To be honest, there are two sides of any stories, quotations, dramas and such. And it's fun to play Devil's Advocate because what fun is a debate without one?
I'd be mad too if someone burned my redshirt for a few catches. And I was not, repeat, NOT thrilled with the offense last year. I mean, if I had a dime for all the screen passes and stretch plays we ran, I'd never have to worry about:
-Health insurance
-Tuition (plus room, board and food)
And why do we have a problem with someone venting...on their own damn FB page? I don't care if it's a social networking site or not. The kid's gotta vent somehow. If he catches flack from his teammates and others, so be it, it's his fault.
Yes Shaq can have a big head at times. Guess what? So can I. So can Dan Angell. So can everyone else who was born on this little blue planet of ours.
There is plenty of room for him to grow up. Yeah he should probably be a little more discreet and a little more mature about it. But when you're 18-19 years old, away from home in what should be a promising situation for an education and sports and you feel like you got shafted big time, what do you do?
Also, you have to admit. It's a pretty bleak situation here in Pocatello and ISU at the moment. Yes we're doing everything we can to pull out of it. But when you look at it, it is pretty depressing. We have high school-level facilities (save for the track and soccer field, which looks more like a collegiate facility), the conservatism in Pocatello is not only annoying but downright antagonistic, teams have high turnover rates, and COMPARED TO WHERE THESE KIDS ARE FROM there is not a lot to do here (plenty if you love the outdoors; and I take Pocatello up on the countless mountain trails all the time).
