Jacob Park to transfer

[cyhiphopp]

Seems the thread for it. Haven't been high at a football since like 1972. Roommates gal baked loaded brownies. Marching bank was particularly good that afternoon IIRC.

Well before the transparent bag era when we could bring just about anything into Cyde Williams, wine skins, all sorts of food, beer, etc. No sure if true but at the time someone at one game was swearing some dorm house or frat had hefted a pony keg up into the stands.

I had to think about it for a while, but I've never been baked for a football game. Sloshed for far too many and exceptionally hung over for a lot of games while I was in the band. That was rough. There were some games when I was in the ISUCF'V'MB that I was still drunk from the night before. Those were challenging.

Which does raise the question about how the band can be so technically precise when so many of you are sloshed during performances. I see how many band members are heading to the student tailgate lot very early on Saturday mornings. How do you do it? I would think that you would be messing up the music and the routines, but I can't remember even seeing a band member take a wrong turn in a half-time performance.

Did you stay in-step? Move after a hold? Any phasing problems?

We had completely sober members take wrong turns. They usually just recover quickly.
Usually you are by the same people in your section the whole time, so if you stay near your buddies, you are pretty close to your spot.

Also, the drill isn't terribly complex in college marching bands. If I had ever been drunk for a drum corps show I would have been screwed. That drill was all over the place.

I was a rock star, so I was usually ok after pregame. And pregame is the same every times so I had that muscle memory down.

Only once or twice did I feel like I was still drunk. Usually just really hung over. And then by the time you're on the field you can't think about your headache anymore.

The worst part was super early rehearsals on game days. Those sucked the most.

Is this a real thing or a joke?

Just Facebook rumors. Take it for what it’s worth. I just heard that he may be going to their combine to tryout.

I had expected to see Park be offered a chance to walk on with one of the following:
1. Wyoming - in the wake of Josh Allen leaving, and no one of his quality to take over.
2. Tennessee - With a new coach and no good prospects (at least in early Spring 2018) to play QB there.
3. UCLA - With Rosen gone and Rhoads in place as an assistant, I thought there might be a way for Park to sneak in.

Ultimately though, a 2.45 GPA and a history of smoking weed prior to big games doesn't play well with graduate college and a good sports program. Not even sure a Division III college would want to take a one year chance on a guy who has obviously had issues. Its very sad, because he had quite a lot of the tools necessary to be THAT QB.

In the 70's I knew guys that would clean out one of those 5 gallon milk containers that were used in those commercial dispensers in cafeterias and fill it with some sort of alcoholic punch and carry into games. Kind of like the box in the middle

He may have had the tools below the neck, but he was a mess between the ears. He has performance anxiety worse than a 40 year old virgin on his wedding night. He needs a sports psychology miracle to be a good QB, and there’s just not much upside in picking up a guy like that for one season.

The kid had a CANNON. Someone will want that.

I just hope he has it all together upstairs. I really do worry about him, he seemed like he might need some help.

If I had a nickel for all the kids that had the talent but couldn't put it together between the ears, I'd be very wealthy. JUCO programs are loaded with them. A lot go to FCS programs, but most just end up out of football altogether.

Park was, what, 3 schools in 3 years? He might be at strike 3 for his college playing career.

You're his dad?

Cyco gave you a thumbs down for this. That's cold blooded Cyco, that hurts.

Agreed. I'll admit that I thought for sure he'd get one last chance at an FCS program or a struggling FBS program just on his arm talent alone. Plenty of coaches out there think they can be the guy who can fix a player regarded as broken.

I don't know. Maybe he's just done with football. It happens. Whatever he's doing I hope he's in a better place mentally than he was last fall.

Maybe Park gave up when he found out KK wanted to play another year.

 

[Dandy]

He's keeping his football mileage low so he can be 1st pick in the 2020 XFL Draft.

 

[madguy30]

The chance was there for him to take the high road and buy in for the team. You either do or you don't.

Look no further than Mike Warren for someone that by all accounts gets it.

Looks like Jacob Park is trying to land a spot on one of the AAF (Alliance of American Football) teams. Good number of former high profile coaches in the league.

*edit just to put in here that I am not the Daniel that interviewed him

 

[Blandboy]

After learning how he rolls, I thought maybe he’d migrated to Denver...

Must not roll good enough to migrate to Denver.

 

[CtownCyclone]

Oni Omoile is on the Memphis roster.
Looks like Cotton-Moya landed on the Arizona's team roster as well.

FIFY - makes it easier to google.
