10 of the players who played on the 1969 team and beyond. I remember this clearly, but getting old, seeing us lose much, and forgot about the NFL talent we had. That book pointed out 14 players ( 1969 team) who went on to the NFL. Mo's, and Carr's teams as well had a number of players each year who went on to play in the NFL.
These past 7 years we have had a player or TWO make an impact in the NFL- Mostly from the O and D lines. THAT should be addressed BY coach Jim if we are to get back to the Golden years. Now I know that we had talent and we under achieved many times during the course of Mo/ Lloyd's years, but we may have won in spite of the under development. We had injuries in 2007 when we beat Florida with Henne and Hart.
I just know that there is a great correlation when we finish in the Top 5 to 10 in recruiting going back to 1967 to 2007.
Do we have anyone ( a few, many ) that next year under coach Jim that will go NFL? The more we have the better the chance at having a good, better, best season.
God Bless and Go Blue. "74
PS Wednesday I go to Temple Lung Center for a critical '6 minute Walk test'. Please oh, please pray I do well.
4 weeks ago I went and did horrible with it 6 minute test. I was up to 10 liters of O2 to get me back to 88 on my Pulse sox (sp) I need to be minimum at 90. Many of you know that we all normally are at 95 or higher. If my test is down again I go to the transplant team and I don't really want to. I have begun Pulmonary Therapy - 4 visits already and am doing well according to the PT folks. My Drs. told me that Transplants are usually good for 3 years max before the body starts to reject lungs even with the meds. I fight on praying God has longer plans for me , but HE has the plan just like Coach Jim does. Amen!
