I wonder if Frank would take a chance on him at Ohio? It might be an even better place to mature for the young man. None of us want to glory in the mistakes he has made and I don't sense that in the posts I've read. Tom did reasonably well at getting troubled kids to walk the straight and narrow by holding football as the carrot till they saw the light. He took a lot of flak for the LP incident but Tom did well at not walking away from troubled kids. Let's hope for this kids sake he finds his way in this world.

So people mature more at Ohio University than at Nebraska? First, the whole CB/WR rant for Dixon and now this? What are you talking about?

I didn't say anything about people being more mature at Ohio than here. My only thought being that it might be better because it is a small community, he could start with a clean slate and might have a better chance to succeed. He has been in some trouble in Lincoln if I remember correctly.

As far as rants go....I'm only throwing out thoughts. You can agree or disagree with them. If you have no opinion either way or consider my "rants" as garbage please ignore them.

 
Ohio is one of the biggest party schools in the country. Surely not the easiest place to "mature." I thought someone mention he was going to SDSU? Maybe I am making that up.

Not tryin to start an argument or derail a thread, but the kid had issues and his father sent him to Nebraska thinking that will cure his problems and get him away from trouble. My point, where was his father when he needed him most. But I do agree with, kid luck kiddo, and add, hope he grows up and finds a way back on the field.

I heard Damon Benning mention on 1620 about a week or so ago that his Dad had some motivation issues while at Nebraska. Apple may not have fallen far from tree...

I just checked the Top 20 party schools.....and Ohio is #3. Ok...I have nothing more to add. I'm out.

Hahaha, classy. Kid is only 18 and has plenty time to turn his life around.. it is possible to look at as maybe Senior isn't doing as swell off of the field considering what would appear to be a lack of discipline in his son's life but hey, I don't know them at all so I really don't the whole story. Maybe you do.

Most people who don't have their sh*t together at 18 never get it together. Maybe I'm wrong and he'll get things turned around, but my hopes aren't high.

I hadn't heard much bad about Mike Sr., but maybe he's not much better. To his credit, he could play ball though.

Wow, I don't think that is true at all. 18? I remember dumbs kids in school that got it together later on and I remember super smart kids that fell apart. I think you "get it together" during college and after college.

Some kids do, and in some cases, college just fuels it.

He may get it figured out, but I don't like what I've heard about him. Just not the kind of kid we want here.
