Capello Transfering...
- Thread starter RedlineSi
- Start date
It's probably better for them all... The way his family posted and fretted about this stuff was unhealthy.
Exactly. There's a reason why athlete's parents posting on a message board (or at least being open about their identity while they do it) is the exception not the rule.
His family took offense that us fans didn't consider him a legit candidate for being the starter this year... Tried to convince us it was going to happen.
IMO, they worried too much about what other people thought, and that's confirmed by the way they posted.
Other family members of other players usually come on here and are like "we had a great time, you are great fans, etc", but his family came on here with an axe to grind, IMO.
Good luck to James. He gave it his best shot and represented ISU well. I can fully understand his desire to transfer and wish him well wherever he goes. James did things the right way. He stuck it out through Spring ball and decided it was best to transfer at this time. Phil Bates did it the wrong way. Bates decided to quit the team during the season. Big difference IMO.
That's your opinion. I don't recall him guaranteeing his kid was ever going to be an all-american, or even the starter. He said his kid was willing to work hard and wanted to be on the field and I don't see that as being inflamatory in any way. Like I said, it didn't work out and I wish James and his family well.
There are plenty of people that should step away from the keyboard from time to time....that club isn't exclusive to family and friends of players.

They really did have a ax to grind... Like this thread they started... I guess its all how you want to take it....

I had NO problem with his father posting, it was nice to hear from him. I'm sure the coaches are straight up with players on their opportunities, and most would rather play than sit. It wish him and his family all the best. He should be a successful QB, and certainly held up his end with Iowa State last year running the opposing teams offenses. Good luck to all. And I hope posters will show a bit more respect to this kid and his family. There have been some tacky posts.
Did I miss something? His family member that posted on CF about James never said anything to make an *** out of him. We were provided with insight into James personal desire to work his butt off to try to win the starting job at ISU. Nothing wrong with that at all. The posts were respectful and to the point. His family from what was posted enjoyed their time in Ames, enjoyed meeting fellow ISU fans, etc... Much like TheCity, I enjoyed reading the posts giving us a bit more insight into the players time at ISU.
Hopefully we will get some updates on how he is doing with his new football program.
I don't see anything even remotely wrong with the "Capello" posts in this thread. I think some people just love to take the attack stance.
Good luck to James. I hope he gets the opportunity to play and show off his skills at his new school!
