I wish the young man could have lost a game so that everyone on here that annointed him the 2nd coming could understand that untested and unproven does not mean Heisman contender.
So you wanted a UT quarterback to play badly and for the team to lose a game because of it? Are you sure you thought that plan all the way out?
I'm usually not one with inside info but I randomly met a close relative of RF on the golf course. He basically said he thought Riley was crazy for leaving but home sickness had a lot to do with it. By and large he was very complimentary of the coaching staff; however, one thing stuck out. According to his relative the coaches told Riley he would be named the starter after spring ball, BUT then that O&W performance happened and threw everything into wack. It seemed there was a little bit of resentment over how that played out.
I find it sad that anyone would/could sit there and talk krap about a 19 year old.
I personally find it sad when anyone wastes a chance when so many around would kill or die for that same opportunity.
I find it even sadder that his parents let him do it.. If my son had a football scholly and then tried to piss it away, I would literally choke the life from him myself.
The BOY and I mean BOY didn't have it in him to compete for the starting job here and it is not like we got 2 or 3 high school ALL AMERICANS he had to beat out, I would not wont him behind the center, down by 6 with 3 minutes to go, he would CHOKE, good luck at a small school.
