Overrated as an author.
There, I said it.

Yes, I was extremely relieved they did not hire Sumrall too. He was who I wanted Bama to get if Deboer went to Big10.

I know the true story.

4 weeks into the season and Florida has been crowned.

quote:Ah yes, Faulkner - the only man who could turn “the clock is broken” into a six-page family indictment involving Southern apparitions, a dying mule, three generations of cousins named Quentin, and a river that somehow knows everybody’s sins. By the time he reaches the period, the sentence has inherited the house, buried the patriarch, and developed an unhealthy relationship with time itself.

Whats the point.

Forget Sumrall, I'm glad AU doesn't have UF's running back room. Those guys look like early to mid Saban era RB's.

It’s not a Hollywood story. Auburn was telling Jon’s agent how it’s gonna be and Florida was telling Jon how they were going to help. It’s the classic we expect you to versus we are excited to partner with you. The line “I’m excited to partner with you” that Jon said to the players in the back of the room in his introduction was what UF had been telling Jon.

UF is not crowned and shouldn't be, all they can do is take it 1 week a a time.
I know and you all know very well, when UF has a good/great HC it's a fkn problem.
I know most of you will be praying Buster leaves but CJS said it from dy 1...he knows what UF wants and needs in ref to OFFENSE.
He's not stupid.
