The Fave 5: Who Does #2 Work For?

5. Jarrett Stidham

Credit where credit is do. When Stidham came into the SEC and was heralded as one of the top quarterbacks in the conference instantly, I was more skeptical than most. He hadn’t proven his worth in the conference where “it just means more” yet so I was not willing to anoint him. After his performance in the Iron Bowl, I am now willing to eat a big bowl of crow (with BBQ sauce) and say that this guy is a top guy. Stidham’s legs and arm were extremely effective in taking what Alabama gave him. Now that he has tamed the beast, all Stidham has to do is beat Georgia again and he’s a playoff quarterback.

4. Beef

After we all got fat and happy feasting on turkey all weekend, Aqib Talib and Michael Crabtree reminded us all that this is America and in this country we like BEEF! This chain snatching, helmet punching, old school AFL brawl was just what these two tryptophan laden teams needed. It certainly woke the Raiders up and now they can actually get to playoffs; if their players can avoid ejection that is.

3. Only Alvin Kamara

On a day where no one on the Saints offense was even close to their “A-game,” Alvin Kamara kept the team alive and in the game against the Rams. His 11 touches for 188 all-purpose yards included a spectacular 74 yard touchdown run. The only good things to happen for the Saints on offense in Week 12 involved Kamara touching the ball, proving that he is not just a shoe-in for Rookie of the Year, but also the team MVP.

2. Rocky Top

After word broke that the hiring of Greg Schiano as the next coach at Tennessee was imminent, Vols fans took to social media and the streets to have their voices heard as they collectively cried out; “OH HELL NO!” Most fans cited Schiano’s ties to the disgusting practices he may or may not have known about while coaching at Penn State as reason for Tennessee to avoid this hire. Some people are sickened by Vols fans and boosters for smearing Schiano’s name without evidence about what he knew or did not know while coaching for Paterno and the cult in PA. I say, it was not exactly smearing a man’s name. As far as I am concerned, if you were on staff while Sandusky piddled, you are guilty by association. I do not fault any university for keeping their distance from anyone with remote ties to that case. Vols fans deserve applause for taking to the streets and telling their administration, “we can do better!”

Upset U does it again! Two years and two number 2’s take a big two against the Panthers. Now hopefully Miami can bounce back like Clemson did!
