Nick Hirschman Leaving

[Buffenuf]

Hmmmmmmm, which division of the Ivy League is Akron in?

 

[Dark Bohner]

I think some people are over thinking this. Put yourself in his shoes. He graduated and was in a situation where he probably felt he wasn't going to win a starting job. He probably loves football and knows he has limited time left, and had the opportunity to go someplace and theoretically be handed the starting job (this I don't know.)

this could be his only chance to play the game he loves before entering the cold real world, why not go for Akron and see what you can do? He'll be the big man on campus for a while....

fyi here is their schedule: http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2013-14/schedule

Yeah, he may have been thinking this, but I think it was a bit short sighted if that is the case. He was easily no worse than number 2 on the depth chart and was just an injury away from being the starter at a BCS school. I understood the Ivy League angle, but Akron?

Well good luck to him, and I wish him the best, he was nothing but class while he was here.

That was my first thought as well. I'm struggling with the idea that this was an academic move.

Between Hirsch & Dre the last few weeks, I am starting to hate our fanbase. The way some of you are acting is embarrassing. Neither of them did anything to deserve the venom they've received.

Best of luck Nick. I hope you kick ass and find happiness.

Surprised it was Akron, but not sure the decision to leave CU is all that hard to dissect. He probably just did not click with the new coaching staff. Not going to hold that against him whatsoever. He did everything that was asked of him on and off the field while dealing with adversity with fairly serious injuries and upon graduating, decided a fresh start was best for him. Not seeing the problem here.

I'm not seeing the venom you are referring to for Nick. Once people learned about Akron, I see confusion and people trying to think out loud about the reasoning behind it, but I don't see any viscious attacks on him.

I wish Nick the best. Hope he wins the starting job and has a couple good years at Akron while earning his graduate degree.

This thread is going to take a break for a bit Nick is a student athlete and gave a lot to Colorado in the form of effort and injury over the past few years. As all of you know attacking student athletes is against this site's TOS.
