So BNA and I were walking back to our tailgate spot after the game, and this tall dude walks up behind us. He caught my attention, because anyone who's as tall as me automatically catches my attention. Turned my head, and lo and behold, it's Alex McCallister.
We talked to him for a couple minutes while he was walking back to his dorm, he said his foot was doing better, but not well enough to play against FSU. Said he'll be trying as hard as he can to get well enough to play Bama. Also said it's not an ankle sprain, but a torn ligament on the inside of his foot. It's basically just a pain tolerance thing at this point, and he's hoping not to have to get surgery until after the season.
Asked him about Bullard, and all he said was, "Bullard balled out there today, but he's fine. He just had an MCL thing." So I'm guessing it was a minor sprain or something like that.
Said the loss was "a tough one," then paused for a second and said, "two points," and shook his head. Really hope there isn't a divide between the offense and defense heading into this week's game. It's already going to be a difficult enough game without the two units feuding with each other.
Anyway, that's about it. I was really impressed with the kid. Gave a firm handshake (always a good sign), and was well-spoken and extremely polite. He could also put on another 25-30 pounds without even trying.
