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.

Like a crazy super hero from a graphic novel, Tales Of The Black Freighter, All American Tennessee QB Jon Crompton is firmly seated in the saddle.

Appalacia mythology tells us that  Cromps is the god of war, thunder and lightening, and he is rumored to be the son of a  Black Bear. Cromptonites now try to destroy the enemies of the Cromptos using magic beans and pixie dust. Remember it was Cromps who chased away the “fragile as eggshells”/Touchdown Machine Erik Ainge and then dared top recruit Bryce Brown and warm spring rains to return to Knoxville for another recruiting visit. Cromps is considered to be the god of the ball security and of the deep fade to the corner. Vols, Bitch.

Bring that trophy home Jon!!
