I haven't watched Rolando yet...

…but how impressive is Mike Johnson? He seems more mature than any poster on this blog…even old farts like me (I know, you’re shocked). That guy doesn’t need the NFL, even though he’s easily a pro-caliber player. He’ll do well in whatever he does.

Anyway, he almost makes it sound like the O-line will be Fluker-Johnson-Vlachos-Warmack-Davis. Carpenter performed so well there, it still appears he should have the starting LT spot in September, but I loved hearing Johnson’s comments about Fluke…and Warmack. Let’s start this thing already, yo.

I thought the same thing

about Johnson. He’s got class.

..let me paraphrase…

I loved Mikes reaction to the “UT” question…“we don’t pay attention to things outside our program”…in other words..“UT who?”

I just...

…watched Rolando’s interview. It’s amazing how he’s still has two seasons to play (potentially) and is already so good. Apparently, right now we’re just focused on summer workouts….

im watching it right now...

I like how they both have talked about the quality of guys that Saban is recruiting…not just talent wise but also character.

They both talk like this team might be something very special. Quiet confidence.

I've

gotten that impression too, going all the way to Spring, even A Day. You could tell Saban is starting to really like where the program is going.

Unrelated question

Any news on what numbers the freshmen will wear? I know, I’m a nerd about how players look.

Rolando's answer to the Auburn question

was so classy. I continue to be impressed by the quality of guys we have.
