Making Chimichangas Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 It is going to immediately impact the team negatively, but it's addition by subtraction in the long term. This was a public message sent to the team and another part of the transition to how Riley is going to run his program. Hope he makes better decisions going forward. I agree. If anything, I wish Mike Riley would have been far more stringent and demanding thus far. But I know that's not really his personality. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm sorry to be blunt but how can you be that dumb? He's been doing this four years now. How do you fail classes at that point? And to be blunt again... he's a sociology major. It's not like he's studying engineering. 1 Quote Link to comment

If you're asking literally, then failing school, even as a sociology major, is pretty darn easy if you never attend classes, don't do any work, and/or fail/don't take the tests. If you're asking rhetorically, then...right?! Quote Link to comment
Red_Payne Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Silver lining.... we get to see what his (potential) replacement can do against a fairly decent offense. Anyone have an idea of who will start in his place? Quote Link to comment

Anyone have an idea of who will start in his place? Someone in another thread, or possibly earlier in this thread, mentioned Aaron Williams or Avery Anderson. Could also be: Antonio Reed or Kieron Williams. Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 i heard Reed. Don't know where and I don't have a "in" so that could def be incorrect. Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Riley said yesterday in his press conference that Reed would get the first shot at starting in Gerry's absence. This has more to do with keeping the other guys in their current secondary positions. Quote Link to comment
shyndy Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I mean if a person just skips on finals alone that could make you fail all your classes. Maybe that is what happened and he had some personal issues the last few weeks. If it's like the rumor and he basically just didn't attend any classes all semester... that isn't just dumb for him but a kick to the crotches of his team and the program and even the fans Quote Link to comment

Maybe he was so sure he's going to the NFL he didn't think he'd need to graduate. Quote Link to comment
Making Chimichangas Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 In all honesty, what is going on with Nate Gerry is, in many respects, a microcosm of the rest of the team. Do just enough to get by/9 wins. Quote Link to comment

Do just enough to get by/9 wins. I disagree with you here Chimi - this team has really done a lot with very little in the way of "availability" due to injury etc. I think this year maybe more so than in any year I can think of in the recent past they've been engaged and focused. 3 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 He also missed game 1 this year for the same reason I believe, so not exactly a first for him . Quote Link to comment

I will respectfully disagree NM. I am not unreasonable. But... I have scratched my head until it proverbially bled at how we lost by 30 to a (at the time) 7-4 Iowa team. Quote Link to comment
