RollBamaRoll in the WSJ

by Lawboy on Sep 12, 2008 10:59 AM CDT

ed- bumped from the fanposts. all your media mention are belong to us.

The Weekend Journal section of today's Wall Street Journal has an article on page W4 on how YouTube highlight videos are making stars out of recruits before they ever play a down for their team. One such player mentioned, unsurprisingly, is the Tide's own Julio Jones.

Most all of us have seen #8's high school highlights where he manhandles opposing defenders like a schoolyard hero. But the article makes particular note of the (now banned) pre-season practice video where Julio, "scores by catching a long pass and stiff-arming all-conference safety Rashad Johnson." You know the one. The article goes on to note:

One commenter on the blog Roll Bama Roll wrote: "That play will eventually be part of Julio's Heisman montage."

So congratulations "pantsfucious," you're famous. So go buy a copy and tell mom and dad that your extensive knowledge of Crimson Tide football has resulted in you being quoted by the Wall Street Journal, albeit without specific credit. I, for one, would have loved to see the word "pantsfucious" in the WSJ.

I Hope Not

Alabama has more national championships than any other school.

Alabama has no Heisman winners.

I do not believe that these are unrelated facts. I think that, rather than (like many other schools) promoting our players into Heisman trophy winners because we win games, that we won so many games because we did not promote individual players.

Nice

Job. Can I have your autograph pantsfucious. That was a pretty freakin sweet catch and stiff. RTR Another Saturaday is almost here.

Auburn fans are like slinkys... not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

I can now die happy and virtually penniless

I’ve always wanted to die an ironic death. So, short of drowning in Angelina Jolie’s mother’s milk, this is a very close second. In your face, poetic justice!
