My point was, it's ridiculous when people say "Well, he gets a free education" so.......

It's FAR from free.

So if a college student who works 3rd shift stocking trucks for UPS absolutely sucks at his job and constantly messes up, he can't be told he sucks either because he's using that money to pay for school?

Can't have it both ways.

I had my school paid for completely, and I never once felt like it was anything but free.

Your parents paying for your La Petite Education really doesn't compare to this argument. But for once I do agree with you.

Where is this (available for the world to see) message board for sucky UPS truck stockers where I can trash him for his lack of effort? (which I of course will do anonymously).

My school was also paid for and at that time in my life never thought of it as a job either. I do remember that it was a huge time commitment though. The "he has a free education" line is just another way for message board posters to justify their actions on these boards though and it isn't a "free ride" as some choose to convince themselves.

I got to travel across the entire Southeast in either a luxury bus or by plane. Same as RW. I got to play a game and get my school paid for. Same as RW.

It damn well was a free ride for me. And it's a free ride for RW.

You know nothing about me. So quit pretending.

No. A free ride would be getting your schooling paid for without having to give anything in return. (there's your setup for a RW joke, we'll see if you're mature enough to hold back.)

Playing a sport you love sure as Hell beats working my arse off to pay for an education.

Spin it all you want, but his education is free.

I'm pretty sure it's not a secret that athletes in the revenue sports at BCS conference schools get a great deal of scrutiny. If Woolridge was going to be unable to handle that, I'm sure Pepperdine or Riverside would have had a spot for him.

I"m spinning it??? Now that's funny.

So what you're saying is that the Univ of Tenn pays for his education and all he has to do is go to class?

It's not like the kid doesn't have a father that knows how the system works, either.

He gets to live out a dream of thousands.

You act like he's out digging a damn ditch.

No doubt, and I have no problems with that first sentence.

The problem is that too many use that exact line of thinking to justify their actions.

Also he now has somewhat of a platform at which to perform his rap.

He's getting a pretty good deal out of it. Don't let his whiney antics being the victim fool you.

I don't know why you guys are surprised, didn't Griff report last year Pearl was upset at internet critcism. Woolridge is only following the lead of his coach, even though it's only making him look worse.

The personal attacks, sure they are wrong, but if his feelings are hurt because people are criticizing his play, then he needs to get over it because it's beyond warranted.

No, I'm making a very simple point. One that is either flying way over your head or that you just don't have it in you to not take the opposite side in a discussion. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and taking the latter.

I would have absolutely hated to play SEC division 1 basketball in front of 20,000 people every night. What a nightmare.

From what I've seen out of your e-personality, my guess is you would've pissed your pants.

Even though I do think it's cute that all 3 of you have come together once again to cover each other's backs and would've loved to get into another pissing match with you, I'm heading home for the night. Have a good weekend.

No it's neither.

The kid is getting a free education, he will probably end up just like Dane Bradshaw. He will leave school with a damn good job, which was not a result of his talent but rather the hand that was dealt to him.

The playing the victim card is grossly overexaggerated. But your Hero played it, and you bit. Hook, line and sinker.

Look, I work my ass off for my scholarships and the funding my school has provided for my research. I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone because they have to do something for their scholarship.
