| Ingram rushed for 144 yards versus LSU Photo by: al.com |
As many of you already know, I posted this letter before the college football season started. Three days later, Mark Ingram suffered a knee injury that forced him to miss the first two games of the season. Since I've spent most of my life in "The Natural State," some of my friends have asked me to post this column before the Alabama vs Arkansas game this weekend. But still, I don't care about the Hogs and was probably going to repost it anyway. The letter is still in original form with a few extra pictures.
Dear Mr. Ingram,
My name is Carter Bryant, and first let me say you are one of the few truly outstanding individuals in college football.
For the last two years, I have been a credentialed member of the media covering LSU Tigers athletics. My favorite game I have ever covered was LSU vs Alabama in Tuscaloosa last year.
In the postgame presser of that game, you handled questions with grace and humility, proving that you are truly a team first player.
Later on down the road you would be crowned the only Heisman winner in Alabama's illustrious history. You did this while avoiding the “Heisman National Championship Curse” and leading your team to the title for the first time since '92.
But I write this note to say something that you will not like or want to hear.
