 'ol colors down there though.
Ya'll have a great team and town down there. I can't say enough nice things about the people or hospitality that I've received.
Now, let 'em line up and let the hitting begin. Best team wins!
