I would go one step further: It means that a player failed in some way to obtain the education/sports opportunities that he wanted coming out of high school. If the school is at fault in some way, that's no good.
I don't care who it was (even though multiple sources have said it's trice) I was referring to snitches in general
Who cares who it is?!? I mean really, first it was Fleming, then Kevin Brent, and now Marcus Trice?!? *smh*
I agree. If he snitched, he gets what he deserves. I just also think chemistry is overlooked sometimes and certain players add to the ambiance of locker rooms, but don't do much on a field. I'm sure this isn't going to be an issue, but I would like some good news if you know what I mean.
Exactly and it will probably go through every DB on the roster and some that weren't even there. People could also quote speculators on this message board "sources".
Im guessing if I really wanted to, I could create a rumor that alot of people would buy that Tony Jefferson or Hurst or Javon Harris was the snitch. Itd probably be scary easy: "One of my friends lives in the athletic dorms and he has heard from multiple players that (player X) was the snitch and now he is looking to transfer to (school Y)" In 2 hours, it'd be on Landthieves. In 3 hours, it'd be on orangepower. In 4 hours, it'd be on Hornfans and texags
it'd be funny, but would be mean and would hurt the reputation of anonymous internet posters throughout the world. I just cant do that to the "Delta"s of the world.
Trice had a blocked punt and a forced fumble that resulted in a safety, significant role on special teams. He was also rumored to be getting a try at WR this year. Great athlete and the most energetic person on the team by far. Sad to see him go, but wish him the best!
We have between 80 and 100 players who are not snitches, are not transferring to another school, are not doing drugs and/or drinking, who are not.....etc, etc, etc. There is the good news. I mean our scholarships are full. So we aren't picking up any 10 star recruits. What kind of good news is expected? If you had 100 or so 17-23 year-olds, and had 3 fall out for whatever reason - lonely, stupid, unlucky - that's a pretty good track record.
Seems like he made the choice for the right reasons then. If he truly wants to keep playing, then OU wasn't the right place. I hope he does well wherever he goes.
So he wants to go somewhere he can play, yet is willing to sit out an entire season to do so? I guess he got the impression that he might not ever be a starter to make that kind of a decision. Good luck to him wherever he goes...tough decision.
