CHRIS BUCHANAN: DIE HARD COWBOY FAN WILL ATTEND 503RD CONSECUTIVE GAME TODAY VS. LAMAR by Jim Gazzolo, courtesy of the American Press Sept. 24, 1977, Jimmy Carter was president, gas prices were 62 cents a gallon and cable television was taking off nationwide. It was also the last time Chris Buchanan sat at home while McNeese played a football game. “I was just out of college and I was broke,” Buchanan said. “I could not afford to pay for the trip.” Since that loss at Eastern Michigan, he hasn’t missed a Cowboys game. He even traveled to Tarleton State in Stephenville, Texas, just outside Dallas for the first-ever McNeese spring game on February 13. That was the 500th consecutive Cowboys game he has attended. “I didn’t start off trying to go to that many games,” said Buchanan, who graduated from McNeese in 1976. “I just liked going to the games.” It started with his father, who moved to Lake Charles after World War II and became a fan of La-Grange High School’s team and McNeese. He passed that love along to his son, who hasn’t missed a beat in 45 seasons. “It hasn’t always been easy getting to the games,” Buchanan said. “And I don’t know how it will be like the rest of this spring, with COVID restrictions, but I would like to try and get to them all. “This is just something I enjoy doing. I’m not trying for any streak, I’m just a big fan of the school and its teams.” Both his parents were as well. His dad, “Buck” even helped build the Cowboy Club while his mother was best known as the Cookie Lady for the goodies she would bake for fans and players alike. “They were huge supporters of the Cowboys,” Buchanan said of his parents. “It made it great to spend time with them, and that was important. But you also got to know the team and you just become a fan.” Buchanan has stayed close to the program even when he worked in New Orleans or now while living in Orange, Texas. “It has just been a part of me,” he said. “I just enjoy it, being around other McNeese fans. It’s special.” He has even passed it down a third generation, to his son, though he admits there is a big difference between the two. “My son goes to the games, not all of them, but some,” Buchanan said. “He enjoys them, but he is not a fanatic like me.” Buchanan said the game that sticks out most to him was a 1997 playoff victory at Delaware. It came during the Division I-AA national semifinals as McNeese won 23-21 on a last-second 31-yard field goal by Shonz Lafrenz. “That was exciting, a great finish,” Buchanan said. “Nobody gave us a chance. Of course it was disappointing to lose the title game (to Youngstown State), but that game was thrilling.” Buchanan remembers the emotional games, like the first one after losing his father or the first game back for the Cowboys after Hurricane Rita in 2005. “Those games were tough, a lot going through your mind,” he said. “Very emotional.” It was no different on February 27 when the Cowboys returned home for the first time since Hurricanes Laura and Delta six months ago. “I think it is really important for everyone to see that the school is bouncing back. We all want normalcy to return and I think sports is a big part of that.”

From 2005-07, Wilson served as the running backs/assistant special teams coach at Mississippi, where he recruited prominent future NFL stars Kendrick Lewis and Mike Wallace. He also developed a first-team all-conference running back in Green-Ellis. Wilson joined the Rebels’ staff after serving one year as director of athletics for the New Orleans Public School System after spending three-and-a-half seasons as head football coach and offensive coordinator at O. Perry Walker High School. Wilson led O. Perry Walker to two District 10-4A championships and the Louisiana Class 4A State Championship game in 2002. He was honored by the NFL as the 2002 Louisiana Coach of the Year and was voted by his peers as the Louisiana Class 4A Coach of the Year. Wilson also was a finalist for the 2002 Nike National Coach of the Year. During his head coaching stint at O. Perry Walker, Wilson developed 22 players who earned Division I scholarships, including 11 in 2002 to rank as the nation’s largest high school class of D-I signees. The 2002 team defeated national-power John Curtis Christian School, 20-0, during the regular season, which snapped a 136-game district winning streak for John Curtis and marked the first time that team had failed to score in 303 consecutive games, a national record. Wilson spent three years as an assistant coach at Edna Karr High School, also in New Orleans, from 1997-2000. He served as offensive coordinator at Edna Karr during the 1999 season in which the team reached the Class 3A state finals and recorded its best statistical season on offense in the program’s history. Wilson got his start in coaching as a student assistant at his alma mater, Nicholls State University, working with the running backs while he finished his degree. While in Thibodaux, Wilson helped coach the first 1,000-yard rusher in school history and was part of the biggest turnaround in NCAA history at the time for the Colonels, who improved from 0-10 in 1995 to 8-2 in 1996. A three-year letterman at Nicholls State, Wilson earned honorable mention all-conference honors as a running back his sophomore year. Wilson attended Geneva University in Beaver Falls, Pa., his freshman season, earning conference Freshman of the Year honors as a running back and kick returner. He also earned first team all-conference honors and was an honorable mention NAIA Division II All-American. Wilson received his bachelor of arts degree in general education from Nicholls State in 1997. Wilson and his wife, Tiffany, have three children: Alaina, Sabree and Frank IV.

What They’re Saying About Coach Wilson “Frank is a great Louisiana man. He was one of the best assistant coaches in LSU history and he will do a great job for McNeese.” – Ed Orgeron, LSU head coach. “Coach Frank Wilson changed my life. He gave a young kid from New Orleans a chance to compete and learn on a higher level. He opened the doors for so many of us Louisiana athletes and I’m just happy to see him making strides and becoming all that he can be. He is a true inspiration.” – Tyrann Mathieu, former LSU defensive back and Heisman Trophy finalist and currently with the Kansas City Chiefs. “Be a pro. Coach Wilson made it a real possibility not with just the amount of work we put in, but with the culture he brought to the program. He gave us respect and responsibility and we thrived. I’m happy to see Coach Wilson help others turn dreams into reality.” – Marcus Davenport, former UTSA player and first round draft pick by the New Orleans Saints. “One of the most loving and caring coaches outside of football. The love I have for him will last a lifetime. Anyone that gets him as a coach will love him not as a coach but also as a father figure. Also he’s a God fearing man.” – Leonard Fournette, former LSU running back and current running back for the Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “Coaches and players gravitate to Frank Wilson. He was a part of my staff at Tennessee and I can tell you firsthand that he develops players as well as anyone in college football. People talk about how great of a recruiter he is, but he is just as strong of a leader.” – Lane Kiffen, Ole Miss head coach who hired Frank Wilson at Tennessee. “I had the honor to play for and be recruited by a man who was so unselfish in his work and in his life that people were drawn to his efforts and commitment, which helped them become a man foremost and then a player. I speak firsthand for how he’s stayed in contact with players even after they have left his reach. They don’t make many like him.” – Jarvis Landry, Cleveland Browns wide receiver.
