The more vocal piece is likely just a sign of experience. Freshman in college is a whole new world compared to sophomore even if it's a short period of time. I wouldn't read into that.
Just like being new to a business. Even if you're a stud you're not gonna just start ordering others around without earning first respect.
I find it shocking that so many of you are surprised he improved his game. Of course he was going to improve. Why wouldn’t he? Also a lot of his limitations were do to the limitations of the rest of our players last year.
For me the hate comes from where he transfered to not that he transfered. I had a boss who would tell people who quit they don't need to give 2 weeks notice. If they don't want to be here then we don't want them here. I think this is true with sports teams too. My issue is he went somewhere that is a direct competitor with us. Not only that but a school that has largely held the conference hostage to their will then tries to destroy it on their way out. Anyone who transfers in conference or to a rival will get hatred. Think Adam Haluska. Same story with coaches. If Hoiberg went to coach at Kansas I would have hated him for that, he is a Nebraska and I'm fine with that. Whereas Rasir Bolton going to Gonzaga and thriving doesn't get hatred.
Fellow detasseler here. Earned a sweet hundred dollars an acre back in 1987 - well worth the hours of pulling tassels in the hot July sun battling mosquitos while walking through 4 inches of mud. It was a character building job!
Correct. Had he gone outside the Big XII I sincerely doubt anyone would have much hate or even blame the kid for getting paid. He went to Texa$$ of all places.
Thoughts on Tristan Enaruna's transfer to ISU? He was highly recruited in high school and a lot of people on this board were very excited about him coming here.
I miss the paper cut like things you got from the leaves.
Again, he said the PC thing of it not being about money. We all know it was. But, like, who cares? He played hard at ISU, didn't appear to do anything wrong, and moved along.
I also know what NIL wise our guys are getting compared to Creighton. We aren't even touching them. If you're truly that upset, I hope you're donating.
You are correct about Rasir Bolton in that it isn't going to be a week to week thing because he doesn't play in the Big 12.
But make no mistake......plenty of hatred on CF was sent his way when he transferred.
What's the difference? Either their high powered donors will pay for the advantage or the schools will. For me it's the principle.
