Way to go Ro!
People have been comparing him to Derrick Thomas for a while, and they now have one more thing in common.
Fumbles. It was always Fumbles
Great Job
Well deserved. Should be worth a few 100k extra in guaranteed money.
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.
Congrats to Ro...
glad to see one of the most outstanding defensive players in our history given his rightful acknowledgment. Few play with his level of intelligence.
One down, one more to go!

I wonder how long it’s going to be before he makes it back to the Capstone as a coach. Clearly he’s got some years of playing on Sunday to get through first, but that’d be great, wouldn’t it?
I'm wrong all the time.
ro as coach and ozzie as AD...
ohhhhhhh… i like that.

Considering his reaction to other players trying to give Coach Saban a Gatorade bath
it seems like he is already getting some coaching practice in. Ro is one of the big reasons I don’t worry about the team getting a big head and not staying focused, I don’t think he would let them.
I hope Coach Saban's ready...
If we win the national championship, we’re gonna dunk him with A LOT more than just Gatorade. I don’t know what, but it’s going to be EPIC. I just hope we don’t go overboard and throw lava on him. We want a few more years of winning before we do that!

Lava? Really?
I’d kinda like to honor a non-scalded coach at midfield at halftime on the 40th anniversary of his coming to T-town (when he’s like 95 years old, or so).
; )
I bleed crimson and white...I puke Vol puke orange. RTR
Excellent job, Ro!

Good for him
Nice to see him rewarded for his talent and impact on the field.
"So I want everybody to think here for a second, how much does this game mean to you? 'Cause if it means something to you, you can't stand still. You understand? You play fast! You play strong! You go out there and dominate the man you're playing against, and you make his ass quit! That's our trademark! That's our M.O.... as a team! That's what people know us as!" - Coach Nick Saban before the 2008 LSU game.

Go Ro!! You deserve it!
Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world.

How classy is that?
