Joey Galloway just said he supported Clemsen’s QB transferring because his feelings were hurt. Jesse Palmer reminded him that this is not pee wee football. Chalk another one up for the pussification of America creeping into football.
A players feelings being hurt...
- Thread starter B1G RED RULES
- Start date
BTW - I apologize in advance to the folks that my comment offended if Joey’s remarks gave them goosebumps and brought a tear to their eye.
Kids are pussies nowadays. It is very sad
Wow you are such a tough guy, going on the internet and finding a college football board just to remark about something you saw on cable t.v...and to remind people how tough you are, and how soft the rest of the country is....your war veteran granddaddy must be proud.
Translation: Anybody who goes on a computer to complain about something they saw on t.v, that a talking head was told to say, is soft in mind and body.
I posted an apology earlier in this post for anyone that I would offend. Sorry that was not enough...I could not account for how fragile some emotions are...
I don't care either way, whether players transfer or are forced to stay at a school after they sign their LOI, but people going on message boards and calling other people pussies is strange to me. I mean are we really more pussified than the 90s....when we had a rb nearly kill a woman, a qb hide in closet, and said rb later attempt to run over some kids. None of those things seem "tough".
Quite a stretch to equate quitting when you don’t get your way to physical assault off the field, but hey...whatever it takes to get you through the day. Peace out.
Did you see Jesse Palmer’s face as they were breaking away? He was like WTF.
Im not sure if it is a feelings hurt, or "*****" thing as much it is a "me" thing. Unfortunately most kids have been raised the last 15-20 years that they are the center of the universe. They are the most important and special people on the planet. Everything they do should be rewarded 10 times. If they do something wrong or make a mistake, it somehow is somebody else fault.
So when these kids get is situations where maybe they don't get what they want or things don't go how they think they should. They don't know how to fight through it, work harder, and get what they want. They quit or give up. Not their fault , they just don't know how else to deal with it.

Totally agree. This is where participation trophies come in---so no one feels bad about not winning. We are supposed to be politically correct and not "offend". What ********. Makes us soft. You nailed it.
You know this phrase, or something close to it has been uttered by each of the last 100 generations?
Regarding comments that say these players are soft or whatever, many may say players of previous generations were dumb because they settled for being a backup because their coach decided on another guy starting in front of them. Back then they couldn’t transfer and may have missed out on invaluable experience which may have led to NFL money.
I’m not saying that some guys aren’t soft, but I am saying that the answer isn’t always as easy as some think.
Was nowhere near good enough to play at the NCAA level.
But we had several kids quit when I was in high school because they didn't get to start.
Don't think it's limited to this generation or these QB's

So if you have a position at one company and they give your promotion to a younger guy, you are going to stay at said company when another company will give you the promotion? I find the hypocrisy amazing. If a white businessman switches companies for better opportunity and pay then he is smart and made a business decision. If a black qb, who has won 90% of his games, is passed over by a true freshman, and decides to transfer, he is a quitter. I get it. Dabo gave the job to an equal player so his true freshman wouldn't transfer, the player he risked losing is an already graduated Senior qb. So this isn't the best man wins, it is political and about keeping young talent. Sad that the transfer rule has lead to this...
I think once you've played a few seasons with a school you ought to just stay there and try to be part of something great, adding valuable depth to a critical position. Very very few of these players will even get drafted and Bryant isn't one of them. I also rarely see the transfer work out well. There are dozens of Harrison Becks and Mitch Mustains for every Russell Wilson.
Quite frankly we need to simply dump the so called "men" in the middle of nowhere in Siberia or Alaska on the door steps of winter, and let the weak die off. Those who emerge will never be the same. That's IF they want to leave their new life style.
Yep. He’s the one that suggested forfeiting games as well. You already know his mindset
Ahhhhhh....the real reason for your belching surfaces. Now it is a race thing. I notice you didn’t comment on any of my previous posts saying the same thing about Gebbia, but that apparently didn’t fit the narrative.
You are amazing. Really. How you arrived at this , when no one even remotely hinted at it. Wow. Keep up the good work, Kojak.
You bring race into this? Why? Your last point is the real point. Dabo knew he might lose one of his QB's to transfer after he names a starter. So he decides to go with the future and rolls the dice. Veteran guy gets pissed and quits.
The real issue here is that there is no loyalty shown by a coach to a veteran player. The real issue is why a coach would want to keep a Freshman around who wouldn't be willing to wait one more freaking year to start? Some team player he is. The real issue is that if Dabo routinely treats his veteran players like this then he risks losing his team and having his cut throat approach come back to bit him in the face.
The issue is not race. Geez.
We complain about how kids these days are soft because they get participation trophies that inflate their self-image, yet all we can talk about is "why do we only have 3 star recruits and not 4 or 5 star recruits..." You can't have it both ways
What is the point of posting this over and over again? We all know Frost transfered in 95' (thank God he did), it's not some new information or smoking smoking gun.
