  1. Surely we have some posters that have some knowledge on how this actually works and maybe some examples to share.  

     

    I have a couple questions.

    If the "bag game" is so prevalent in college football why don't we hear more stories or incidents about players that flipped the switch on the bag men, took the money and went to a different school.  The only incident I have ever heard of is Eric Dickerson and that was a long time ago.  What is to keep a kid from flipping to another school once he has the money?  It's not like these kids are dealing with the cartel or something these boosters that are paying players are what, a bunch of rich fans fronting money? What can they really do if I kid gets the money and walks away giving them the finger as he goes?  There are all kinds of dynamics to this issue that are never discussed.  All you hear about is players are being paid on the side etc etc but I have never really seen the big story about a player that was paid.  

    Is there an ESPN 30for30 or some other show that really dives into players being paid?  I know it happens I have personally talked to division one players from the 80's that were given money handshakes after a game but none were given money up front to go that school.  

    Anyone have any good stories I mean we are in the off season now and this is recruiting related lets get it all out there.

    So when Ewers comes, is it a guarantee he starts?? Like are we telling him come here and you’ll start?? 
    What if Casey maybe decides to stay and battle it out in the spring?? 

    im just asking, because the other day I watched all our games up til halftime against OU. . 
    before Thompson hurt his hand in my honest opinion idk how the rest of the season would have gone but going off his play before then he would have been an easy pick to go to New York for a lot of awards and most likely in the heisman   race. He definitely wasn’t perfect but man he looked good . 

    Are you sure you watched the right team and the right Casey?

  3. The players play uninspired and appear lazy and entitled.  It does not appear that the coaches hold the players responsible for their play and therefor they contribute and encourage the level uninspired and lazy play that we continue to see.  
     

    This will continue until the right coaches make the hard decision to hold the players accountable and start cutting players that do not meet the standard.

     

    I would hope it would be this staff but I doubt it happens.  The staff is just as comfortable and lazy as the players.

    I really don’t know what happened but I’m not a football expert. He had so much promise the first few games and coming out of last year. 

    It’s not his fault he is just a limited skilled player

    I hate shit like this. Kids today can't handle criticism. If I'm a coach and a kid wants to leave I'll show them the door. "Fuck you, I'll give the opportunity to someone else!"

    Until the program gets to this level we will continue to be frustrated as fans.
