DeAngelo Williams ended his career at Memphis is style today rushing for 223 yards on 30 carries and setting an NCAA record with his 34th 100 yard game, breaking the mark held by Tony Dorsett and Archie Griffin. He also ended up 4th on the NCAAs career rushing list with 6,021 yards.

 

He's going to be a great NFL back too.

He's gonna be a star you can just tell. And congrats to Memphis on the win and representing Tennesse well. Memphis will never be a powerhouse in football, but they are winning, I just wish they could get more support. They are winning conf-usa and bowl games with a roster filled with West Tennesse talent. Over 40 players on that team are from Memphis and West Tennessee even if it is a big rivarly between UT and them, you have to give Memphis thier props for staying in state and recruiting. A lot of those guys are not walk-ons but are under scholarship and thats just a testiment to Tommy West's commitment to staying in state. Life without DeAngelo wont be as good, but it wont be bad either. Joseph Doss from Melrose is no #20 but he will be a great back, and with big Paul Edwards from McKenzie going into his sophmore year in 2006 the O-Line will be getting a big upgrade.

 

Also word his Tommy West is staying true to his West Tennesse talent, and is going to land another great athlete/back as he did with Doss, Williams (Crockett Co.), and Smith (Milan).

More support? They've averaged 40,000 people three years in a row, with only two SEC home games. And why can't Memphis be a powerhouse in football? As long as Tommy West is there, they'll be good.

 

They're doing about as well as anybody in the nation that doesn't get a BCS welfare check.

Tommy West has done a very good job at Memphis. He will continue to do so. The attendance has been up since he arrived

 

It's always been pretty good for the quality of play on the field. Now that it's a good product, they're drawing 40k. They still drew 20-25 even when they were wretched.

      Cane Ridge vacancy

      This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…

      Where does DCA go?

      Well, your Big Western Hunt better turn up some Zebras to come graze on the Stones to make the jungle gametime ready again and make sure the plumber bros. still will come service the facilities at the Mecca. I hope your weekend is Fowl. Tell Rip hello from the Five Oh. Maybe the Gravedigger will catch a ride with Alphaniner on a flyover soon to BNA.

      It’s not hearsay, just patently false. As one of those young coaches he apparently “ran off”, coach never once ridiculed or degraded anyone. Sure he challenged kids and coached them very hard,  but we have different definitions of you call that degrading. Coach Hammontree changed my life when he gave me the chance to work for him. I learned more about being a man and caring for the people around me in 4 years working for him than I did in 20 years of my life. No one sacrificed more than he did. I left Heritage because I felt there would never be the support necessary to help the program succeed. I’m tired of hearing people drag others down especially those they truly don’t know. Coach has moved on and a new coach is there. Just let the man live and root for the team.

      Waiting on the Great One.   White Horse and Rip have a big weekend in the woods, and the Sheriff is working the overtime here.      Turkey season awaits…..Big Gobblers everywhere.
