Not the first time JT has played against Jameis?

Apparently they battled it out as 11 year-olds in an Alabama Pop Warner game. This article has a lot of cool information I had never heard before. For instance, supposedly FSU offered Justin as a QB.
Definitely worth a read.

Cramps forced Thomas from the game, and that helped Winston's team pull off the victory

Great article. Glad it has worked out for both young men. Hoping that we will have a few more Winston/Thomas battles in the championship game before he's done.

Winston is long gone after this year. I'm sure he's ready to be gone, and I know FSU is probably ready to cut ties as well.

Wow, that is probably one of the top articles I read this week. We all knew his strong ties to Alabama, but I had no idea how weak his ties were to us. Impressive job by coach kelly and this staff. He truly is a generational player!

Wow this is quite a story and is almost movie like. It even adds to the feeling of a special season for this team that I have had since early this season. The Georgia game ending, only added to this feeling.

We are going to the playoffs. Sting the 'Noles!!! Swam 'em!!

How did I not know that Thomas's middle name is Bryant and he was given it in honor of the Bear?

I'd be lying if I said I didn't throw up in my mouth a little after reading that. I guess no one is perfect.

I actually thought it was pretty cool because he plays at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Good article. Should be a fun game tonight. Lots of interesting ties and subplots.
