How excited does this press conference make you?

Paraphrasing:
"The Hawaii team that went 0-18 was made up of the same 22 guys that went 9-4 the next year"

GO SMU - GO JJ!

As well he shouldn't be.... got to keep him level headed.

This interview made me more excited than the PC. Especially when he talked about recruiting kids - talking about getting them into the National Football League, and then battling with the likes of the Texases the A&M's and the Oklahomas. That was awesome. Loved to hear him come right out and say it.

Of course as stated earlier, "the same 22 kids" bit was excellent.

Yes. June came across as more than I could ever expect in the interview. He is going to be a hell of a coach for us. He knows what he has and what he is up against and what he needs to do.

THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Thanks.. I went online here in ATL and caught the tail end. He said what I told my son... once area players see they can get to the NFL with his office--they will come. Maybe 1 or 2 bluechips but a lot more tier 2 players with is a cut above whats coming now. No respect to our current set of Ponys......
