No and none of us are. This time last season we had Fannin slotted at RB  and Caudle and Trotter were mentioned either/or at QB but Tyrik Rollinson was the buzz along with Dyer. We had no idea whether Savage would ever suit up again or Etheridge contribute anywhere close to the level he had before. And Bates was still a SS. I think most of us thought realistically we had a shot at seven or eight wins with a favorable schedule. I said ten with a bowl victory and knew it was a stretch.

And I don't think we expected much more even when Newton showed up initially. We had a veteran OL, Josh Bynes and a workable group on the D-line but no true standouts. Special teams were a total embarrasment outside of Byrum and a choice of two punters. In fact , we had far less going for us with unknown quantity Cam Newton than LSU does with Mettenburg. Hell he only has to be half a Cam. What's even more mystifying to me is the transformation of Nick Fairley. Who would have bought (or even leased) that guy a Chrysler 300 based on his body of work prior to spring practice?

I'm just glad we paid Cam.  Without the money, he would have suxed.

I will reserve all predictions until close to the season when I find out the actual numbers of addition into the Alabama Penal League.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
