[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131992162, member: 1812660"] He owed WVU a solid effort and he stopped doing that after one year. Cases like this happen in every aspect of life. Suppose someone gets too high on themselves or decides to rest on their laurels. If they get roughly the same treatment as they were if/when performing at high level, they do not strive for better. If they get knocked down a peg or feel like they've been slighted, they may just use that as motivation to achieve. Hell it so common sports movies use it. Rocky III is the almost this exact case. The only thing that would make that movie's concept and Oscar's situation identical would be: If after Rocky lost the first fight, he went on to trash Mick like he was a piece of garbage trainer and was the primary reason for the loss. Before going to the new trainer Apollo and putting in the work Mick begged Rocky to do in the first damn place. [/QUOTE]
