one of the most insightful stories I’ve read on Myron, what a guy! Good luck at the combine!

I mean, to have civil rights leaders bow to him and call him “The Future of Black America.” Nope. No pressure there at all.

True or not in his own mind, it may very well be true in a factual context. PARTICULARLY if he does well in the NFL. Simply by his academic/athletic success alone, he would shatter the stereotype that successful athletes can’t be academics. Race nonwithstanding. But that Black America comment…

It would be crushing to see him fail. At anything.

…the best part about the Rolle v. Tebow thing is that he (and his coach, unfortunately) doesn’t go through all of the attention seeking hyperbole that the Pope and St. Timmay regularly participate in.

By the same token, the media (especially hack sportswriters) haven’ t given FSU enough credit for producing people like Myron Rolle, Garrett Johnson, Joe O’Shea, and Caroline Alexander; instead they still love to harp on any negatives when it comes to our University. I think the University should throw Rolle and Johnson’s names out there everytime someone sings the praises of St. Timmay and his degree in Basketweaving.

You cannot buy this type of exposure. No amount of marketing in the world will generate the type or amount of attention that Myron Rolle has and will continue to bring to FSU. The great thing is that is has substance and staying power. It is real, not manufactured.
