I understand her being frustrated and feeling like the man she truly cares for was made to feel like less of a man.
I would hope that if something like this happened to me, that my Wife would defend me and stand up for me being mistreated.... HOWEVER
Writing an article that basically is a biased piece saying he was forced out, doesnt seem to help the situation at all.
Was it a bit coldhearted that they up and gave the job to someone who hasnt stepped on campus?- Yes.
But at the end of the day, that is part of the game. He wasnt kicked off the team, he was given options and was told basically that things wont work out.
While the way she writes it, it seems harsh, i think of it as this way. They are letting Josh know that he probably cant win the job... dont give him false hopes if he truly wants to start and play somewhere. By telling him where he stands, you are allowing him the chance to go elsewhere if he truly wants to play.
If he wants to continue to suit up for Nebraska, it sounds like he was given that option.
If 1-2 players get hurt, they might need Josh, who knows.
I think it came off as a bit of a "poor me" article, but i 100% understand where she is coming from. She feels like this administration wronged a person she clearly loves, and she wants people to know. I dont think this is the best way to go about it, but hell.. she is defending someone who means a lot to her and from her perspective i can see why she is mad.
College Football is a big business, and sadly very few Walk-ons ever get to play. Josh should be happy he got the chance he did and understand life isnt fair and sometimes you dont get what you want. Use this as a life lesson, prove the doubters/coaches wrong. Go in to practice everyday and practice your a$$ off. Work on longsnapping. Get better and be ready if your name is ever called.
If i am coach Bray, and i just told this kid he has no chance to play, and then i see him work even harder.... To prove me wrong.. That is the type of player you watch and sets a good example for those around him.
