🏈 Now that we know that Jalen is declining the Shirt, lets talk about his 1st-rate CLASS, and really, his testicular fortitude (Tua presser)

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

Can't really put it into words. Saban had high praise for Jalen in his post-game presser Saturday, and the conference call before hand, the midweek presser last week also.

Tua was made available for media questions today, and when asked about Jalen, here's what he said



Epitome of class right there, with brazen steel cajones to so graciously, gladly, and actively support the guy that just replaced you.

Quite honestly, the old coach/firey competitor/passionate sports junky in me is trying to leak out thru my eyes a little.

Is there really a better story of TEAM-over-self out there?

EVER?

I'm struggling to think of one at the moment.

We love you, Jalen.

SOLID individual.

Only thing you can control in life is how you respond to things.

I'm still of the opinion his dad was misquoted/misunderstood during his interview.

 

[Bamabww]

Jalen will do well in life. @planomateo, I used to tell my scouts that same thing and would add “ and the way you respond shows what kind of person you are most of the time. “

@TerryP warned us that the guy that did that piece was more or less a POS and baited his Dad for quotes and then gleaned the information he wanted to stir the pot and get the attention turned this way.

@Sgt. Lincoln Osiris I feel the same way brother!! Jalen put the TEAM way above himself and is the epitomy of class!! I may have gotten some dust in my eye.

Both these kids have carried themselves well since they got here. Tua couldn't speak last season and he now gets his spot in the limelight at the midway point of his sophomore season. No one can say he hasn't waited his turn through this whole process. Class is class, you don't need a dictionary for either guy.

Phoebe O'Hara..........You're not getting mellow on me, are you?

In this day and age when this type of selflessness and team first mentality is displayed it should be pointed out and praised to the enth degree .. so proud of him and it shows the upbringing he has received from his parents , even though what his father said earlier in the year . That was just a lil raw emotion from a father who loved his son ...

I’m so glad he stayed. I hope he gets to play more maybe in different roles. He is too good of a football player to hang out too much on the sidelines.

wonder what defenses would do if Coach put them both in at the same time...

 

[mando]

wonder what defenses would do if Coach out them both in at the same time...

They would have to stop the game and let the ambulance onto the field to pick up the opposing D coordinator and haul him off to the Hospital....

 

[Bamabww]

wonder what defenses would do if Coach put them both in at the same time...

Wonder if he's saving that for LSU?
