Which tirade? The worst I believe was directed at TJ Jones

in his first collegiate game.


If I recall, that was shortly after Andre Jones passed away

To be clear, there is never an appropriate reason to act that unhinged, and
Lou said it best: Praise in public, (constructively) criticize in private. This would be disappointing in any context, but was particularly jarring at a time where something like "next time, take 3 steps, and either check back/hold your block/go deep" would have actually added value for both rather than tirade-ing a young man already going through a lot. I hope Oompa has matured, but have a potential sense of schadenfreude forthcoming where some Cajun ships him back to Boston.


Yes, Andre had died in late June. (link)

Wasn't Jones' first game, but it was the 2011 opener vs USF

Unless you're thinking of a different tirade. Jones wasn't looking at the ball when it was thrown to him and it bounced off his helmet and miraculously right into the arms of a Bull (that game really was a Murphy's Law game). I was at the 2010 Purdue game - Jones' and Kelly's first - so if there was anything that happened there I didn't see it.


That's right. Thanks. *

He got a rant when he fumbled a snap vs Michigan. *
