Much Love for GT
ESPN.com is jumping on the Calvin Johnson/GT bandwagon.
Bruce Feldman puts Calvin Johnson as his Midseason Hot 100 (insider pass needed). Philip Wheeler comes in at number 18!!! Dogs fans have to wait until number 46 to get their first player. Troy Smith, Garrett Wolfe, Alan Branch and Adrian Peterson round out the top five. Other notables: Brady Quinn (7), Erik Ainge (10), and Chris Leak (27). Ohio State, Michigan, and LSU had two players each in the top 20.
Feldman writes of Calvin:
"The most gifted player in college football, Johnson is like the superman player you create on video football games when you want to toss reality aside. He isn't in the most favorable situation for a receiver yet still has 35 catches and 8 TDs and makes Tech a threat to knock off anyone. "
The website's midseason ACC review gives Calvin the MVP and makes GT the favorite to win the Coastal Division, while the Midseason GT Team Review (insider) gives much love to Reggie for playing more consistantly. Is that a kiss of death??

Past history tells us that we shouldn't get too excited too fast. Hopefully the players have the same mindset. The Mark Bradley column in the AJC was a ringing endorsement for GT and CJ....just hope it doesn't go to his head. I wonder if Bruce Feldman will get a letter from the Governor for not hyping more Pups.
Mark Bradley is the consumate pro-UGA writer, right? I'm sure he doesn't write this without thinking that it might go to Reggie's head and screw things up.
