Andrew Carter (Sentinel) Amazing Profile Of Greg Reid

This guy

really is something special. And it means so much more when there’s something behind what’s left on the field. Andrew really did a great job on this one.

I’m not sure where he finds the time, because this took some serious investigation.

Of course I think the same about some of y’all (Bud) too.

Excellent

Very good job. I am glad Greg is able to succeed and able to prove his doubters wrong. And I am glad he does it FSU.

Great story and a great young man.

Nothing more to be said other than I need a garnet #5 jersey.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.

"Superman Returns"

It’d HAVE to be better than the 2006 movie.

I got a look at the screenplay:

Reid: These pooch punts are funny. First you hate ‘em, then you get used to ’em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That’s institutionalized.

Lamarcus Joyner: Shit. I could never get like that.

Eddie Gran: Oh yeah? Say that when you been returning kicks as long as Greg has.

Reid: Goddamn right. They kick it out of bounds enough, and that’s exactly what they take. The punts that count, anyway.

Greg seems like a great kid. The things he went through, he easily could be locked up somewhere right now but he chose to do the right thing. I am proud to call him a Seminole. Thank God for Ms Bridges too lol.

An amazing and heartfelt journey...

I sure hope G5 gets another return for a TD this Saturday in Norman (if those Sooners even dare to kick his way). What a guy!

I hope this article allows us to see past his showmanship and become a fan of the person who is Greg Reid.

reminds us where some of these guys come from

and what some have had to overcome to get there….heart-warming and hope it has a wonderful happy ending.

Wow

The Lord works in mysterious ways. It’s as if he was destined to lead FSU back to prominence.

Reid

LJ and Reid together. We need to get the tamdem a cool name “The Oddsbusters”

by nole34 on Sep 9, 2010 8:31 AM EDT reply actions

True

I remember reading the article about him during the recruiting season. Great ambassador’s for the school as well. Unlike the the Florida Jailors who have the most arrests, maybe we can shed the name crimnoles with some of the current players.

by Mateo9399 on Sep 9, 2010 9:27 AM EDT up reply actions

We have to keep Criminoles

Because we’re stealing some sod from Norman Saturday.

I f you listen to Greg Reid you can tell he's smart

(I wish all of our players sounded as clear headed). He just needed the right environment and support to see it himself. I hope he continues to apply himself in the classroom and gets his degree. Although he’s electric as a punt returner and seems to be getting better at corner, he’s still only 5’8", and a long NFL career may be a longshot.
