hello

Classical Gas: Please take the "G" off and put an "s" on the end.

I'm glad he was willing to compete. But I wish he wouldn''t have sold everyone out when he missed winning the starting job by a hair's breadth. As for timing, back in January if the staff knew he was going bail out if he didn't win the starting job, do you think they would have encouraged him to stay? Would anyone on the team have wanted him to stay if he had told them he'd bail if he didn't get the nod to start? Would the fans have wanted him to stay?

No, no he didn't. Like Gebbia, Frost left after his coach got fired and the new coach came in with a different scheme. Unlike Gebbia, Frost transferred in January. He did not cost his team a scholarship, and then bail out when he didn't get named the starter. That's way different. If Tristan had left back in January we could have recruited another QB. As it is, he bailed out and left us short handed because *he* wasn't named the starter. That's a selfish, self centered way of going about things, if you ask me. But it seems like a lot of you in this thread see nothing wrong with it.

Did you read all of what I wrote? Here: Heh, it didn't occur to me that you'd think I did not realize Mike Riley got fired last year. Let me rephrase my post: ====================================== But at least you included my whole quote in your post above. A response that cut off the last part—"And Frost didn't burn a scholarship when he left"—to be clever and change the meaning of the post, well, that would be the kind of thing a deceptive little douchebag would do. If you know what I mean.

Ha ha! Only 10%??

Frost had to sit out for a year, right?

Well, I guess that's your version of what a commitment means. Gebbia could have left in January and everything would have been fine. He could have found a new school to compete at, and NU could have found another QB for the roster. But that's not what he did. He chose to compete for the starting job at Nebraska. And when he didn't get the starting job, he bailed out on his teammates. I'm sure Tristian Gebbia is talented, a hard worker and a real nice guy. But the way he handled this is just wrong in my way of thinking.

That's a lot of leaps of faith just to justify some kid bailing out on his team.

Just curious. Are you a junior high kid?

Walsh last two years at Stanford he went 4-7 then 3-7-1. Call it what you want, but his golden boy image from his previous tenure had worn off after two losing seasons.

Hypothetical. Because SF didn't do what I outlined in the post above. But if he had (hypothetical) would that mean it's okay for people to act that way today?
