"They had great team success here, won a national championship, and came here when this was not the sexy place to be. We were 7-6. So I guess that class is the one that's closest to my heart, all right, because those guys bought in when they just believed that we were going to be able to be successful and they could make a great contribution to helping us be successful."

That about sums it up for me :twothumbs:

On paper, its this year and its not even close... but in practice its 2008 and its not even close... these young guys have alot to live up to be better than 2008. Thats the class that started the dynasty, so many amazing players. Julio Jones, Marcell Dareus, Mark Barron, Courtney Upshaw, Mark Ingram, Robert Lester, Terrence Cody, Jerrell Harris, Dont'a Hightower, Barrett Jones, Michael Williams, Damion Square, and Brad Smelley. Thats an amazing array of talent right there.

Agree.

My only additional comment would be its too early to judge the last few classes, ask me again in 4 years and I might have a different answer.

That's why I didn't vote for '14. Four years from now...Probably will.
