Seriously who are you people?
The word you are looking for is goofballs. I hear about all these 24/7/365 grinder successful types, but in my 50 years I have not come across one yet.

Maybe jay ward and ricks are friends. If it’s just one or two guys then that means that he probably did piss some guys off because you would have had at least 5-10 players say something positive if it was a guy that went to a team in a different conference.

You know they all saw it and to only have a couple positive responses shows that he isn’t looked at very favorably.

I’d like to see what the response is to a similar post by trey Palmer. I bet it’s much different

Some people are mature and don’t get mad about stuff like this. You sound like you’re a real blast to hang out with

Doesn’t matter. You didn’t have friends at other schools?

Why do the players on our team still support Eli Ricks?


Because they see college teams as a business, much like the NFL.

There is little allegiance anymore, they are all potential free agents.

But why, if you still work for the company that employee left, would you still be friendly with the guy whose new company is doing whatever they can 24/7/365 to put you out of business.

Do some of y’all actually have real lives?

It makes me wonder sometimes how sad some of these guys lives are

Idk, maybe they see their friend as more important than a game? I’m certain there are players who weren’t friends with him who don’t support him.

For them it’s the equivalent to you liking a former co-workers post on Instagram

Kids are soft in todays feel good, do gooder, everything is ok, and nobody is wrong world. College Football and Sports in general are full of Prima Donas and it is only going to get worse.

Most players don’t have any loyalty to their school or team anymore, they’re just trying to make it to the League. Should they hate Stingley too?



And this is why it sucks

Their lives literally revolve around the game lol

How football interacts with their life is a lot different than how football interacts with a fan's life.
