It's sad no one wants to comment on this kid's accomplishments. For a true freshman, that wasn't heavily recruited, he has done quite well in the SEC. If Houston Nutt can last 9 years, then Stan should be back next year to coach this young man. GO HOGS!!
GONZO…you're right on…Beverley was a great late recruiting period pickup. Probably the best one of the year for anyone. And he may end up being a job-saver for Stan.
And just so WE make the comment…thanks for all YOUR comments. We appreciate what you bring to the blog.
