I remember during camp Rhoads said Gannon was going to play a big part for us to be successful this year. I'm excited to see Campos play too but right now obviously Gannon was the guy. We'll probably never know what went down but no matter what is sucks to lose him.
LOL.
That's so ridiculously dumb that I don't know where to start.
He's obviously intelligent and has known for a long, long time that his chances of playing the NFL are basically zero.
Even if he did make it, he's smart enough to realize that NFL careers are short and rarely result in enough money to result in never having to work again.
Who is the new defensive coordinator and what does he have to do with an offensive lineman?
Where there is smoke there is fire. I've heard similar as well. (Shaking my head in shame)
This season has gone from will there be improvement? to how bad can it get? in a hurry. Yikes
Not helping. I think I've forgotten more of that class than I ever learned. For whatever reason, it simply didn't stick with me.
Because "from the player's mouths" they love Rhoads. They think he's one really quirky guy, but they love the guy.
They might like their position coach. They might like their teammates. They might like Ames. They might like the thought of playing in the Big 12 and have no similar transfer options.
Regardless, we had a starting Dlineman quit and a starting Olineman quit during the season.
If Rhoads hasn't totally lost this team, he's close.
Vermeil nearly had a player revolt with the Rams during training camp due to their "issues" with his style and practices. They won the Super Bowl that year.
Tell grandma she's going to need to get her **** together and bring her A game if she is going to report on the Cyclones./
I don't understand why so many of you are giving him a pass. He quit, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON - completely turning his back on his teammates. Chicken **** if you ask me.
If you're going to quit, do it after the 2013 season. Don't wait until one game, shrug your shoulders and turn your back on your team.

Hey nimrods... Players.
Plural. As in more than one. Some might like him, some might hate him.
Very good question. When you have senior starters quitting after one game, obviously there are problems. Maybe it's a personal thing, but I'm still not happy. I'm going to assume (read: hope) he had a personal/family issue and that it isn't a problem with the team/Rhoads/locker room.
I don't think you can't put "they" as in they all love him. That just simply isn't true. A lot don't like him. I'm sure a crappy season (last season) and a crappy start (this year) doesn't help.
Guess I am going to have to spell it out to you because, well I don't like name calling even when it may be justified. He is done in December, he clearly isn't trying to be in the NFL because he would minimize his distractions (such as really difficult classes) if he was, he realized that his career is more important to him than this season (can't blame him, he won't/didn't want to be in the NFL), and would like to focus on finding a job (because believe it or not, its not the easiest thing in the world to do these days). All of this combined is taking away from his focus on the field, so at this point playing isn't worth it. What's not to get?
