    Winning the Heisman doesn't make you the best Rb in the nation. Cook missed multiple games and Henry is on a better team and gets way more touches. Henry is good but I would take cook without hesitation

    That's like saying, winning 6 rings doesn't make MJ a good basketball player

    Read my post again. I never said Henry was not good. I said imo Cook is better

    That's an absolutely accurate statement, MJ being a good basketball player has nothing to do with the fact that he was on 6 championship teams. He could have been on 0 championship teams and still would have been a good player.

    Personally I have a hard time trusting Bama RB's when it comes to the NFL. Bama usually has an awesome O line that makes life easy for RB's and a lot of those RB's don't do well at the next level without a dominant O line manhandling defenders. Trent Richardson and Glen Coffee (who washed out of football and joined the Army, he's a specialist now and he works at Ranger school) are good examples of this.

    BOOM!

    Knew he would commit when Big ed commited to us. Just a matter of when. We are loaded now. QB's for the future after ward is good. Sells, King, and Masscaro (assuming he stays at QB).

    One reason he left TCU was because he wanted to play as a freshman. Interested to see how Herm will use him next season since G-Ward will be under center

    Have you seen our 2017 recruit Jaylon Mascorro? 6'2 210 and runs a 4.4. That's just insane for a qb

    Crazy to think who else will jump on board in Feb if they beat FSU.

    No I mean if. Feel confident we can win, but not going to pop off claiming a guaranteed victory (especially against FSU).

    Exactly.

    These are the things that increases perception and lasting Cougar Pride.
    Die hards will always support and see things through Red glasses. Casual fans/students are the tough sell. It's why I really wanted an undefeated season. Too late now.

    Next up...Beat FSU. Tall task, but possible. Regardless don't get blown out the building.

    Golson out for the Peach Bowl due to "personal issues", supposedly a death in his family. Didn't make the trip to Atlanta today with the Noles.
