Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

First and formeost:  AJ McCarren? Seriously? 184 pounds of Bama Bangs is most definitely not Tennessee QB material. Head on back to Mobile and start drinking some Myoplex, AJ.  I hope that Saban held that scholarship for you even after you defied his edict of visiting Tennessee.  It is my sincere hope that rising 5th year senior Crompton, owner of a blank stare like he would get lost in a one bedroom apartment, did not host AJ.

Cromptonites? Persistent, they are:

I think he has the raw talent but was totally bumfuzzled by the system last year, as were his teammates. I envision (hope I’m right) a Ainge/Cutcliffe type rebound year. All this hinges on my belief that Kiffin will be better at shaping his system to fit his players than Clawson was and also the fact that Crompton SHOULD be the most talented QB on our roster.

Man, they hated Erik Ainge before. Now they can’t stop comparing Cromptos to Ainge. The difference? Ainge has brain activity. Besides, Crompton had two years with Cutcliffe around and still looked like a limp meat whistle last year.

#8 needs to work on making handoffs, lining up under center and putting his mouthpiece in his mouth.

  1. Errr . . .Jai . . .perhaps some guy namesd A.J. McCarrEN was at UT but media reports easily acessible by a simple search will tell you that A.J. McCarrON did not visit and was at the Senior Bowl in Mobile this weekend. According to the major recruiting sources, he will not visit UT.

    Noty that that is a big loss. He looks smallish to me.

    I seriously doubt Kiffin will switch from rising 5th year senior Crompton, don’t UTE?

  3. Hey I didn’t say McCarron was a great recruit. Just that he wasn’t at UT. He was at the Senior Bowl on Sunday was the only reason I knew that. Several papers noted it.

    I think he’s a frail-body who’ll make Brodie Croyle look like Bronko Nagurski. I don’t think UT will miss him.

  4. DF…..our boy A.J. is going to surprise you.
    You know better than to listen to all this junk on here.
    He’s doing what his commander told him…don’t go to Vileville

    No flame, do you think Saban could dunk a basketball over Kiffin?

  6. #5 of course he could. Saban would punch Kiffy in the balls, step on his back , and two-handed slam . . .

    This is all dependent on Kiffin HAVING descended testicles, however.

    Can we redo that scenario with Pat Summitt? He has the biggest set of testicles in Knoxville . . . .

  8. @6,
    Considering Sabear is 5’2″ I seriously doubt that.

    On a Nerf goal maybe
