Jim Jim not happy

[Harry]

Senior running back Antoinne Jimmerson elected not to travel with UNT to the game at Louisiana Tech on Saturday, interim coach Mike Canales said Monday.

Jimmerson ranks 13th in program history with 1,799 rushing yards, but he has seen his role diminish as sophomore Jeffrey Wilson's role has grown.

Canales said Jimmerson has been dealing with a friend being shot last week and has also not been pleased with his role. He had 5 yards on 12 carries in his last three games.

Hey Vito! Where is the story on our disgruntled play signalers?

[GMG24]

Weak story, Jimmy is pissed because he ain't making plays and someone else is. Move along.

Vito's burying the lead here.

I wish someone would talk some sense into him. I've been in his shoes. He's going to miss the life. He has less than a month of football left for the rest of his life and when it's over, it's over. There hasn't been a Fall I didn't miss playing and more importantly hanging out with the types of guys that are attracted to football. You don't get a comical cast of characters like this in the real world. He doesn't realize he will even miss the travel, the never ending meetings, the beat downs in practice, the weight room, conditioning, off season early mornings, ass chewings, and I could go on. Anyone who's lucky enough to be in his shoes needs to appreciate every second he has left.

I got my ass kicked around as a scout teamer in high school and rarely ever saw the field, and I miss that to this day.  Well said!

Candidly not to raise the topic of the draft Chico movement but I agree with him. No one should be begged to play football. You are with us or against us. Whether you are happy with your role of not you are playing fbs d1 football a chance most will never get.

He's probably mostly tired of people calling him JimJim.

Jimmerson is a senior and needs to be a leader no matter what the situation is. However I believe he is done mentally and just counting down the days until its all over.

Sad

Everybody is quitting except for the guy that really needs to do so.

Come on, Mean Green!  Stay with it until the end.

I haven't seen anything that looks like quit in Canales.  Maybe he's auditioning for a job.  I like what appears to be discipline.  I'm surprised that a scholarship athlete can decide for himself what games he wants to participate in and those he doesn't. 

 

 

GO MEAN GREEN

[aztecskin]

Its funny that the day he decided to sit at home he had a wonderful opportunity to step up. Wilson fumbled everything ever, and AJ could have stepped up and handled things.

 

 

[UNT86]

So, he just quit as far as I'm concerned.

I hope they tell him to hit the road and have a nice life.

Character issues abound with this guy.

Maybe he can get a job at Walmart?

He's pissed, who cares? Jimmerson is getting a free education & playing D1 football, something a lot of kids dream of. I'm pissed at him for getting arrested for shoplifting at Dillards his freshman year & getting arrested again this year at 2:00 am, not only embarrassing himself but his family & his teammates. He's had some good highlights here, who can forget the ULL or Rice games? Stick it out and grow up Jim Jim.

I have to give props to @ntsumgspe. Today he referred to Jimmerson as "The Jimmy No Show".
