21 days until National Signing Day, where the top football prospects sign with their school of choice! Exciting times!
Before I get started, congrats, Erin, and the rest of the Alabama family for the big win. That was amazing how you guys looked like a bunch of pro's and Notre Dame looked like a Pee Wee team. Perhaps they will drop out of the top 10 (since they clearly haven't transitioned from Boys II Men).
Let us bid them adieu with a little tune:
Although we've come
To the end of the road
Still I can't let go
It's unnatural
You belong... not in any BCS Bowl game... ever.
You have one of the top Running Back prospects, though, in Greg Bryant, so good luck with that. And the ACC (a little bitter about that half-move though).
And before I forget, let me remind you, and Erin, that Clemson did beat LSU, who beat Alabama. Just saying...
Did anyone watch the high school prospects game a week or two ago? That was neat. And it was exciting to see some of the players commit live on tv. I thought for sure when Ebenezer Ogundeko, who was picking between Florida, Clemson, and Syracuse, began his selection with "University of..." that Florida was clearly the choice he was going to make... But when he said, "University of Clemson," my jaw dropped. My first thought was
WTF is a University of Clemson? YAY. Quickly followed by a, "I wonder if he can even spell Clemson." ... Surely he will be on Academic Probation in no time.
It's interesting how many players still have a list of 20 schools from which they are selecting. Surely they waive the application fee for college football students.
Stay tuned for news about commits, decommits (yes it happens for those of you who aren't familiar... we lost Robert Nkemdiche, who maybe turn my friendship with Erin south if he ends up going to Alabama... I'm shallow like that) and any other exciting facts or news.
