What is the benefit for Gebbia? His RS is gone. Does it make any difference if he plays this year or not?

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at a Mississippi JuCo, with the connection to Ole Miss he has.

Could potentially be learning a new offense.  Or playing at a JUCO.

Would he be allowed to practice at another school this fall? Why not leave after this semester?

Yes, he could practice.

 

Also, there was a kid last year who left a school right before the season started because there is a "loophole" that you have to sit out one year so his theory was he could leave now, practice for a year and become eligible right at the beginning of next year.  If you wait until after this season, you'd have to sit out next year.

If he goes to a JuCo, yes.

I saw a tweet that Gebbia is weighing his options.

I don’t think twitter matters. My understanding is that if we stop speculating about it here on HB then Gebbia will stay.

I think you get at least 48 hours to get over your disappointment at not being named the starting QB. 

 

I believe Eric Crouch had a full blown snit before he was talked back into the fold.

If I was Gebbia, that part would piss me off because it essentially says I didn't have a chance to begin with and I've just had sunshine pumped up my ass for weeks.

 

That seems to be reading WAAAAY more into it than is actually there.

If everything else is the same, why wouldn't you go with the bigger, faster, and better athlete?

I think EC had a reason to be upset, I believe he was grading out better than Newcombe, and Solich still named BN the starter.

Solich's famous road trip to Omaha to visit the Crouch family. I kinda view that as an early symptom that Solich was losing his grip on the team (including coaches), if he ever really had a good one in the first place.

All we heard out of camp was that the quarterback competition was to close to call. The statements made by Frost in support of that ring a little hollow in light of the "if there was a tie" remark. YMMV.

Frost commented today that he made decision to start Martinez middle of last week, and that he wanted to review it with his coaches before making things public.  It could have been a very close competition, but Martinez still "won it".

Just because there may not have been a tie doesn't mean it wasn't a close competition and both were given ample opportunity to win the job.  You're reading that part into his statement.
