whats up with that.

They said that Eddie D. was scheduled to be there, but had flight problems and wasn't going to arrive in time.
Same for Shane Sellers, regardless of Sellers controversy, he was still a leading jock from cajun country. Not commenting just relaying what was said.
Kent D. was never discussed as being one of the jocks.

That's why I think something at the Fairgrounds would be great, they all ride there except Calvin, hopefully he could be convinced to come down to NOLA, and the purses are really good at the Fairgrounds, lots of big stakes days too. Lot easier for us to get to the Fairgrounds even if it was on a Friday. It would be good for NOLA too.
