Must have taken notes from Ladainlian Tomlinson.

Can someone explain to me the whole LT thing? He almost played at KState or something, right?

Can't match the story of Walter Payton being on the bus and bound for Kansas State when the Jackson State coach suddenly showed up at the last minute and convinced him to stay.

Walter was only a one star on Rivals at the time, so we didn't even notice. He would have been a nice pick up.

There was also something about freshman football with him as well.  Payton's freshman year was the first year freshman were allowed on the varsity team.  The Jackson State coach told him that as a freshman he would be given the same opportunity to play as everyone else and he wasn't sure he'd be given the same chance as KSU.  Freshman playing was a new thing and no one knew how coaches were going to react.

payton's brother was the golf coach at jackson st.  he was the one that got him, not the fball coach.  i mean i guess the coach told him to or whatever, but it was all family loyalty.

I know, the recruiting coverage back then was spotty at best.

I can confirm numerous players' love of partying from that era, sadly Jeff is not one.  Would be a lot cooler if I was.

dear god, had not seen this before.  check the 31 second mark to see this guy run down on kickoff team: http://www.prepforce.com/video/1630/2013-de-jamone-boyd-highlights

got two high school DE's around 6'4/6'5 260 with legit 4.6ish speed.  feelsgood.
Academics is a stupid word.

Academic schools are synonymous for being rich, powerful and exclusive, three things Kansas State is not.

So when people throw the word "academics" around, that's really what they are referencing.
