Bo: A Quarterback's Journey Through an SEC Season

This ended up being a pretty good read. There were a lot of good insights into the 2014 season. It definitely gave me more respect for Bo and the mounds of shite fans gave him. I was already one of those that is quick to acknowledge that he's probably got as much as much to do with our success as Freeze does, though. He'll always be remember d by me as one of my favorite Rebel QBs ever.

First off - we all kne his shoulder was fuuuuucked up his Sophomore year, but he covered a lot of it up. He reinjured it in the Arkansas game that year just before he led us on the game winning drive. For the rest of the season he couldn't even lift his arm for most of the week leading up to each game. I didn't realize just how bad it was.

Next, his foot injury against Arky in 2014 was waaaaay worse than I ever knew. Apparently he couldn't even drop back to pass as late as the Wednesday before the State game. It was bad. The doctors didn't want him to play. He did anyway.

Those were just two examples that I can remember off the top of my head, but shite that dude was tough as nails.

Also, he didn't leave the LSU game early because he was butt hurt. He was following other teammates (Treadwell included) down the tunnel because they all thought the game was over and knew it was about to get crazy. They didn't realize there's was still time on the clock. And earlier in that game when he held up 3 fibers to Jalen Mills he wasn't taunting him with our ranking, but saying "y'all have had no defensive depth for 3 years now and it's about to bite you again".

His relationship with Freeze was also really good and not nearly as strained as the media liked to make it seem. They butted heads, but always talked it out.

All in all, it was a great look into that season and Bo specifically. I already respected the hell out of the guy, but the book illuminated that he wasn't as much of a douche as we were led to believe.
