AJ McCarron and Starla Story

[WhiteMamba]

Another thread for AJ that shows how big of a heart the guy has.

Rooting for AJ!

Please dont merge this with the other AJ thread til everyone gets a chance to see it.... Thank you.

This one puts life and football into perspective and displays what a real man is about.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Im sure a lot of you know about it already, but for those who dont....

Amazing.

Worth watching again and again and again. If integrity still existed for Heisman consideration, AJ would have won hands down. A sad reflection on today's society.

I listened to it on the way home the other day and had to google search, and watch it as soon as I got home. Really a sweet, caring, kid.

If the actual definition of what it is to be a Heisman Trophy winner was actually upheld when they cast votes he would have already had one.

I am sure Winston will sell more jerseys in the NFL.... So there is that....

Yes she is. Any father who watches this and doesnt have all the best thoughts and wishes for AJ is lacking quite a bit of heart.

I had not seen or heard of this. Thanks, it only reinforces my admiration for AJ. He'll do well in life, no matter what his football career does. He's in a class all by himself.

Dammit Mamba.

Must. Not. Tear Up.

Guy is very special in this day of athletes with attitudes. He exemplifies what a man should be all about. I wish the best for him in his future endeavors no matter what he does.

Roll Tide.

being the best football player also is part of the criteria. it would have helped aj if he had been one of the 3 best players on his team.

Saw this back when it was first aired. Definitely worth another watch!! What a great kid AJ is and what tough little 'Bama fan Starla is!!

Where is that stated in what I posted, directly from the Heisman site ? The pursuit of excellence, with integrity, stands out in my mind.

 

[Mike30142]

I'm actually pulling for Auburn to keep the trophy in the state, but folks like sakau, who likes to ride sec coattails makes it hard.

And Nick Saban is going to Texas right?

He's the same guy who said Saban was going to Texas.

I'll refrain from saying what I'm really thinking, in respect to the good Auburn fans...

The bold will answer your question.

it doesn't say best football player or most outstanding football player

 

[FSUmanager]

Actually it does IF you add the word THE to the bold like this.

The word THE would indicate the best or most outstanding football player. Or as in singular.


Edit: I thought he should have won it last year. That being AJ. But he did not. AJ seems to be a nice person and is a good football player. Good for him to get some props.
