Y'all keep putting LSU players in the HOF. Even at the bookstore today I saw a Tahoe with 2 big LSU stickers on the back panels. LSU is taking over Lubbock.

Congrats on the Class of 2010

furniss never wanted to play ball professionally as a career. he just used it as an avenue to pursue his real dream.

his dad was a doctor and so is he. he completed medical school and both share a family practice in texas.

his dad sat by us many games when he played. great people. some of the very best you'll ever meet and eddie was the same way. one hell of a family.

and yes he still holds most of the records.
