Those who stay...

...will have stayed. ...will likely get a degree. ...may be champions, given they have good offensive lines. ...may be successes in real life, but not neccesarily any differently than if they left. ...will be Big-10 Champions, given they finish with the best record in the conference. Any other ideas?

Will be subjected to the ironical poaching of cliches to the extent that the irony itself becomes cliched, mealymouthed herdthink.  Those who stay might find this rather unimaginative and pretty goddamn annoying after a while.

WLA: I say traditions, y'all say cliches!  Traditions!

Admirers: Cliches!

WLA: Bravo, sirs. You're all heretofore certified as internet-ready, critically engaged thinkers.  You'll be tested again tomorrow.

To recap:

 I criticize what I deem to be a worthless post - seemingly created with the sole intent to provoke a chorus of by now well-rehearsed responses - that is part of a wider paradigm of WLA trying to impose a particular tone and orthodoxy on the comments of this blog, and doing so in a way that is pompous, irritating, and devoid of wit or intelligence.  

 Your response was basically a wordy version of "whatever, homo." 

 I guess you showed me.

I hear you man.  I mean, when I see YET ANOTHER WORTHLESS DIARY bitching about a decommitment, what I usually do is ignore it and move on with my life.  It's just not worth getting into an argument on the internets about whose opinion is more righteous.  So kudos to you, good sir, for turning the other cheek and ignoring what you deem to be a worthless post and moving on!

Oh wait...

While I'll concede that Phil Brabbs may be the last hope for civilization, STW means Special Team Weapon.  My friends and I used to talk about how Brabbs' proficiency in tackling left traditional ideas of mere "kickers" obsolete - he was a new generation of special teams weapon.  Also, he couldn't "kick".  And we were probably pretty drunk.

What about those who used to verbally committed but never were technically here so shouldn't have the "those who stay" tag applied to them?  Were they ever technically "here"?

I don't know about Brabbs, but Troy Nienberg fit this description for me. Somebody forgot to tell this kid he was wire-thin. He absolutely demolished a few guys. This wasn't without reprocussion. I remember hearing him ask if it was normal not to feel the left side of his body after flipping some kid from Northwestern.
