Vibing back to 2015-18 when Blake Baker and Joe Sloan balled out at LATech. Now they’re running it back at LSU as OC/DC
Pretty awesome to see Blake’s rise in the ranks from my time in Ruston. For context, he made $140,000 as LaTech’s DC in 2015. Worked his ass off to get here.
LSU is expected to make new DC Blake Baker the highest paid assistant in the country with a three-year deal worth more than $2.2 million a year, sources tell @YahooSports. His new deal at Missouri would have averaged $2 million a year.
Seems like ole Sonny and I would have gotten along great if I was still on the #LATech beat…. 😂
Hey @RedditCFB is it normal for a head coach to pull a media sites credentials in front of their entire team?
Things are going well in Ruston I guess.
This is laughable. Should have hired Joe Sloan when they had the chance.
"Anybody can say anything about me and write what they want about me, but you are not going to use that access that you are given to demean our players." @SCumbie_LaTech today @MorningDrive318 on how he handles social media and criticism as @LATechFB is 3-7 this season. @KNOE8
Still randomly think about this every college hoops season. Now even more so as Dusty May is doing work at FAU. Congrats to he and Kyle Church.
Former Bulldog Speedy Smith backs Dusty May as new HC, says it would b mistake for school not to go in that direction thenewsstar.com/story/sports…

Man, this sucks. Had the pleasure of covering Jaylon during my time in Ruston. Was humble and kind yet a terror to opposing QBs. Sad day for one of best pass rushers to ever do it for LATech FB.
The LA Tech Family mourns this morning's tragic news of the sudden death of former Bulldog great, Jaylon Ferguson.
We will remember his God-given talents on the field and his infectious personality off of it.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
RIP, 45.

Two years ago, a tornado devastated Louisiana Tech. Now, they're an NCAA regional host.
Went to Ruston and wrote a story of rebuilding, purpose and #RustonStrong. On the best story in baseball.

If it was 1991 — instead of 2021 — would you believe me if I told you Kim Mulkey had better odds of becoming LSU's head coach than Louisiana Tech's?
Kim Mulkey is Home.
The national champion and Hall of Famer has been named the head coach of the Fighting Tigers!

Twitter fam, please help me understand the omg-lets-buy-bread-because-a-storm-is-coming reality. OKC is “allegedly” getting a foot of snow, and the panic crew is out in full force.
Don’t these people know bread goes stale in like two days?

Spending the last few hours of the year thinking about the only good thing that happened in 2020.
If I was capable of feeling this much joy during a year that otherwise sucked so bad, then who knows what the future might hold.
Anyway, love y’all, screw 2020 & Tigahs forever.
It’s been nearly five hours and I still can’t tell if this is a serious or troll tweet. This has ruined Christmas week for me.
My team is mostly on board, but we have one obvious dissenter. @SeanTIsabella, what did pancake cereal ever do to you. 🥞🥞🥞

After 21 days in captivity, I have made the brave decision to interact with society. All geared up for a trip to Costco!
