Pobody's Nerfect?

Otherwise, great sentiment.

Could this mean he is starting Saturday?

Could this mean he is starting Saturday?

I hope not. The season is nearly half over. Keep the red shirt on him and let him compete with Dajon next season for the starting job. There is no need to waste a red shirt at this point.

Could this mean he is starting Saturday?

Starting with an English tutor? Maybe.

Starting at quarterback? Hopefully not even a remote possibility of any game action until next year at the earliest.

Our university's president does it on the regular.

Absolutely not, keep the red-shirt please. Half way through the season and you already have 3 QBs. Well, as I think about it, we don't have any at this point. Jk. This will change. DJ, and if not him, later on try Mac. At this point in the game the season will be over. Let's hope these two can just get it done and take the offseason as a chance to get better. The coaches need to at least sign 2 QBs out of the HS rank for this coming recruiting class. They will get it done.

Remember Thompson gave his redshirt year away for the last series of the football year.

Let's see...18 year year old kid at college, overly joyed up. It's one of either two things:

(1) He got a break on a grade from a professor

(2) The coaches told him to be ready to play Saturday in Dajon and Daddy Scholie Boy falter, or

(3) He got laid

"The Babel fish is small, yellow, leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier, but from those around it. It absorbs all unconcious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish."

Is he transferring?

Which ended up being a moot point when he was knocked out for the season the following year.

That's not really true. He still spent a full year of eligibility on one series. Just because he eventually got a redshirt doesn't mean that particular year of eligibility wasn't a waste.

That's not really true. He still spent a full year of eligibility on one series. Just because he eventually got a redshirt doesn't mean that particular year of eligibility wasn't a waste.

Actually, it's a good thing he got that series. Because he was redshirting that year free of injury, he would've lost that year anyways after he broke his leg. Had he completed the redshirt his freshman year, he wouldn't have been eligible for a medical redshirt (hardship waiver) his sophomore year since, as I said, he was redshirting his first year not for injury purposes.

Therefore he still would've been a redshirt sophomore after his first two seasons. The redshirt year just would've switched, and he would've gotten his redshirt during his freshman instead of sophomore year. So in hindsight knowing that he broke his leg early in his sophomore year, he might as well have played more his true freshman year and he would've played the same 5 years that he did, regardless of that one series.

In rare cases, students are granted a 6th year for medical hardships.

NT03 · October 18, 2014

Is it really tho?

Mean Green 93-98 · October 18, 2014

In rare cases, students are granted a 6th year for medical hardships.

Which is not possible if a player has taken a redshirt year. A 6th year is only granted where there have been 2 years of medical hardship waivers.

Hardly, a moot point when you are discussing the decision to waste a redshirt year.
