That's pretty much the norm. The "it's all about me" stuff reveals some flaws that exist in other areas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t paint everyone with the same wide brush (IMO). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some outside of the norm. M'ba clearly had a special situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see players considering themselves (me first is the way you described it) anymore negative than a player being “processed” off the team to make room for a potentially “better” player. We tend to accept that as just part of Auburn getting better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tend to accept that as just part of Auburn getting better. I'd say both are negatives. I wonder how many players who want to stay at AU, have kept their noses clean and done what is asked of them get processed. I'd guess very, very few. In recent years we haven't had a problem with the 85 limit, so there has been no need to move kids out who are doing their part. Troublemakers, slackers and the Me First guys may be encouraged to hit the road. I'm not aware of any solid citizens being processed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you name one who fits the description of a solid citizen and who has been run off against his will? The only reason to do that would be bumping against the 85 ceiling and we haven't had a problem with that lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider him to be a solid citizen (not sure of your definition of one). I am also not sure if he fits your description of run off, but fits my description of someone looking for more playing time that our coaching staff obviously was not going to give him. My point is all who choose to leave for one reason or another are not always bad guys and painting them that way is way to simplistic. I’m sure everyone is tired of our discussion so I will quit. Have a great Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll just make up whatever nonsense definition of good citizen or whatever that fits his nonsense argument and then he'll have you arguing about that instead of the nonsense point he originally made and which he knows is complete horse***t. He's got half this website wrapped around his little finger. Folks line up to indulge him. It's embarrassing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he could try to wiggle out of it, but a player who has signed is a lot easier to hang on to than one who has only committed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
