Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 25742, member: 874"] Actually it doesn't happen everywhere. We're not talking about people leaving in the middle of the 4th during a blow out. We're talking about people leaving during a tie game with their team having a chance to win. You'd never see that in the SEC or Big 10 (12). I'd venture to guess you wouldn't see that at WVU or VT games either (teams that we've been superior to or on par with for much of our existence). Also, you can't compare college football to MLB. It's apples to oranges. In regards to the recruit and what it says about him, it says he wants to play for a team whose fanbase cares, and I absolutely can't blame him for that. The recruits that we would like to eventually get are guys that can go wherever they want. Why play for a team with a good coach and a sucky fanbase ( e.g. SU) when you can play for a team with a good coach and a rabid fanbase (e.g. Alabama). [/QUOTE]
