The South should have Hestered it


What's up with this microphoned coach on the sidelines at the Senior Bowl and his San Francisco 49er offensive coordinator?

No offense, but this little horsey they put in at quarterback from Hawaii couldn't make most middle school teams around here. Finally, a Tennessee quarterback had to come in and direct traffic.

But then, get down on the goal line with four opportunities to break into the endzone and throw three floaters to receivers not much taller than I am against NBA-sized defensive backs? Give me a break!

LSU's Jacob Hester was in on at least a couple of those plays and could have broken the plane with one touch. Instead, you give it to some chomper from Florida to get the glory.

The only thing I could figure must be that the defensive coordinator for the South had little faith in his ability to stop a quick comeback with John David Booty scheduled to come back in at quarterback for the North; or, they knew that Hester played on the kickoff team and might hurt some of the players who never heard of eating black-eyed peas, grits or crawfish.

And while I am on my soapbox, what's up with those white LSU helmets? Paint them things gold, or scrape off the logos and use 'em for flower pots.
