This is what we're dealing with folks:

Cordarelle Patterson said: "It was an awesome year. Things came up big for me. I didn't expect any of this coming from junior college. I didn't even think I was going to play that much. I just came here and worked hard every day, and good things happened."

My question is, what good things happened? We had one of the worst teams in memory. We lost a coach. Our probation got extended. Attendance was down -- way down. We got whipped by Vanderbilt. The season is over and you still can't get open half the time. Tell me Mr. Patterson, what good things happened?

He's one of the most talented football players I've ever seen. But, when he had two touchdowns called back in two weeks for taunting, he clearly showed he was not out there for the team. He'll be right at home in the NFL, where everyone is in it for himself, and he will make a lot of money. Maybe the right coach can instill a TEAM concept in the players. That concept is certainly lacking now.
