So Long Seniors

Tomorrow is the last game at the Pad for the season. The LSU Tigers(17-8, 10-4) roll into Tad Smith to take on the Rebels (13-14, 4-10). If the Rebels want to finish the season at .500 or better, they must win this game. LSU is the hottest team in SEC basketball right now, Coach John Brady brings his team into Oxford riding a four game winning streak. For the Rebels, most of the attention will be put on Senior night. The Rebels will be graduating one of its largest Senior classes in history. Players include: Kendrick Fox, Justin Johnson, Cavadas Nunnery, Chris Rhodes(thank God), Tommie Eddie, Ed Glass, and Marvin Moore. Very few people will be upset with this class leaving. Find a player in this group that another SEC team would like and I would love to argue with you. However this group of seniors have stuck through it over the past 2-4 years. I have to really give it to Tommie Eddie who fights hard at his position. Who knows who will win, I just hope we do not leave the seniors we start in for a long time. I will be interested to see how Coach Rod Barnes decides whether or not to play Londrick Nolen. Nolen and Barnes have not been best of pals lately. Hopefully I will see you at the Pad for one last time this year.
