Taylor Martinez - Quarterback, software developer

[huKSer]

Is it common practice to know individual developers of apps? I can't tell you a single developer of any app of any sort.

I know who wrote "Follow the Pattern"

“There's not much to do in Nebraska, so you just start thinking of ways to make money.”

:xcuse

Give him a break he just learned about hunting a couple weeks ago.

Still...as the starting QB, why would you say things like this?

It just baffles me.

I can't imagine this wouldn't create major problems for the NCAA if others followed. You could have an app with just pictures, quotes or anything, and have fans "buy" the app. Players could easily make thousands at any major unversity. Nevertheless, pretty cool that Taylor did this. He's a motivated and smart guy.

I'm sure you've seen his interviews before...

Right, it *still* just baffles me.

I would say it is common for small simple apps but not ones made by a application/gaming studio.

What? College athletes cant make any money whatso ever now? Completely unrelated. My close friend programs aps and considers it a second job. Couldnt a kid in theory hold down a pt job? (yes im aware thats near impossible with their schedule)

Mostly I want to know how he "messes with the stock market"

He gets people over confident in certain stocks and just before everyone gets ready to sell he poops his pants and the value drops and people lose everything.

I overheard him talking about this at lunch one day. I was eavesdropping from a table over. Something about a "Black equation", and how it's wrong and easy to take advantage of. The kid can't conduct an interview, but it seems like he's a freaking genius with this software/stock market stuff.

I can relate to that. My wife was told by numerous upon tens and twenties of people that she was one of the best substitute teachers our school system had. She did it for 5 years. Applied for 4 full-time positions and never got a one, even with tremendous lists of all the right references. Was never given the full time job because she was told she didnt interview well.

She did NOT renew her teaching liscence,which wouldve required additional schooling at a high cost because evidently 5 years of full-time subbing is not the same as full-time teaching. We basically told to school system to piss off and she got a job at a local factory for just as good of money and benefits.

Sorry for the ramble but my point is that I agree with KJ. Taylor's interview and presser skill obviously do not tell his whole story. And, frankly, I could care less about interviews and pressers. Just do his job.
