Title: AJ McCarron is royalty in Alabama, underrated everywhere else Post by: pmull on November 21, 2013, 06:42:34 PM This is a link to the Sports Illustrated article. A long but very good read.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/college-football/news/20131121/aj-mccarron/#ixzz2lJR9J2UJ Quote A self-proclaimed "reformed gunslinger," McCarron sort of splits the difference between his friend Johnny Manziel and Tim Tebow. He's hardly a bad boy -- he has already graduated with a degree in health studies; the next time he gets in trouble will be the first. But McCarron also comes equipped with a streak of defiance. Consider this moment from a recent practice: He was leading "Bamajacks," a team stretching exercise, when he spotted Nick Saban off to the side. "Somebody wake Coach Saban's ass up!" McCarron yelled, mocking the voice and cadence of the sport's most intense and influential figure. "He doesn't seem like he's ready to practice today!"

If nothing else to read the A.J. Starr story. Good man, AJ! ROLL TIDE!!!! Beat UT-Chattanooga! #+ #+ :clap: :clap: Thanks, pmull!
Title: Re: AJ McCarron is royalty in Alabama, underrated everywhere else Post by: ALTideUp on November 22, 2013, 07:42:03 AM Let's not have royalty. Dispensing with it was a good idea in 1776 and it is still a good idea. That kind of think cultivates the kind of behavior that cultivates ugly, selfish, and irresponsible behavior in players.
