Is looking great vs. Cowboys tonight. Has scored 2 TD in first half so far. This kid has a bright future. Too bad things didn't work out for him after Kiffin left.

I guess for me it's kind of bitter sweet to see a former Kiffin recruit having success. I was disappointed when Bryce left, but I can't blame him for not wanting to play under Doofus. A lot of people called BB a bust and some said he was the biggest bust in UT history! Well, he is proving a lot of people wrong and definitely making the most of his opportunity. Good for him.:good!:
To heck with Bryce Brown and his "camp" (Bryce, his Dad, and his handler/agent). They successfully made his recruitment a circus, got him noticed as a freshman, then basically refused to play for KSU.
They got what they wanted. They basically circumvented the collegiate game and got Bryce to the NFL to make money relatively injury free.
I can actually see why they would want it this way, but what I don't get is what makes them so special that they don't have to earn it the same way everyone else does.
It didn't work out because Brown wasn't interested in it working out. He just wanted to get to the NFL as soon as possible (I'll wait patiently for the various "I'd do the same if I were in his shoes" responses). The fact is, some of these kids are happy to play in college and hope for an NFL career, and some are just users who are in it for themselves. Without knowing him personally it would wrong of me to clearly put him in the second camp, but that's what his actions led me to believe.
