Killz will love this.

Surprised he found time with his busy nightlife. Stuff not that impressive when beard can match everything. Side note: what a weak stadium.

I think Kyle field is pretty sick personally

Lol. Yes it is.

I don't know how long ago the "superman" celebration was considered over-done, but these guys definitely pushed it waaaay past that if it wasn't there yet.

wow pretty cool

Overkill on the Superman celebration.

I might get killed for this, but after seeing this video I think JM is probably a pretty cool kid. Exciting to watch, seems like an "average guy."

It'll be interesting to see what he is like in two years. I predict the ESPN/CBS coverage of him the next two years will be very Tebow-like. We'll see how the kid handles all of the attention and @$$ kissing.

Until then, beat AL, LSU and GA, kid.

A literally nauseating amount of "bro-ing" going on in that video...particularly with the superman crap.

He'll be the next Danny Bonaduce, Leif Garrett, Cory Haim, Dana Plato, Todd Bridges, Lindsey Lohan, et al.

I completely get what you are saying, but I think Tebow isn't an apt comparison. Tebow was worshiped (pun intended) for his on-field play, his incredible leadership, and his undying (and very public) faith. Yes, overkill, but that's what the media does (see: Te'o, Manti).

I think a better comparison, personally, is Cam Newton. Incredible, game-changing athlete, fun-loving, not necessarily a good person. Because they were/are both so gifted, the media overlooks certain things. The only difference is that Johnny will be hyped (and eventually scrutinized) for at least 2 more years, while Cam was in the overhype machine for only a year.

And fwiw, that kid is an unbelievable football player. If he continues to work (partying doesn't stop many great athletes from having great college careers (see: Ray Malauga, or any great USC/Miami player ever), they sky is the limit. My Lord he tore apart that OK defense single-handedly, and was phenomenal against Bama as well...

Agreed. Too brodacious for my tastes.

LOL...you should remove scUM from your name and just go by Hater. I kid I kid...relax.

Oh look, a giant douche throwing a football with a fatty mcfatterson.

Well, I just saw the video, and when I read this I thought the guys were doing the Superman dance after made basket, which I thought was pretty friggin' weird to do. But now I know what you guys mean LOL.

And yes, OVERKILL on the Superman and the exact same fist pump every single time. Mix it up fellas. Otherwise, pretty cool stuff. I actually liked the Bama play that the fat dude with a beard trying to cover his fat face did. Not an easy shot and a funny simulation.

But the reason I quoted my post is because the Cam Newton comparison makes even more sense to me now, considering Cam does that stupid Superman thing all the time (even when his team is losing). Cam never misses an opportunity to bring attention to himself (see: Lewis, Ray)...
