///////re read pachyderm post youll see a comment about a head butt and the recless talk is about calling out croom . a head butt will get you a penalty if caught in a game,not good for your beloved tide, jj comments sound good and make us swell with pride but he has probably inspired croom and his players as well,again not good for your beloved tide in that you dont give them added inspiration to beat you. and last time i checked state is an improving team. they are not the team we saw at the beginning of the year. and us? well we arent making great strides either. so dont go and make it tougher on yourselves.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I was always taught:
1. You keep you mouth shut before the game.
2. You kick their butt during the game.
3. You shake their hand, smile, and ask "Any questions?" after the game.

But things have changed. JJ has talked the talk. Now I just hope he walks the walk.

////things have changed for sure. i cant say for the good. as far as walking the walk,i just hope jj is walking after the game,yes things have changed. this is the slippery slope that leads to miami type brawls. the trend is not your friend in this case. its a team sport and the team will have to shoulder the load from jj's smack. they need to worry about bama and how to get better . rather than worry about croom.its water under the bridge.jj is a huge talent but it appears that he needs to have more disapline on and off the field

My God! You guys are getting on your high and mighty soapbox and criticizing a guy that will and has bled for this team and school. I doubt a player that has no class would go to a coaching staff and ask them to put him wherever in order to help the team. He put his own ego aside for THE TEAM. The crap about the headbutt is really getting tiresome. HE did it, whatever the reason. LET'S MOVE ON, not keep needling him because he got a little emotional on one isolated occassion.
 
It takes a coward to tuck your tail and run like coach Croom
did and I really do admire Jimmy Johns for standing up for the
University of Alabama.

I am also proud of him for asking the Bama fans to get as
loud as they can and that he wants BDS to be completely
full.

GO! BAMA! GO!
BBEAT THE HELL OUT OF MSU!!!!
Coach Croom is just mad because he does not have a very good recruiting system. Actually he and his staff are just now learning how the SEC recruits. Mississippi Players who are use to winning seek out Programs like Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and many others. Mississippi schools have not come close to winning anything in over 40 years. Having a few good years really isn't a selling point when you are recruiting in the SEC.

he put his own ego aside for the team? like its a big deal to do that? heck fella he is expected to do that, like every player on that team is expected to do that. he is accountable to his team mates to not do anything to cost his team during a game. the great players play under control. if jj wants to be a great player he will have to check his emotions.

I'm not sure what games, if any you've been too this year but believe it or not, Hawaii was extremely loud, La Monroe was loud for a while and when we needed to be, were loud during Duke. Now, I'm not saying we were as loud as we've been against UF last year or as loud as we will be against Auburn, but we were loud enough.
Ok, for the second time.

It's was not as loud as it could have been for Hawaii or La Monroe compared to last year's games and it won't be loud until Auburn. And we weren't haven't been loud enough all year. Having been to everygame last year, and this year I know what's loud and what's not. I went to Florida this year, that was pretty loud. Louder than we've been this year. And I went to Tennessee and it was real loud, louder than we've been this year also.

And people will be hung over and tired from getting up so early, I never said anything about the frats.

I love JJ and he is the future, but would some of you get off of Darby's back. JJ is averaging 4.4. yards per carry, while Darby is averaging 4.3. That is not much of a difference. I don't think we need to bash either one.

I just want JJ to back up his talk with a huge day against MSU. I think CMS will afford him the opportunity to do just that. Not by being the QB the entire game, but by letting him play much as he did last year.

JJ is a good young man who loves his school. My point was that alot of freshmen expect to be the man right away. The guy didn't win state titile in high school by being all about himself, and I DON'T view him in that light to this point in his Bama career. He didn't sugarcoat anything, and to me that's better than walking on eggshells. He stood back for a whole year and listened to one of Bear's Boys degrade the University.

Some of you who are getting all worked up about Johns' comments not being 'classy' crack me up.

The dude is plain FIRED UP. This kind of thing is contagious for the team, this is what the team needs more of. The team hasn't seemed fired up for most of these games.

Johns has every reason in the world to be motivated, and he IS. Don't dump on him because he's not 'politically correct'. He said exactly what everyone is thinking. He's calling a spade a spade, and some of you are objecting to it... crackin' me up, I tell you.

Sounds like "grady" from sanford and son made made #10 angry with his comments last year.

I probably wouldn't have said it but then again I'm not 19 years old. Some have said this will fire state up. first of all state is a crummy football team. I mean one of the worst football teams in the country. If the Tide loses to state, it will not be because #10 "expressed" himself. If we lose this one, we have bigger problems than #10 shooting his mouth off.

JJ is proud to be a Bama player. I couldn't ask for more. When he gets to be a Jr. and Sr. he is going to be a real leader on this team, as well as an unstoppable beast on the field...

And not to be a jerk or anything, but this whole "that's classy and that's not classy" thing is really, really tiresome.
