Marshall Faulk question for the old timers

[LuCane]

Holy ****. This thread alerted me that i'm now an "old timer."

Yes, but you tell him straight to his face, if he wants to be a RB, he simply needs to come in and show he can do it. If he can, he gets the job. "Sure, we'll let you try out there, and if it doesn't work out, we'll try to at CB." It was a MASSIVE failure not bringing him in and giving him a shot. If he's the best CB in the country, but wants to try out at a different position, you do whatever it takes to get him in the door.

Reminds me of how Spurrier wanted Clinton Portis to be a DB for the Crocs. But Butch offered to let him have a shot at RB. Huge win.

How you like Will Stein for Kentucky? I think hes an excellent guy

I was able to speak to him via telephone. He is young. Kinda remind me of LSU coach a little. He is inviting or receptive to letting ex players around the program. I think that can always be good. It's definitely not the same history as the U. But its a good start. I tell people i played at kentucky for 4 years and grateful. But i used to not miss a hurricane game on a saturday while i played at UK! Lol been a cane fan as far as i could remember

Eric Kelly...Injuries suck, but I see that you played 3 full seasons, went 3rd round out of Kentucky. Did you also run track? And you're from Panama City, I grew up in the Pan handle as well

I played highschool my juniour year. But tore my entire knee apart. So i really played my senior year only. At kentucky during spring. I clocked as low as 4.34 after the surgery. I was about 185 pounds at that time. Before that i have no idea what i was running. Never ran track.

Faulk couldn't have been more ideal for Erickson's one back spread offense. It would have been great, he was the real deal.

That's cool man, like I said injuries suck, sorry that happened to you but a 4.34 after a torn knee is amazing. I got a track scholarship to Texas Southern (HBCU). I finished 3rd in the state in the 400 meter my senior year in 2005, I ran a 48.8. I ended up joining the military after my 1st semester in college ( I was a knuckle head and didnt keep my grades up) but I was going to join the football team as a walkon, ended up retiring from the army though.

What is your greatest memories as a Canes fan growing up? When did you first fall in love? I was 4 watching the UM vs ND game in 89 in Germany with my dad. He was in the military. That was the first game I remember. But I didn’t really start remembering games for real until 91, but I started playing ball at 6. Played d2. Nothing like what you accomplished but I rep the U all day over my garbage program lol.
