Former Demons Support

After catching up with one former Demon, current McNeese AD Tommy McClelland (he tongue in cheek wanted to know if we had found a long snapper as good as him since he graduated), during pre-game warm-ups prior to the NSU-McNeese game,I was pleased to run into several other ex-Demons, as well. The pride of Orange, TX, #56 Roy Locks, was the first former player I greeted, shortly before seeing former Demons Charlie Brooks, Chris "Booger" Brown, and Ed Queen (told Ed I still remember him running down McNeese great B.J. Sams on a reverse back in '03 down there). Finally, good friend and supporter Gant Gremillion was on the sidelines with a seven-year old buddy from Covington. Gant was the winning bidder for a sideline pass for two to a Demon game at Coach Bradley Dale Peveto's auction fund raiser last spring. Gant's wife, Jenny, and one-and-a-half year old daughter were sitting out the game....in the future when that happens, Gant will have to worry about where the two of them are shopping and how much damage they are doing!
