A glimpse at BooBoos future

Submitted by HelloHeisman91 on
BooBoo, the next Fortune. I would have put this in the BooBoo thread but it is locked. I hate Notre Dame as much as the next guy, but this just seems to fit so well.

BooBoo had to go. In the midst of a media feeding frenzy the last two years, this team has to be hard on crap like this. They are student athletes. If they choose to be only athletes, then get them out.... I feel badly for the kid and I am sure he will look back on his decisions and regret many, but he had an obligation. He knew what he had to do to fulfill that obligation, and he failed to do so. My 8 year old kid understands this concept so I think it is fair to expect an adult to be able to do the same. I hope he gets things straightened out. At least now he will be able to deal with his issues without the scrutiny of the press and the public.

sadly, it's more likely that he's going to transfer to a school where he can be just an athlete. The south? Apparently he wasn't much into being an athlete either. Not only did he miss classes and study periods, but also missed workouts too. Do you want to piss off Barwis? I have grown fond of my arms, and do not wish them torn off and fed to his wolves.

The kid will get his shit together. We all forget how immature and young these players are....even the Seniors. Heck, I am 26 and feel that I am still growing up. Yes, he made some mistakes and has now lost possibly one of the best opportunities he will ever have - A football scholarship to the University of Michigan - but you gotta be pulling for the kid. Any way you cut it, he is a great talent and he will be back on the football field somewhere. Hopefully he pulls it together soon enough to make up for his mistakes in Ann Arbor. We're gonna miss you BooBoo - showboating and all - You could've been a great Corner at Michigan. We hope you are a great corner one day - but it wont be here.

I wish nothing but the best for the kid and this might be a moment he looks back on someday as a defining moment that convinced him to get his act together. I hope it turns out that way, but I know he will be kicking himself at the same time. Seriously, how do you fuck that kind of opp up? I am surprised this happened in his second year and even more surprised it happened with his family and HS coach involved.

I'm 35, have a young child, going to have my 4th degree in a few months and still have a ways to go. I think everyone does it all the time. Hopefully.

Hey BooBoo isn't the first player to be kicked off the team and he won't be the last. Hopefully he gets his act together and can rejoin the team. There is definitely precedent for it. If not, I wish him the best of luck.

Booboo fucked up and is paying for it. Hopefully, this serves as a wake-up call, and if he can still get a scholly somewhere he will take full advantage of it this time. Between his size and his penchant for missing workouts, I would imagine that a lower division would be a good place for him.

Good luck BooBoo wherever you go. Too bad it didn't work out as I had high hopes after his recruitment. Here's to hoping this years secondary haul can fill some voids cause there are plenty back there both at CB and safety.

Please BooBoo, don't follow Mr. Feagon's example. Hopefully he can get things together because he definitely has a lot of potential. Rich Rod better get after some DB's this winter or we're screwed. Especially if Dono leaves.

Wish Cissoko the best. Not everybody can handle the pressure of being a big-time athlete at a tough academic institution like UM. I think he'll wind up where he belongs, and I hope he finds a place where he feels right.
