I say we start Riley @ QB next week.... Yeah I said it

Seriously? From what I've seen Derek Thompson will do a great job. He is the future of the mean green.

I feel bad for Tune though. He worked hard and came a long way, and was doing a a very good job as a starter, imo. Sorry Tune, I heart you.

It was evident last night that this young man's season and career was mostly likely over. He had a good game and will have that to remember the rest of his life. On a much smaller scale, I can remember the last Texas HS football game I played--just something about those last games I guess.

GMG!

PS: How unfortunate as he was on his way to what I believe would have been an QB self-improvement scenario for him week after week. Life is not fair. :angry:

PS II: Thanks Nathan for being a real trooper and hanging in there. You will not be forgotten in Mean Green Country.

GMG!

Nathan...You proved yourself. It is obvious that you were the proper choice to guide the team and we were behind you 100%. You should feel very good about that and look back on your accomplishment (winning the starting job) with pride. Last night I realized that as badly as I wanted to win, your health was infinitely more important. Get well soon! Go mean green!

Thanks to Nathan Tune and his family...what a champion he is -what a class act. So sorry to see it end this way but he will be always be remembered fondly by the students and fans for his contributions to the program. GMG!

Nathan is a class act and we should all be proud of his effort and the manner in which he has conducted himself. I'm sure that no one on this board wanted his career to end this way. We wish you a speedy recovery. May the best in life come to you and accept our thanks for giving it your best.

can't we request a medical redshirt for tune?

Yes, and it would almost certainly be approved.

(I'd say WILL, but I'm not the NCAA. However, this situation fits the mold of other medical redshirt approvals.)

Whatever he chooses after his recovery, I think Nathan Tune is the kind of player, teammate and human being everyone on the squad should look up to. He did everything right: worked hard, waited patiently, and was ready when he was called upon.

It really makes me think of Job, in a way. An extremely pios and successful man just gets hammered by bad luck and tragedies - proof that doing things the right way doesn't prevent life's woes from reaching you.

But, like Job, I think Nathan will continue to be who he always was. And that is why he will be ultimately successful in life.

Wishing a speedy and complete recovery.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
