Comments from Football Media Day
From AccessNorthGa.com:
“This is the most fun and most rest I’ve had,” Croom said Wednesday during the team’s media day. “I was so glad when football season started. I can actually go in (my office) and watch football film, and not have anybody bothering me. You don’t know how much of a treat that is.”

“He’s taking the attention away from himself and placed the attention on the football program, the university and our town,” [Kyle] York said. “I can’t put a price on all the positives that have come as a result of his ability to charm. He’s very sincere. … He’s such an honest, encouraging man, and the players have benefited so much from that.”
…
“On a scale of one to 10, I’d give (Croom) a 12,” [Jerious] Norwood said. “He has changed our attitudes and our work ethic. People were doing their own thing, divided (under Sherrill). … This time, it’s more of a family.”

“I’m sure not going to flunk me, I’ll tell you that,” Croom said [when asked to grade his performance], laughing. “But I have given every day my best. That, I can say without hesitation. I have not cheated this university one day.”
…
“Whenever [the NCAA ruling] does come out, I hope it comes prior to our game with Tulane,” Croom said. “We will have a victory party because at least it will be over and I will feel like we have won.”
