Message: [QUOTE="Bambrewer, post: 2000213, member: 4728"] Absolutly. I love reading fans ideas about what they think is going on and how the staff is handling things. Truth is most have no clue. I guess having no idea what it's like to have a dream and be this close to that dream will never be comprehended by them. When these kids played pop warner you were always told they will never play d1. It's one in a million. Then high school came and these kids were told they won't play d1 but as years went on and people started noticing they were different than the 100s of other kids from their state who didn't get a chance to play in college they began to dream. Then colleges coaches came along and told them they were the greatest. They could play on the d1 level. That they believed in them. That they would be the guy who goes on to the NFL. And those kids bought in. They came out and worked. And the coaches worked and told them to get on the field or next year you will be the guy. But then that coach has to leave. And then new coach changes stuff. And suddenly the guy who last year was the star of campus or was waiting to be the guy is now sitting on the bench wondering what the hell happened to his dream. These fans have no idea what it would be like to have a coach call you into his office and tell you that even though you have been told you were great you won't play here... you can sit here and watch or you can get penalized and try somewhere else. You can drop a level. You can sit a year. You can roll the dice and see if someone will take you. I guess to people who have never been close to their dreams it's easy to say get over it move on. I guess they haven't had a chance. But I do know these kids who fans are so quick to cast off. I sat at the hotel talking with many of these kids who had their talks and I saw their confusion about how this happened. I saw them choke up telling me what the coach said. They told me how they didn't know what to do. Fans don't see that but I guess that is what makes being a fan fun. You don't have to deal with the reality of behind the scenes. I wish trey nothing but the best. I hope he kills it at the next school. I will be watching and hoping for him. [/QUOTE]
