08:16 AM ET 08.30 | In two seasons at LSU, wide receiver James Wright has earned his way on the field with a willingness to block. But Wright, a 6-foot-2, 201-pound junior from Belle Chasse, has padded his resume. He's the starting "X" receiver, the one manned by the Tigers' leading pass-catchers from each of the past two seasons, Terrence Toliver and Rueben Randle. That means he's expected to have a hand -- a pair of them -- in the passing game. "It's been a tough journey, and learning experience, and it's not over with," Wright said. "I still have to go, day in day out, and make the plays in practice and prove myself every day. Things can change any second. I understand I've got the starting spot, but I can't stop working."

Keep that attitude and put up good numbers and he will be just fine.

Good luck to him-hope the game this Saturday does not get postponed.

Gary Patterson is so good he's on the list twice?

Butch is a nonstarter, for sure. Hog-honchos on the search committee should make sure anybody with even a hint of baggage from previous indiscretions should not get past a first interview, if even that.

Still think it may be MannyD if the UTx defense performs as expected

Butch is on the list b/c of his connectoin to the chicken mafia. He and Tyson are best friends. There's a strong push for him, but he won't get the job.

Don't over-look the Nick Holt hire as Dorrell's replacement. Guy is WAY over-qualified to take a $40k a year job at Arky. We're gonna offer Carroll $4 mill, if he turns us down, Sarks is the man......conspiracy theory #1 for today

You have to have a QB that can get the ball to him, before he can put up good numbers!!! :-)

WPS, as I stated the other day, IMO Sarks would be a great hire for Arky!!!! He is great with young QBs and the players would love him. PC isn't going no way. That is my "conspiracy theory", for the day. :-)
