The 2006 LSU football media guide is a 208-page paean to the largesse of Tiger football. Shoe-horned into the book are words and images detailing 91,000-seat Tiger Stadium, head coach Les Miles, the prospects for a team coming off an 11-2 season, the days of yore from Billy Cannon to Bert Jones. There are bios of the offensive coordinator, Jimbo Fisher, and the defensive chief, Bo Pelini, both of whom who would go on to run their own programs at the top of the college football food chain.

At the bottom of page 110 are a dozen postage-stamp size, black-and-white head shots of ancillary personnel. There is a graduate assistant coach named John Papuchis and interns named Mike Ekeler and Terry Joseph.

“That’s pretty cool,” says Papuchis, looking at a print-out of the page 11 years later. “We always said one day we’d work together. Now’s our chance.”
