And the rant labeling him a pot head
You hate to see it.
Doesn’t matter where we’re ranked or what part of the season it is. There’s nothing you can do to subside depression.
It’s bigger than football, man

You're going to get downvoted but you're right. We probably won't ever find out, but we owe it to the man to take him on his word. If he says he's dealing with personal demons then give him your support and move on.

For all the shite they do to police "rumors" on here, it's weird how much was allowed to fly on here today.

All he has to do is say he is. Never understood why people don’t. You will get an overwhelming amount of support if you are just honest instead of hiding and letting people make shite up.

O is going to cover for him and Divinity is going to do the same. That is just how it has worked this year under O with disciplinary issues. It’s not hard to read between the lines.

Probably much harder than you think.

You really can't understand why it would be difficult to admit your demons to the entire fricking community of college football?

But it is a better idea to come out and say what’s going on. Transparency is always best.
Posted on 11/4/19 at 3:38 pm to RadarTiger
he said he’s dealing with a personal matter. what more do you want from him?

Don’t don’t have to say if you have a porn addictions anything, but just say “I’m taking some time off for my mental health.”

There didn't need to be a 14th thread on this. People are emotional and pissed off at the thought of a self inflicted wound leading up to the biggest game of the year.
Players on the team are telling people he failed a piss test last week. People who know staff members are saying he failed a piss test last week. Muscona is saying it without saying it, because he talks to people who would know. All the morning guys who get their stuff from Ponamsky are saying the same things.
Maybe he is incredibly depressed, and that's why he kept failing tests and got kicked off the team, but those two things aren't mutually exclusive. I genuinely feel bad for the guy, because he probably is dealing with some shite for his judgement to be that far off, but at this point anyone who doesn't want to acknowledge that he was kicked off is being willfully ignorant.

Because it’s embarrassing to actually tell people that. Family members or close friends even, not to mention millions of media and CFB fans.
If it’s depression, I feel for Divinity and truly hope he gets the help he needs. It’s literally the toughest thing I’ve ever had to deal with personally - worst of all is you know it’s irrational and want to make it better, but just cannot. And you’re ashamed of this and further blame yourself, so it’s all a vicious circle.
Divinity will always be a Tiger and I’m not gonna knock the guy if he’s battling demons. That’ll be amped up with all the exposure the team gets this season and especially this week. Maybe he realized this and didn’t want to be a detriment to the team knowing he wasn’t capable of being the great player and leader we know he can be. If so, this is the right call.
The truth is we just don’t know the full extent of this and he owes us nothing to lay his personal life out for all to see. I sure as shite didn’t nor wouldn’t.

I think too many people are treating both as individual causes for his walking away. Truth is, a great deal of people with mental health issues us weed as a coping mechanism. It’s very possible that his drug use is tied to whatever his mental state is.
Posted on 11/4/19 at 3:41 pm to sunnydaze
You're right. depression is a pain.
Posted on 11/4/19 at 3:43 pm to sunnydaze
I get the impression the weed may be a by product of a separate issue.

"You will get an overwhelming amount of support "
yeah you will get a lot of people patting you on the back, telling you everything we are all supposed to say. But at the end of the day there's a job to do, and the people that can get the job done with the least amount of noise are gonna be the ones doing it. Supporting someone and them being able to live their life just like they always have are two very different things.

If you can't see why going public with ANY mental health concern or even some type of addiction is extremely difficult then you're an idiot
