HawgGoneIt Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 I love his line about the fact that he could have went to a different college and got more carries or whatever, but, he had all of the same great college football experience staying at LSU and blocking for others. Humble, team guy. Good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if you picked up on it but Banks son is playing for the Rebs right now 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 10-12 years ago I was fishing on the Okaloosa Island/Fort Walton pier there was a couple of West Monroe guys on the pier we talked for a few hours about football. One thing they hated Evangel Christian. Of course bragged about beating them in 2003. They knew of Hoover and watched 2 a days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badrouter Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I'm a Gator grad, c/o 2001. Sadly, I remember Tommy Banks from that night in 1997. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoover is definitely one of them. Maybe some day 🏈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
