I think the article was fine, to the point, and unbiased. Lets be honest, Alabama is better than us in every facet of the game, defense, offense, special times; they pass the eye test AND basically beat us in every stat. Nobody in their right minds would pick us to win this game. Nobody.

For the record, I kind of like AA. She is MUCH better than HD. This article is honest. She doesn't "put down" or sarcastically berate teams like HD does in her article, but tells it like it is and says what we need to do to win the game. (In this case, be better in everything)

With that being said, it feels good to be the underdog again. Lets earn our respect.

I loved the days when we received absolutely no respect! Those teams played with a fire and passion we haven't seen in years! With that being said,win or lose, we have to show that the off season has been productive, that we have addressed issues and that we are hungry, focused. Anybody that watched that game knows exactly what we are up against. What better motivation than hearing you stand no chance of winning for 7 1/2 months! Earn your respect, that is the position we are in. Lets see if our coaches and players are ready to make us proud!

ALLEGEDLY held up a McD's right? Was he ever convicted of that?

That's exactly what I was saying. Timing was horrible. And we see how it has affected our team. DFS left (granted, he was already heading out the door), Harrell decommitted, and we, in my opinion, settled for JJ because other solid candidates were off the board. I don't want to see that happen to our football team.

Great minds think alike.

It wasn't the fact that he fired Greenberg, but the way he did it. He decided a week before and didn't even tell him that he was going to be fired. And on top of that, waited for a month after our season was over to do it.

Greenburg had become toxic to the BB program. Just look at all of the asst. coaches who were running away for lateral jobs. JJ may or may not pan out, but this season cannot be a fair barometer of his abilities with only 7 scholarship athletes able to get on the court at this point. Gotta give him a chance to recruit and develop players before we decide on his coaching prowess. Weaver really should have let Greenburg go when it became apparent several seasons ago that he was having difficulty staffing his program, IMO.

Meyer had it down how to use him. He was just good enough passing it.

Then I saw Cam Newton (and with the visceral connection to Tebow nonetheless) and it was just a year, but Cam was Tebow with better passing.

I would rank both ahead of Vick.

If Logan is a 2nd round pick and can get a Kapernick type of situtation where he can learn for a year, that is probably the optimal way to do this. Sure, there is a chance that we land Pep, LT returns, plays to his potential, is a Heisman finalist and a top 5 draft pick (seriously, all of that is possible), but there is a lot of hope in that scenario.

the more likely scenario for him returning is that Pep turns us down, we end up with Dana Bible, a rebuilt OL and WR corps leads to pretty much the same season LT had this year and he's a 5th round selection next year with heavy discussions about whether he should be a TE in the NFL. If that's the case, then, hey, should have went pro and taken that 2nd round draft status....

Regarding VT, again, it would be great if LT returned, with Pep, Heisman finalist, etc. But, again, more likely is that Pep turns us down, Dana Bible, etc. If that's the case, having two years for Leal to play with this rebuilt OL and WR corp probably is better long term. I'm hesitant about Leal, he looks more like Maurice DeShazo than Tyrod Taylor to me...but you could make the case that he can be a Russell Wilson type. I'm a huge LT fan, but if we are going to be spinning our wheels in '13 anyway, it's probably not a bad thing to do it with a r-Jr than a r-Sr.

It was purely an effort thing. JJ said that he thought CJ wasn't giving enough effort in games or practices and decided to play Beyer because of the effort he's been giving.

A side note about Beyer, he seems to me like he's better than Wood or Barksdale. I know he isn't as talented, but when someone plays that hard on every play they're going to help the team so much.

Something about his demeanor in the bowl made me think the same thing. I almost felt like his body language looked like he hated everything that was happening. I'm not saying he wasn't giving 100 percent because I think he was, I just think that he was so frustrated with the team and the play calling. I would hate for him to leave for the draft to get away from the mess but unless we can get a coaching deal done and sit him down with Logan I think that is what could happen.

My comment to those who say that he's going to leave because he already graduated is that he has said previously before and during this season that his intention was to be here for next Fall. He didn't all of a sudden change his plans and graduate early. He knew what classes he was taking and that he would graduate this Fall. I certainly hope that he stays and that he is just waiting on the coaching change to make his decision. After talking with people who know him and his family, it seems that he's far too down to earth to make a run for the money, but everybody has their price.
