Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Walters just said that Bates is going to Ohio University, where Solich coaches.
Bates to Ohio U.
- Thread starter cyclonedave25
- Start date
Good fit... I thought his goal was to make it to the NFL?? Good job. Maybe he realized he would be best as an option QB and he should give up on being an NFL QB.
Sorry... Gotta add.... He's still a Chizik.. Or.... Is Chizik a Bates?? Either way..
You can figure out the definition...

22 your going soft on this one buddy... Why not good luck to Gene Chizik???
Both left the same way more or less.... I've seen your opinion on both, don't start floppin like a Drake point guard on this.
Partially, I was being facetious.
The other part, Gene lied to many, many people. Who knows, perhaps he promised something to Bates and had no intent on living up to it.
Many players still really like Bates. Not many are really lovin' Chizik.
Still pissed at him for quitting midseason. Still not loving the guy. Just a bit more understanding now that other things have played out.

You forgot the sarcasm pirate... Damn you...
We were rough on Bates for leaving... Players may love him and what not, but remember he had to have daddy speak for him and he couldn't speak up in the spot light until days later.
Kinda seems exactly like the Chizik situation... Too chickin **** to tell the truth and he hid behind others.
I personally hope he does well at Ohio. He didn't have a clear shot to be "the guy" here and some kids want that. There certainly would have been some unused talent if he wouldn't have started a game in his career at ISU.
Didn't have a clear shot???? or why can't we just say he was beaten out by Austen??
I get that. It was clear that he would have to be significantly better than AA to pass him and even he knew that wasn't happening. We were thin at QB for the 2nd half of the season but made it through. Both parties are better off in the end.
