In the latest SI that just came out, there is a great picture of a JJ Pearce High School(my alma mater) WR making a TD catch against Mesquite Horn. A friend of mines son is one of the lineman in the picture.

Shane - I'm curious as to how in the world that picture made it into SI?! I thought you might have some insight on this. I know the picture was from the DMN but just couldn't believe it found its way into SI. Pretty cool to open the #1 sports magazine in the country and see your high school leading it off.

Basically, anyone can submit a photo to Leading Off. That doesn't mean that they accept it or that they don't laugh you out of the building. But anyone can send the email.

Its a weird little section of the mag with photos that are basically just good photos not dependent upon the story or sport.

I haven't seen the photo, but is must have been unusual to make Leading Off. SI and the DMN have good relationship and the DMN submits things often.

BTW, its a huge paycheck that is split between the photog and the paper when it finally arrives, they picked up a photo of mine several months ago........ still no check.

AND I MIGHT ADD. That Richardson will rise to our past glory and kick both your asses.

Seeya,

Shane

Shane - Thanks for the insight! So you mean you are from the enemy? Say it isn't so!? The evil that is the purple and gold of the Richardson buzzards!? Now that explains a lot! When were you there?

Richardson and Lake Highlands.......glory days are in the distant past.

Justin - I looked on the SI and DMN website but couldn't find it.

Wow! This brings back memories!!

,..another LH Wildcat here, class of '97. Yeah, the three years we were there, we didn't lose a single home game, lost 2 reg. season games total, and made it to the state semifinals back to back years... then the couple of classes after us extended the playoff run to 11 straight years, but after that...... ugh.

... know what did it?? Those of you who were there remember that we had silver helmets back then... the YEAR they went to the juniorhigh looking red, it all went downhill...

Yeah, that's great for the Rams... who, if i'm not mistaken, are being coached by Jim Ledford, who was the offensive coordinator at Lake Highlands when we were winning in the late 90's.... he left for a head coaching job in Madisonville, and was replaced as OC by Harry Everett, who is now the head coach at Richardson..

Coach Led was a great coach and a great guy... best of luck to the Rams! Seems like we played Carter every year in rd. 1 when I was there, and we always had a lot of success, so hopefully he still has the touch!

SI also scowers sports photography agencys for Leading Off Photos. THey also have a live site to submitt photos. It says only SI photographers can submitt, but really anybody can. I have never submitted anything, but have never had anything worthy of Leading Off yet. It's a fun littel section of SI, its to bad ESPN mag ripped it off.

Shane what was the pic! How long ago was it, ive been getting SI for a while now.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Hodge, and really McCasland before him, seem to have a lot of reluctance to playing underclassmen. the trio of Rubin, Abou and Scott all starting as sophomores is the last real example of kids getting a shot. I'd be surprised if Vice (or Cotton, or Mason) gets much run v. McNeese...they'll likely play v. TWU and get some run in that December home-stand, but unless one of them real distinguishes themselves I think the rotation is pretty well set.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      5 conference games today, the most interesting being FAU having to come right back after a 2OT loss to play 3-0 Liberty. Minnesota hosts Yale, who already gave 13 ranked Purdue a hell of a game...so their board might be in full meltdown later this evening.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      11/16...not a good night for the league...3 tough loses all by 3 points - UAB loses to High Point (UNT opponent on 12/6...they're now 4-0) 68-65. Butter Johnson showed up 21 off the bench...looks like he'd been struggling and responded with a reserve role...Lendeborg had 17-15, but UAB didn't have anyone else in double-figures. - FAU lost on a 3-pt buzzer beater to Charleston 119-116 in double OT. looks like not a lick of defense was played in this game...would've been fun to watch...both teams shot north of 50% from the floor and from three...FAU put six dudes in double figures lead by Louisville transfer Kaleb Green, but got done in by the leading scorer in the country Ante Brzovic who had 39 including the winner - Temple lost to Boston College 72-69. Temple were down as many as 14 in the first half, took a second half lead, but couldn't hang on. Jamal Mashburn Jr. looks to be a problem, but Temple doesn't seem to have much beyond him. - Memphis and USF won games they should have...Tulane lost to a 4-0 Furman.
