Do you recognize the ex Ram in this pic...

[Selassie I]

Let me try and set the stage with this.

I deal with a large number of adult students everyday on my job. Yesterday a student comes into my office and says, "Holy Shit, you're a Ram fan?". I've got a shelf full of Ram stuff. So I'm figuring he wants to ask me about the Bradford trade. I'm like Hell YES I'm a Ram fan.

So this guy pulls out his phone and asks me if I know who this is and shows me this pic.....

Right away I say Alex Barron! Hahahahahahahhaaaaaaa


So this student is one of Alex's best friends. Alex was in his wedding (where the pic was taken).

We had a long talk about Alex. It was really cool hearing some of the very positive stories about him that I never would have known. I may share some of them if he doesn't want to come on here and do a Q & A... I asked my student to tell Alex that we'd like to invite him to do one here at ROD.

I'll let you know.

The only thing Alex Barron didn't have was the desire to be great.

Well in that case, Barron was a remarkable teammate. Great guy.
And that rumor about his start-up landscaping company? That's false. I'll bet $10 he doesn't work on yards.

That last play Alex had with Dallas was a topic at one point. Ouch. LOL

Cool story, thanks. Damn he is large. That pic has a certain Pulp Fiction vibe.

And just so you know,,, my student is probably at least tippin the scales at 260.

God bless Alex Barron

They both look so happy to be in a wedding.

Of course it could be the matching outfits that has them unhappy.

 

[Stranger]

how cool. I would love to hear these stories.

 

[badnews]

Damn. That's a lot of fabric.

I remember screaming BAAAAAAARRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!! at the tv when he would committ his usual False Start and kill drives. He looked good on paper. Also a prime example of why drafting purely off need is a bad idea.

 

[CodeMonkey]

Damn. That's a lot of fabric.

They had to commission Abdul the tent maker.

Look, AB should have had a longer career; but he wasn't as bad at RT as we "remember".

Yes he was.

Only John St. Clair can make me less happy.

AB didn't live up to expectations. But...over his final 4 seasons - here - he only missed 1 start. That's a lot of starts.

Damn right he didn't miss a lot of starts. He had more starts than the rest of the line. Sometimes twice as many.

Damn. That's a lot of fabric.

 

[DeaconJ]

Looks like a pair of valet parking dudes....

Alex had his locker retired at FSU this year. He collected major hardware for the mantel while in college.
