    Well, for Jake this is good news. Gotta love any AA lineman. Unfortunately, Jake was also informed by some members of GATORCOUNTRY that he could not officially accept this award as he was only a three star coming out of Ocala.:eek:
    This difficult situation was demanded by protocols designed to protect the integrity of the rating system. Very sad.:rolleyes: Rules are rules.

    What is the criteria again for getting in the ring of honor- is being a two time first team AA a way to get in that ring? That would certainly incentivize me to return if that is the case.

    My first reaction was "are they talking about Century Tower? Is he going to make the first brick fall?"

    It would be amusing to go back and read the posts that most certainly contained much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and bitter criticism of Napier, after we signed a three star lineman.

    They mentioned this several times on the broadcast and even showed a picture of several bricks
