Because we are CU. We unfortunately are snake bit and are aware where this usually goes.What the **** with the comments in here? Victim mentality? FCS program? He gone? Why?
Bunch of morons who read an article title and not the article.What the **** with the comments in here? Victim mentality? FCS program? He gone? Why?
Just seems like a trend. No matter where he has played since HS he has burned bridges and had issues. Hell, the kid has never been able to even play a snap of CFB and that’s not due to talent.What the **** with the comments in here? Victim mentality? FCS program? He gone? Why?
But this is the first troublesome issue. The other problems have been due to family and/or serious health issues.Just seems like a trend.

At some point it stops being an anomaly and just is who he is.
Not true. I responded to you in the Alfaro thread, but you remember this, right?But this is the first troublesome issue. The other problems have been due to family and/or serious health issues.
This is a pattern with Alfano. He always has a convenient excuse for not showing up though.A week after announcing the former five-star freshman “disappeared a little bit,” Alabama’s head coach drew a line in the sand Wednesday, explaining that the most recent recruiting class’ No. 1 rated defensive end has quit on the Crimson Tide in his eyes.
“I just know that the guy basically quit. He quit going to class, he quit coming here (to the football complex),” Saban said Wednesday, showing rare candor regarding an internal matter. “We tried to encourage him, we tried to help him. We set up counseling sessions with him to help him every way we could, and all those things are still available to him if he wants them. But he didn’t respond to any of the things. So until he responds, you have to assume the guy quit.”
That’s not a troublesome issue and it didn’t happen at CU. Why do you care what happened at Alabama that is literally the only reason he’s even at CU?Not true. I responded to you in the Alfaro thread, but you remember this, right?

Patterns of behaviors. These incidents are all very similar. What good is having a kid on the team who thinks he can disappear on coaches and teammates whenever he wants?That’s not a troublesome issue and it didn’t happen at CU.

CU is a program that should be attempting everything in their power to keep a talent like him on the team, and yes, he should get many chances. He served his suspension for not showing up for voluntary workouts at CU. This is the second issue. As nik said, it’s only an issue if CU wants it to be an issue.Patterns of behaviors.

Only an issue if CU makes it one? So again, this isn’t an Alfano problem, it’s a CU problem?? Weird take. Alfano made this a problem when he decided to commit crimes.CU is a program that should be attempting everything in their power to keep a talent like him on the team, and yes, he should get many chances.

I didn’t say it’s a CU problem. I said it’s only an issue that warrants dismissal if CU decides it is. He doesn’t have a pattern of criminal behavior like you’re making it out to be. He’s only at CU because he quit on Alabama, which you sure were fine with at the time, so why are you using that as one of his strokes at CU?Only an issue if CU makes it one?

He’s proven himself to be completely unreliable. I hope he gets his life in order, but not on CU’s dime.
In this case, these issue may well be tied in to his medical condition, and with his diagnosis, there may be a path to overcoming the underlying issue.Patterns of behaviors.

I was fine with CU giving the kid a second shot after Bama. But then when he bailed on his teammates here in a similar fashion I looked at that as a pattern. I would have cut him loose then. What’s happened subsequently (blaming the AD for his not getting tested, arrested with two charges pending) should absolutely lead to his dismissal.I didn’t say it’s a CU problem.

Also, I know, CU should only recruit choir boys who wanna be Buffs. I get it.
CU football the last 15 years sure has been fun!I was fine with CU giving the kid a second shot after Bama.

Also, cut the **** about “choir boys” out. That’s a weak attempt to skew the argument. I’m fine with them recruiting kids and giving them a chance. But if that kid proves he’s not going to live up to his end of the bargain, cut his ass.

So will turning away talented players, Gary. I’m sure we’ll backfill with a similar talent.aLfANo wIlL sOlVe aLl oUr PrBLemS!
