James Hudson
Why does every player rush for eligibility? A year to learn the system and get acclimated could be nice. Plus that 5th year option.
Because they're millennials who are used to getting everything they want by tapping the touchscreen on their smartphone.
Just kidding.
Or am I???
Serious question, when is the Millennial cut off? I was under the impression the college-aged kids today are Gen Z.
There isn’t an official line (same as other generation markers), but that’s generally correct.
Pew cuts off at 1996. Some go up to 2000 or so.
Older generations basically lump all the young people they criticize into the millennial category because it takes less effort.
You millennials are all the same---you all think you have all the answers!
/S
I generally categorize millenials as anyone who gets highly offended by a millenial joke.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!! Oh crap, did I just offend a whole bunch of chickens and peta???
I like chicken... especially fried chicken.
East German Judge is treating everyone to Chicken Dinner!!!
Zehnder's or Bavarian Inn, EGJ?
Not an accurate guideline as I get offended by millenial "jokes" because I raised 3 wonderful, hard-working millenials.
I generally categorize boomers as anyone who thinks a factual response to a tired joke = highly offended.
c'est la vie
Found the millennial.?
Hey, if educating people on statistical definitions makes me a millennial, so be it.
Under most definitions he’s not a millennial.
I'll rip out your eyes and piss on your brain
This year's orange crop is unaffected by the unusually cold winter.
I believe the quote was "I'll rip your eyes out and piss on your dead skull! You fucked with the wrong Marine!"
Different movie. Think about the username I'm responding to.
The most thin skinned generation ever. Never experienced real adversity.
Get outta here with that garbage. You don’t know what background people came from. That blanket statement is trash. When I graduated college it was right after the economic crash and unemployment was super high for all of us coming out of school.
You don't see the irony in your response?
My adversity was a whole lot less then plenty of people within our country, or other areas of the world. But I don’t think it’s thin skinned to call someone out like I did.
Oh spare me your bullshit. Because fighting for a job, any job, during the worst economy since the Great Depression wasn’t facing adversity.
I do think the millennial generation has its fair share of issues, but we’re not all the self-entitled douchebags you must think we are. Each generation is full of pieces of shit.
I'm Generation X and, it's wrong for the elder generation to criticize the younger, as it'd be hypocritical, as we helped cause the current conditions....
one exception... excessive tattoos on ones body.
I don't know. Moving into your parents' basement when you're 26 sure seems like adversity to me. Unless, of course, it's rent free.
It's not starving and living on the street.
No, it’s not. But have you lived on the street before? Has anyone on this blog? Maybe, but I doubt more than a few, if any at all.
I’d venture a guess that most Gen-X’ers and Baby Boomers have never lived on the streets before or had to fight and claw just to put food on the table. So using that as an argument against millennials typically doesn’t hold a lot of water because usually the person sitting across from them and deriding them has never been through that either.
Hudson already redshirted at Michigan, didn't he? I don't think it's surprising that he wouldn't want to lose a year of playing time.
Because he already redshirted at Michigan. Meaning he loses a year of eligibility while having to sit out via NCAA transfer rules
He could transfer to MSU and have 6 years left.
This is really the best comment in this thread.
The money is simply too much right night at the pro level now.
30 years ago, you could say “stay in college an extra year, and it will benefit your potential pro stock.”
Now, with guaranteed contracts, even in the late rounds, every player is just trying to rush to the league as quickly as possible, before getting an injury.
I’d do the same thing. The idea of honing your skill in college for free is way too antiquated.
Kids love playing the game! I think it is as simple as that.
For me, it should be...
Transfer, you sit a SEMESTER (or quarter). Then you're eligible to play without penalty.
Or
The player can elect/agree to sit a full year and get his year back only if he graduates. Even if he hasn't redshirted.
Give them 2 options, make it the same for everyone across the board and let the player and new team decide which way to move forward.
The reason is that he already used his redshirt year at Michigan. This year counts against his eligibility whether he plays or not. He will have two years to play two if cannot play this year.
Based on the rules, I don't see how he ever expected to become eligible for this year. The ironic part is if he had not transferred in the middle of the season, he would have stood a better chance for immediate eligibility if he had transferred and appealed during the offseason after Pep Hamilton was let go. Oliver Martin is most likely appealing for immediate eligibility based on the offensive coordinator change and watch his appeal get approved. Both players are in the same eligibilty situation: HS Class of 2017 with redshirt already used.
Yeah, he tweeted it out earlier today.
Cincinnati is still on their Harbaugh witch-hunt
Shame but hope he’s able to make the most of his time there.
This whole industry that has materialized around appealing for immediate eligibility is a fucking joke. Harbaugh's proposal offers an excellent solution in allowing a one-time no sit transfer to anyone who wants it. That way we can do without the lawyers, the endless "review" procedures, and the disgusting speculation about whether someone like Hudson actually suffered mental health problems or was faking it.
"Oh, my brain. It's broken!"
How dare you insinuate that a player lied about his mental health.
/s
Any word on Justin Feagin’s waiver?
I think his is still under review but Keith Jackson thinks he's gonna be cleared to play.
Dude, I got some bad news for you.?
Don't tell me I burned the pop tarts again!
Yeah, I can't wait to hear. It seems like a pretty big deal.
Justin Feagin: is bad
On the topic of Feagin, it’s a testament to how bad the Rich Rod years were when no one talks about or remembers we had a QB (who played in The Game as a freshman) who was the target of someone trying to burn West Quad down for not getting their cocaine
