Is that like the Thorpe watch list?
Or is it like putting a Motley Crue fan on a douche watch list?
Lamar sounds like he was leaving....

Or is it like putting a Motley Crue fan on a douche watch list?
When this news hits him like a ton of bricks, he probably will transfer.
Seriously, I have heard some absolutely dumb stuff on here before, but the idea that wearing #1 automatically makes you a prima donna has got to be one of the most outrageously, dumb idiotic craptastic things I have ever heard. Somebody has to wear #1. Or I suppose we just eliminate #1 because we all know that the only reason why anybody wears it is because they are a prima donna?
Now you've gone from irresponsible to idiotic. What evidence do you have that he is a Prima Donna? Besides the number he wears, that is... that goes without saying. What else do you got?
Please try to contain your verbal insults. Normally, an intelligent poster as yourself, will bring value in the form of ideas and discussion without delving into the mud, because as you know, people only do that when they don't have anything else left to bring to the discussion.
I already told you my evidence.. AND I said watch list. This implies that I have not yet put that label on him, but am starting to see some evidence.
Now some of you can point to Westy, which is fine, but I don't see him saying things like: "Now I’m taking more reps and I feel like I belong, so I plan on staying.”
Maybe Lamar isn't a Prima Donna.. but it's reasonable to see those things and at least wonder about it.
The 'I plan on staying' context still seems like it's about staying with the program, not with the 1st group, because a person would not be saying such a strong statement in regard to second string vs first string. Look at the opposite of his words for a moment.. I'm taking less reps, and I don't belong.. if a guy was feeling that way, don't you think that is more in regard to how he feels about the program vs 1-2nd string? Maybe it would make more sense if he was 3rd or 4th string, but I don't think it supports the notion of second string at all.
Please feel free to actually discuss and bring something to the table rather than childish insults, because I know you are actually capable of being above that.
Again find the video, I can't post it because it belongs to a Pay site. When watching the full 4 minute interview, there was zero indication that he was considering leaving the program. None at all. The paragraph worth of quotes the OWH chose to print, were not in sequence.
you do realize that I wasnt the one making the statement that all #1s were Prima Donnas right?
But it's already been determined that Jackson hoorahed the coaching staff into moving Kalu to safety by threatening to leave the program. Why would you want to muddy up juicy gossip like that by watching the actual interview?
Or because they have murder in their future
To your point about the verbal insults, you are right and I do apologize. I get carried away way to easily on this board unnecessarily.
So much of this arguments depends on how you choose to read into comments made by these young men. I disagree about the Prima Donna watch list comment, if your only evidence is one quote and the fact that he wears #1.
To me, he has always been a guy who wants to be here, from the moment he visited against Michigan State. He hasn't sounded like a guy who feels like he doesn't belong here until recently, when the coaches "removed any obstacles" that prevented him from starting.
To me that's a leap to suggest that the only reason he is #1 is because the coaches moved Kalu to appease him. Is this a possibility? Sure it is... but I don't think it is likely at all. I think it is much more likely that the coaches want to get the best players on the field and if Jackson isn't the best guy for corner, he is 1a.
What doesn't make sense to me is to move a guy who has started 30+ games at corner to safety if this will weaken our team (because he should be playing corner).
So Nikki, we can agree to disagree about how we are reading the situation and the quotes from Jackson.
Again, apologies for my verbal insults. I need to be better than that. Unless it's Iowa fan that I'm responding to.
Actually, according to Elliot, they like him at safety if he can in fact make the switch. He has skills that would allow for covering the slot and it would allow for less use of the nickel package.
But from reading interviews with Diaco and Elliot, this has more to do with getting Lamar on the field. Diaco likes the fact that he is a big athlete that moves like a smaller one.

And that's kind of my point as well. This move had less to do with appeasing Lamar and more to do with making us better overall. Thanks!
this is one of the worst threads I've seen on this board in a long time.
Somebody likes to hype drama...... Maybe try one of the "housewives" shows?
That's EXACTLY how I took it. He plans on STAYING ON TOP OF THE DEPTH chart. Just my opinion so maybe I got it wrong too lol.
Holla
Hey Milhouse,
Go read just my posts and see how much drama I actual put out there! The answer is none but you wouldn't know that because you didn't read mine .... You just wanted to take a stab... Well good for you!
