ESPN Magazine and JC

[bammanmr 0]

There is a very good article about JC in this week's ESPN the magazine if anyone is interested.

Can you give us some type of overview of it please?

They discuss his struggles over his last few years and how Borges has been able to help him pull it all together.

I was actually shocked to see something on Auburn in the magazine, due to the hype we didn't live up to last season. There's been a ton of usc/ou press in the mag., but this is the first Auburn mention in a long time.

It's different than SI. If you like the inside stuff more than just who won and why, its a good magazine. If you get the free 30 EPSN.com Insider trial, you get 2 free issues. Try it out.

I have subscribed to SI for about 20 years now (damn, I am getting old) and I recently received a free subscription to ESPN. It is decent, but, in my opinion, doesn't have the in-depth features that SI does. I will not be renewing my subscription to it when it comes up.

It has a lot of tidbits and charts and lists that feed the ESPN low attention span mentality. It also is a little "hipper" in its lingo and sometimes I don't know what the hell they are talking about (damn, I AM getting old.) It is also a BIG magazine that I find unwieldy at times.

The article on JC is worth reading. It talks a lot about his relationship with Al Borges. Very interesting, but Borges insytalled his style while keeping the old AU terminology the same. It also talked about what a smart kid JC is and how he has preservered over the years with 4 OCs. Borges was very complimentary of the coaching JC has had in the past, but also said that his fundamentals were a bit lacking. They got that fixed and everything else fell into place. Some good quotes from Ronnie and Junior Rosegreen also.
