I liked the quote too. The fact that he still clearly loves the University despite all he's been through says a lot. I was critical last year too, with reason, but I never booed. Booing your own player who gives it his all everyday is completely classless. They need our support.
I think Crompton has all the talent, I just don't know if he is capable of getting the reads down and keeping his nerves in check. That will determine a lot. It is also a much different situation than 1998, b/c Tee and the receivers (Price, Copeland) had been in the same system for a few years before 98.
