did it tick anyone else off that RJF was allowed on stage with Flynn yet other SR's like Dorsey and Stetlz and Ali werent up there?

No offense to RJF, he played a great game and was DMVP, but the kid has played in 2 games all season. He didnt deserve to be up there when it was just him and Flynn and Miles...that kind of pissed me off.

He was on there because he was the defensive MVP so no he deserved to be there.

I think he deserved to be up there, maybe others did too though.

Let me just add that I really think RJF has grown up because of this season...it looks like he has really taken responsibility for his mistakes and learned from them...I hope he stays on the field!

Did it piss you off when he blocked the field goal? Or maybe it was the QB hurries and run stopping that upset you?

The offensive and defensive MVP's go on stage.

Only reason was because he was Defensive Player of the Game. They even had little square marks for them to stand on.

So, though I would have liked to see other up there, I think it was well-scripted.

I think Fox requested that he be there.

I just thought it would be a good send off for your final game, winning the national title.

These guys put in 4-5 years, and in many cases(Dorsey, Steltz, Ali, and Hester) garnered All American and All SEC honors this year..

Like I said, RJF had a great game, but he is a Soph who couldnt even get his shite straight to play all season this year. They may not say it, but id bet it ticked someone off.

No, the thought really never crossed my mind. He won the defensive MVP. I guess they could have made him stand on the field and handed down the mike to him.

Not at all... Did you listen to his speech! The guy was tearing up! He was 100% genuine as far as what he said about regrets & pennance.

The guy deserved to be there! Without him we simply lose the game!

That's just how they do it. The MVP's and the coach go on the stage

they should have had the rest of the SR's up there though whether RJF was there or not..

Im not dogging the guy but 5 years of hard work trumps 1 game for a guy that couldnt even get on the field this year

thats what happens when your the MVP. I mean, should they have just tossed him his trophy from the stage??

RJF deserved to be up there obviously.

But Dorsey and those guys did too. The SECCG has it set up much better, where basically anyone who can fit on stage is allowed up there.

Did Flynn and RJF even get trophies? I didn't see them on TV.

I know he was the MVP. Im not stupid dude.

It would have been a classy move for whomever was involved in the ceremony to bring the players up there that are the reason we were playing in that title game. That's all
