I for one think SM99 set a good example. He was a catalyst for our team this year and had the swag that we needed when the tough part of the schedule hit. He played his arse off all year, was named SEC defensive linemen of the week twice and was a projected 1st round pick until we had our late minute flubs against Bama and Clemson. He was the most colorful personality on the team and was as intense as you could be on game day. He was a great player who was All-SEC and All-American and did all of it after coming back from a season-ending knee injury in 2010. You can't come back from those types of injuries to be one of the best in the country if you aren't putting in the work. Just getting back on the field takes a lot and he not only did that, but was a premiere DE in the the NCAA.

This is spot on... Anyone who thinks otherwise is a dumbarse. One of my fav tigers of all time. His intensity and emotional presence will be missed.
