    Why would you do such a thing? Did you disagree with the coaches decision on who to play/how much?

      Not always, but I was just the type of person that if I was going to work my butt off in practices I wasn't going to do it to sit. Not saying that it's the right thing to do, but it's how I rolled (as the kids are saying it these days).

      So, I usually walked when I wasn't a starter, which happened from time to time throughout my career.

      It seems to me no coincidence that this guy walked the next day after playing for literally one minute.

        From the outside, this doesn't pass the smell test. Not that we will ever see Jake stand up at a press podium and say "So and so is a total jerk and lazy. Good riddance". Or that if that statement is even remotely close to what happened.

        Still, if this was my kid, I would be extremely disappointed - actively trying to persuade the kid from making a choice to bail (if, in fact it was actually his to make). People need to learn to tough things out.

        I doubt we will ever hear what "actually" happened.

          So, you're a quitter when you don't get your way.

          Not shocking

            No they aren't. As is the case in most of your comments when you use this aside. It makes you look foolish (which may be redundant).

              Well, when I played organized sports I was, which was 30 years ago this year, my man, so draw whatever conclusions that you want from a man who is thirty years removed from doing such things, and who hasn't had to quit anything else in his life since.

                The kids AREN'T saying that?! You must not get out too much! I hear it daily from the kids.

                Either way, to actually take the time to have to counter a ludicrous, joking point that I made may be reflecting a lot more on you, my man.

                Something to think about next time you're prioritizing.

                    Rosenberg came to UNI as a walk on. Check with WSU, but I believe Frankamp was a walk on at first too. You can't take a scholly at the semester if guy #13 on scholarship left after the end of the semester. This you would have had 14 unique scholarship players during that year (12 full year + 2 half years). My guess is EIU had at max 12 scholarship athletes the Fall semester when Oliviera transferred in.
                    So, UNI could take a kid at the semester break, he would just have to be a walk on this Spring. Not too many kids are willing to do that. Rodey was the exception to the rule.
                    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                      Okay, PTTB, you are just referring to the scholarship aspect. I mistook to you to be saying that we couldn't take anyone at the semester. We can, they just can't be on scholarship for the spring semester, but could be on scholarship next year. Not exactly a bad thing if you don't think the fit is right where you are the first semester. And Austin is saving the program money for the next semester :-)

                        PTTB, I've wondered for years what your profile pic is but have never thought to ask.

                          It's a man with his hands folded. A quote of his may have been on my tag line at one time.

                            Even a fairly "unschooled" basketball fan such as I recognizes that person (or so I think that's who it is)!

                              No, and it's driven me crazy for years.

                                "Rolled" is not used by the kids. I think beeding would know that too. He does not live under a rock! He is kind of loco but not under a rockl
