He is excellent at breaking down teams and translating information to the viewer in an easy to understand way.

[greasy_corner]

With Clint Stoerner there will mcelroy go back to being the heel for Arkansas? 

[Jim Harris]

I thought he did a good job, not great, the argument about parody in the league just seemed to drag on, but I think he will provide some good arguments with the others on network.  Just glad we have some rep on that network and it wasn't a dude named "BOOGER"!

parody. I like it. I laugh at it.

[SamBuckhart]

I like to see former HOGS doing well. He has the right look for network tv. Good luck, Clint. Wooo Pig!

parody/parity


same thing i suppose

Thanks for posting those.
I'm a homer when it comes to Stoerner (he and Mallett are my favorite Hog QB's).
But you can tell he's put in some work. Prepared, knowledgeable, speaks well and looks great on camera.
SEC Network should be pretty happy with him.

[Mike Irwin]

I still remember the first time I saw him. He was an incoming freshman and he came to campus a couple of days early. Somebody told me he was down on the game field walking around.

I went down from the top floor of the BAC to check him out. He flashed a big smile and stuck out his hand. We talked for several minutes.

I went back up to the media room and told a couple of the beat reporters that I'd just met the Hogs future starting quarterback. They asked me how I knew that. I said, Go talk to him. You'll see.

[hoglady]

Great story - thanks for sharing.

[wholehog92]

I'm surprised they didn't hire Keith Jackson.

Completely agree.

[ALLVOL]

I like him a lot. But I hope Clint cools down the homerism just a little. He's getting made fun of all over the Web. If any of you know him please pass it on so he can stay on air. He's a smart guy and could be really good.

I'm sure I'm gonna get slammed but being honest.

[Mike Irwin]

 Yeah, I'll be sure to pass along your concern.  He's probably terrified of the web.

Can you cite specific moments of his "homerism"?

I thought he was pretty objective.....

[Hog Nutt]

I caught some of him for the first time last night. I thought he did a good job.

[ALLVOL]

I should've known better than to bring it up here. It's like if I bring up a former Vol being a Homer on Vol sites.
So y'all are correct he is far and away the best ever and would NEVER be a Homer. Everyone would agree with him that Brandon Allen will have a much better year than Kyle Allen. My bad guys please forgive me.

Yes, that's much better.  Just don't let it happen again, Ok?   :razorback:

If he believes that, does that make him a homer? In assuming you don't believe that. Why turn this into an 8th grade lunchroom food fight with your teenage girl reaction?

Well, considering BA is starting and KA is not, he probably WILL have a much better year.

What? Sumlin named Kyle Allen Starter.

You're right dude. I'm just hating on Clint and having a bad reaction here. And it's just me.

[BorderPatrol]

For how long? He wont be starting after the first game.

[HawgWalsh]

I can not stand Ruscin!!  I will leave my details to the side but glad he got away from him.

[lefty08]

There you go again, have a conversation already. Is that the only thing he said that made you say that?

[ALLVOL]

I shouldn't have posted that. I should've known the reaction would be "it's a Vol hating on Clint" mentality. So just watch it and I think you will see. My guess is the producers will talk to him and all will be fine.

[ALLVOL]

What are you talking about? KA had a great season for the time he was in. Barring injury he may have the most passing yds in the SEC.

I'd slate him 2nd team all-sec if I jad a vote. Behind Prescott.

[lefty08]

I shouldn't have posted that. I should've known the reaction would be "it's a Vol hating on Clint" mentality. So just watch it and I think you will see. My guess is the producers will talk to him and all will be fine.

So he said 1 thing you didnt agree with about a QB who plays for Arkansas and he is a homer? But i think you are overreacting?  Look up the stats, I'm positive there are things BA did better than Kyle last year. It's not such a huge stretch as you say

[lefty08]

Also, if you ever listened to Clint on Arkansas sports radio you wouldn't make such an ignorant statement on 1 thing you heard. Clint is far from a homer

You're correct. BA is the next great SEC QB. And gave 1 example.
Look, I like the guy and think he could be really good. I (and many others). Think he was to eager to push Arkansas even when it wasn't logical. I understand that from him. But as a sports analyst you have to be unbiased because there's fans from all over watching. I HATE bammer with a white hot passion. But McClroy does a good job and is getting better.

I repeat again

You made a conclusion about him from ONE thing he said

ONE


ONE


ONE

Had he said the same thing about Dobbs you would have agreed, although Dobbs has not accomplished as much as BA

Don't feel bad, it's called being a fan and it's ok

I gave 1 example but there's more. Just watch it.
And if a former Vol had said that about Dobbs I'd have called him a homer. Had Clint said it about Dobbs I'd have laughed because there no base for that statement yet in his career.
Kind of like I laughed at Clint for defending Mattty Mauk being a good pick for 2nd team sec QB.

I have watched, and I think he has been more than unbiased

[hoglady]

ALLVOL - what was the context when you think Clint was being a homer?
Yesterday an Arkansas preview was played a number of times with Clint and Spears doing the preview.
Just wondering?
I could see where in an Arkansas preview Clint might perceived to be a homer.
But truthfully he's not and you will see that as the year goes on. He's the most truthful analyst around here and was consistently critical of Chaney last year - and BA at times.

[ALLVOL]

I guarantee you outside of Arkansas that's not what people think. And this is coming from a guy who likes Arkansas a LOT. So I guess opinions very.
Like I said, producers will fix him I'm sure and he'll have a good career. He's not the 1st (Spears used to be terrible) and won't be the last.

What I'm talking about was on SEC Now not the team preview. On team previews I get it. And like I said I believe he will be fine. I'm confident the producers and other analysts will visit or probably have and he will be fine.

[AugustaHog]

I think what so many non-Hog fans are missing here is that Clint has tons of insight into the Hogs depth chart and how guys have been performing all Fall camp.  He's going to talk about what his strengths are.  As he studies other SEC teams a little more, I think you will hear him getting a little more in-depth on some of the same things regarding other teams.  What I think is funny is that McElroy has been saying many of the same things (BA stuff and Brooks leading the SEC in tackling) as what Clint said and nobody gave him crap about it.  I don't think it is a ridiculous stance to take BA over Kyle Allen.  He's got experience and had a solid season last year.  He's not flashy but he is more likely to take care of the ball than KA will.  As far as ceilings go, KA clearly has a higher ceiling and better WR corps.  Our offense is designed opposite of theirs.  KA will have many more opportunities for the big play because their passing game is the bread and butter.  All this is assumption that KA remains the starter, which is up for debate.

I think most by a large % (out side of Arkansas) would put KA over BA.
As far as Clint, I agree that's what he knows. But as an analyst he has to know more about other teams and I'm sure in time he will. He came across defensive at times as well.
I'm confident he will be fine in time.

[ALLVOL]

I'm gonna get off this. Because I know what's gonna happen. Some on here know I'm a Hog fan as well and just making an observation. But I know where this is headed and I'm not gonna go there. 
I apologize for saying anything because I should've known better. 

[HogtoberFest]

I actually think this is what the network is looking for. They want guys who have knowledge of the game but also in depth knowledge of a certain team. It's the in depth information that the sec fan thirsts for, as well as hearing their team talked about positively.

Spears has done well and he is very much an LSU homer.  They will continue to expand on this format.

[Hog N Bama]

But but but your screename is ALLVOL.  Clint is a natural on the network. His points on BA and Brooks Ellis are valid.
Don't you think its rather odd that the Hogs were predicted to go 10-2 on the SEC Nwk yet not a single player was voted on the 1st team All SEC? Kinda odd that we shut out both LSU and OM last yr, yet they are higher than us in the preseason AP polls,.... both teams yet to pick a starting QB. Yeah I know Jonathan Williams is out for the season. We will prove everyone wrong on the field. Go Hogs!

[Mulberry Squeezins]

I've noticed he tends to be a little dramatic.  Typical Vol fan

In his defense, they posed an either/or question to him.  I guarantee they told him and GM to choose differing sides.  ESPN does this crap all the time.  Look at First Take.  They take opposing views all the time just to have an argument.  Another example was the Mark May/Lou Holtz jabbering back and forth.  It would be a lot less interesting if they just agreed all the time.  Sure the upside on Kyle is higher, but I think I'm pretty comfortable taking Brandon for this season.  Everybody has different opinions which makes the world a better place.

Your reply is a perfect example.  I don't have to read, nor do I want to read, all your posts, but the pattern is the same on the ones I have read.  When someone disagrees with you, you masticate a reply that encompasses everything bad from the beginning of time to present. You're like this passive aggressive psycho x girlfriend.  I think you need therapy.  Is there a Psychiatrist in the house?

You know when you present opinion for facts, then can't back up your story, someone is gonna have something to say about it. Basically, keep you trap shut unless you are willing to take a stand. Anyone can cry mistreatment when they can't back up their "facts" .  I know you have done your fair share yourself Biggus. Don't let your carry over from your Pittman is messing up thread cloud your judgement here. I don't have time to look at all your previous posts and find examples of you doing the same thing to other posters

Everyone should relax, actual football coming soon
