Ellis Hobbs to the Eagles...
- Thread starter San Francisco Cy
- Start date
Ellis isn't the only one to do it. Even Justin Hartwig (who went to Valley in WDM) said Valley on the Super Bowl, even though he's just as proud to have gone to Kansas.
Loved whatching the little guy excel in the pros, wish he could be on better team to root for than the patriots and eagles but I will always be a fan of Ellis Hobbs III! Plus he loves Iowa State people, give it a rest.
E-L-L-I-S is now an E-A-G-L-E!!!! Fly, Ellis, Fly!!!
Macklin in an exciting addition too!!! Now I can like him.

I can't believe people havn't realized the ellis hobbs video was taped once and then replayed every game the rest of the year.
Don't worry. That was explained here every time it happened and people kept complaining. They will never be happy.
I would say it's gotten to be about 60/40 players saying their college to their high school. It's become the "cool" thing to do. Plus, when they are featured, they typically show their school name as well. So, maybe some just like to show both? Either way, I've never lost one second of sleep as a result of it. Fact is that people wouldn't notice, if we had more players in the NFL. And I could less which school he announces if he's starting in a Super bowl for the Eagles. ;-)
I'm not a moron, I realize they tape those things at the beginning of the year and then reuse them throughout the season.
I guess I haven't heard high schools mentioned much, so that's why it just seems weird to me.
My husband's just happy I got involved in the Fantasy Football league at my office so I don't complain when he has football on all day Sunday from August-January.
Ok, as much and the high school thing ****ed me off, the ISU connection is good. I enjoy watching Ellis, and now that he is not on the Pats, I am smiling big time
If you truly are an Ellis fan, this is a GREAT trade for you. The Eagles are constantly sending CB's to the Pro Bowl. i.e. Bobby Taylor, Troy Vincent, Sheldon Brown, Lito Shepard, and now his former Patriot teammate Assante Samuel. Jim Johnson has an outstanding defense that really features the secondary, and I think that Hobbs could really excel in it. I hope he can live up to the expectations that have been set for that position in Philly...

I thought it was a good pick for both teams. Ellis is in his last year of his contract and the Patriots weren't going to sign him after the season. They got 2 picks for him which is better than getting nothing right? Ellis gets out of New England where a bunch of people were blaming him for the Super Bowl loss 2 years ago, he gets the chance to maybe put up good numbers playing as the 3rd cb in a very good defense in Philly.
This now makes sense. I can why he changed from us to saying high school if he saw the program get rid the coach who recruited him and is the reason he is playing in the NFL, and had success and took us to bowl games for a high profile bust of a coach who drove the program into the ground. If I were him I would do the same thing.
Yeah and I think that had mac been fired for deserving reasons he'd have understood but doing it the way that pollard did it most likely ticked him off
