Do the players like Farley?

[Troll44]

Anyone know if Farley is liked among the players? I heard that one transfer from last year berated him in front of a recruit...

[JayJ79]

no clue. but I'd bet that there is no decent coach that is liked by every single player

Dude, you are the biggest jersey chaser ever. You drop more personal stuff about the athletes on campus that "you saw" "talked to" or "ran into" it gets rediculous. I know for a fact a few of them hate panthernation just for that very reason.

I'm done now, carry on.

[unigriff]

lol, i just knew it happened cuz i was in class when the professor brought it up, and pulled his schedule out to prove it was his. They made a joke ofi it.
everyone laughed, and it gets brought up every once and awhile.

Last i checked I don't obess over athletes, stalk them or wear any jerseys. I am friends with a ton of UNIs athletes as I am an athlete as well. If anything I'm a female "Chaser" for the simple reason...they are female

last i checked i havent said anything PERSONAL about any athlete. I havent spread their numbers, addresses, girlfriend/boyfriends names, or anything of that nature. Just because of a few funny actions does not make me a jersey chaser...sorry if you feel differently.

good effort though. keep trying to get under my skin.

I agree. A lot of people "know" athletes at UNI; it's a fairly small campus. However, this Griff character does try to name drop a lot... On another note, a lot of athletes break the law on weekends at UNI (just like every other school...), that would prove to be a MUCH more interesting topic than *giggle*what notebook so-and-so has this week... *end giggle* On the subject, why is it that student athletes are not required to submit to drug screening on a regular basis? All I have heard of is random testing at UNI that is pre-announced. I feel that my tax dollars are being used on some of the wrong items by certain athletes. Can I get a refund?! There, that's how you do it without dropping names...

Funny, I don't recall seeing your name on any of the athletic rosters...

D1 college football players have more contact with their individual position coaches than they do with the head coach. So, by nature, a lot of them won't care much for the HC because they don't see them enough and when they do they are usually getting yelled at for something. There is a lot more that goes into playing college football than what people see on saturdays and its not a lot of fun. There is a habitual state of being tired and in a bad mood. B!tching is the norm.

There is a huge difference between liking someone and respecting them. While players may not at times "like" Farley, I think you will find nearly unanimous "respect"...

[FMPanther]

well, do we know?

We don't know how they feel, but I live by:

I'd rather have you hate me know and respect me years from now, than to have you love me now and not respect me down the road.

He's not their buddy.

I'm not sure any player has to "like" his head coach. The head coach needs to be respected, have the players attention and motivate them to play at their highest level...but they don't have to 'like' him.

The assistant coaches (position coaches) work very closely with the players and I think they need to be liked by the players they deal with on a daily basis. It's a good cop, bad cop kind of deal in my opinion.

its called a walk-on for a reason. When Kepler left to Utah, i quit.
i still run unattached at many meets around the state.

I apologize for making one sarcastic comment. Didn't think it would blow up to this. The "heheheh" i thought would give it away that i was just fooling around. Shoot I own a lot of girly things. I don't care to exploit that. If this is a sexuality issue, i'm perfectly straight and I would assume Whit is too.

I don't know Whit personally, talked to him a few times. Out of everyone I know on the spors teams, he'd prob. the least of athletes I know that have been around.

Athletes get talked about all the time, everywhere...don't just single me out. You'd actually be suprised at a smaller school like this, how many are actually easily accessible and how many you could be friends with. I live next to some, party with some, classes with some. If saying what kinda notebook or folder someone has is TOO personal, then i apologize and someone just has their panties too deep and really needs to pull them out.. Like i said, it was just a sarcastic comment since football was brought up even if it is true.

[pantherclaw]

I "know" eric sanders and johnny can drop a mean 3-ball. Why do this not b/c im a "jersey-chaser" but wait b/c Im an intermural offical. I also know Grant stout and Adam viet on a somewhat personal basis, why, well SHOCKER they've been in my Geography classes. Its a small campus just b/c griff knows stuff about them dosne't mean hes a "jersey chaser"

[Purple For Life]

Yeah, I almost ran over Brooks McKowen once, but yanno...not a jersey chaser. It's a small school. They are STUDENT-athletes. Gee...I think students are going to run into them now and then.

[panther2317]

They are just students and hopefully they like to meet other students who they're attending college with...many of my closest friends in college were student-athletes and I wasn't a jersey chaser. My wife was a student athletic trainer...so I guess I was an athletic trainer chaser.
