Love it, "B. Thomas"...a friend of mine up here in Boston didn't believe me when I told him Demaryius "Bay Bay" Thomas had B on his jersey as first initial. One of my all-time favorite Jackets, both for his on field accomplishments and his pre-GT overcoming adversity. Dude is a great role model.

We played West Lauren's my junior year in the first round playoffs of 2005. Mr. Bey Bey had a good game against us but we shut them down 44-17. He was good but nobody saw the all pro WR that he became. So happy he went to GT and was drafted by a good organization. I hate to see all the good players go play for crappy teams.
