[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 130621485, member: 1488840"] Ok... I think I see the difference now. Just a few things to clear up. To you, this bowl game holds extreme value against a strong opponent that we can win only if Will Grier plays. Correct? To me, its a glorified scrimmage with no value either way other than getting some extra practices in for next years squad. Plus, we get a preview of what next year's team might look like with Allison at the helm. That could be a good thing, right? You see Will and Yodney as quitters who are potentially causing their team to lose this game. I see them as doing what they think best for their futures. That would be a fair assessment, correct? You alluded, in an earlier post, that Will was not the reason the team was 8-3 and that he was responsible for two of those losses. I believe he is the reason we are 8-3. So, if you believe he is the person responsible for 2 of those losses, why would you want him playing in a game that holds this much value in your eyes? Wouldn't you WANT him to "quit" and not play so we have a better chance of winning? Would you be equally upset if Matt Bezjak, Dante Bonamico, or Lorenzo Door didn't play for some reason? I wouldn't, as long as they are doing what they feel is best for their future. According to the logic you've prescribed the answer is yes but I'll let you determine if that is true. Just checked the roster of the Senior Bowl. Grier, Cajuste, Sills, and Wesco have all accepted an invite to play. The reason they are doing this, I assume, is to show pro scouts what they can do and possibly be a higher pick in the draft. You believe that preparing for this game early and not playing in the bowl game makes one a quitter. I see it as being sound financially and eliminating a possible risk to your financial future. Agreed? You stated that the university has shelled out thousands for Grier (and I would assume the others also) so he has an obligation to play in this important bowl game to show his appreciation for that? Correct? I see it that while WVU has shelled out thousands for him and the rest, they have brought in MILLIONS to the university and have more than paid that debt back in full. Am I right on that? Just seeking some clarification on some things.... we seem to be making progress. [/QUOTE]
