auburn4ever 1,266 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Rutgers guard Jerome Seagears compared Auburn to Mars. “It was just different. It’s like trying to go to Mars,” Seagears, who briefly transferred to Auburn in the offseason before heading back to Rutgers, told SNY.tv's Matt Sugam. “Try and live on Mars. It’s a whole new environment. It was going to take a whole lot of time to adjust to.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying one is better or worse....but no question....while New Jersey has some great places to live, it is definitely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,271 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I could see how a kid from New Jersey would have a tough time adjusting to AU. Would have been smart on his part to think about that prior to transfering....but what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,740 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Oh, the po' lil' thang couldn't stand "culture shock"? Guess what, tens of thousands of 17 and 18 year olds go off to college or the military service every year and manage to adjust. We're better off with this spoiled brat back in New Jersey.

aucanucktiger 1,798 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yes...well...any non-toxic non-waste non-dump is Mars compared to the State (University) of New Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANSBY 0 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Dude didn't fit in down here and decided to move back to NJ, I ain't mad at him. I bet if they sent me up to NJ for a week or 2 I'd be finding a bus ticket back to the Plains pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHeal 4 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 *** this *** It's better for us and him to find out now, than him trying to stick it out for a while and then going elsewhere. He man'ed up that's all.... hell yeah...not that it's a choice I'd ever make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a bad decision...not the first guy to do that.....but at least he dealt with it right away instead of moping through a season. And I love the comment from Barbee today about some players last year being "sensitive to criticism from team mates". Hope the babies have moved on for this season.

We're better off with this spoiled brat back in New Jersey. comments like this make me wonder, never met folks like this at Auburn. Took pride in the fact that we wish people the best. he quickly realized that this was not the place for him to continue his future. Best of luck to him and sorry this was not a place for him to finish his career, as a northerner who went to the South I greatly appreciate all the values and great education I received, but I understand and respect his decision and the fact that he did it quickly and allowed the team to react and develop.

Tiger 8,830 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I guess its more PC to say that than "I saw what the roster was made up of first hand and ran all the way back home" hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,740 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I left home and joined the military service shortly after my 17th birthday. Maybe if I'd had an option I would heve whined about "culture shock" and crawled back home with my tail between my legs. Lucky for me, there was no such option.

berrytgr 0 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I would probably feel the same way or worse if I moved to New Jersey. That is a very very different place than Auburn, AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
