I like Joel and think he's a great interviewer. I do feel bad for the beating he took in the B12 CG in 2005. The concussion he sustained apparently put him in the hospital for weeks after that 70-3 beatdown that Vince and the NC team laid on his team. I was at the game with my kids, and I've never seen anything like it, let alone a conference championship game.
My understanding is that any player coming in and not on an athletic scholarship needs to be accepted to The University like any other academic student. Not that that's not possible, but would typically be the exception. Apparently Bert Auburn falls into this category.
Whenever I saw an AD video I thought, what a mature, sincere, and responsible young man he appeared to be. Of course I don't know what goes on behind the camera, but I never saw any indication of immaturity from him. The only thing that took some time was for him to buy into downfield blocking which he eventually did.
