From wiki but I think that is about right. They might as well sit him and get him ready for LSU, it would seem.



Yeah I really don't understand why he is still out there playing right now, but I trust our training staff.

Just seems weird to put him out there against Ga St. especially out of the 15 WR's that caught passes he wasn't one of them.

I think the other issue is something AJ mentioned yesterday is that teams are just denying the deep ball right now. It is why we have seen so many short crossing routes and things like that.

I really don't think it's turf toe.

I really don't think it's an attitude problem either, he's just not completely focusing in practice or during games. It only takes a millisecond lack of focus to drop a pass, and he struggled with that in the first few games. If player A, B, and C are less talented but more reliable than player D, Saban is going to play them every time over that guy.

Nobody has a guaranteed spot in the lineup, that's the way it should be.

He is a dynamic player though, and he's proven that and proven he's one of the best in the country when he's tuned in. He just needs to find that zone

Cooper's attitude this season is Clowney Ultra Light.

he needs to get his attitude in order and get back in the coaches good graces. but he's not out there refusing to play cause his wittle pinky hurts, and Cooper isn't out there sucking wind in the 2nd quarter like he just smoked a blunt.

Both guys suffered from a little bit too much hype from last season. Some Bama fans were saying that Cooper would be as good or better than Julio, and the numbers bear that out a little. But these kids have to realize that you haven't arrived just because of one good season.

partial hijack: historically, which players from your SEC team have been the biggest "one year wonders" only to never do much again? players who finally played good in their senior year shouldn't be considered.
