Highly regarded Texas high school quarterback prospect Russell Shepard will tell you luck had nothing to do with him committing to LSU's 2009 recruiting class. "It was a gut feeling for me," Shepard said. Shepard, who is 6 feet 2, 185 pounds with sub-4.4-second speed in the 40-yard dash, is rated among the nation's top prospects as he prepares for his third season as a starter at Cypress Ridge High School in Houston.

His GF, who is a Jr - I believe-, also goes to LSU. His little head conferred with his big head and both agreed. Go to LSU.

It comes from our French heritage. Practically every french last name in Louisiana ends in either "eaux" or "eau".

Booty would have never touched the field at LSU, there is nothing to get over.

McKnight has to live with his mistake.
