This is all so stupid but you’re apparently a school counselor who uses homophobic slurs so obviously you’ve got some thinking/psychological issues.
Lol.
Hopefully your kid isn't on my roster. Right Fritz?
They are already down to 86 total, and that includes 2 in the freshman class unsigned that most likely won't end up on the team.
Because he’s gay?
No. Because I'm a terrible school counselor.
Exactly. The guy is a 40 game starter at LT in the Big Ten East on a team that wasn't horrible. He is a grad transfer that had likely at least 20 schools he could have chosen from.
Right, because everyone on Halo acts exactly the same on an anonymous message board as they do in real life.... at their job. 90% of the posters here would be fucking unemployed.
I can't say about your overall competency, but you seem to lack the requisite compassion for a subset of high-risk kids. Or maybe you have the compassion but are so out of touch you don't realize hateful language is often cited by gay kids who've had a school experience that contributes to their ultimate suicide.
I think it went down basically how trawn described in his post. A post monster liked despite it contradicting his original post. But this is halo so that doesn't matter.
Ask yourself, Franklin, why can you use a hateful word on halo that you'd never use in real-life social setting (unless you're of the unfortunate segment that stayed in rural Iowa your whole life)? Because halo is a safe-space for some seriously socially fucked-up people, that's why. It's like a part of the darknet.
Your level of insight is astounding.
Wait, there isn't? I was finally able to free up a night, and hope for a win over Rutgers.
I’ve got some free time
That's deep.
Wait, I thought we gave blowjobs at Sculpture Park? If not a lot of you guys have been pretty lucky. At least I hope it was you guys.
Monster goes from properly pointing out dipshittery to himself being a dipshit all in one post. Of course he's going to have to compete for a spot like everyone else (which he will likely win). Just like he has no assurances that if Gholston & Evans are working him off the edge in practice, (due to bad technique or not so great lateral quickness) he won't get stuck playing guard (which is why he's leaving IU).
You no read good. I said what you said. Or, you said what I said. Being given "every opportunity to win the open spot" is a distinction without a difference from what I said, which was he was given assurances that as long as he doesn't have an injury setback or some other unforeseen issue (an arrest, poor grades, etc), he's going to be in the starting lineup. "Every opportunity to start" is just silly coachspeak that means the kid is a starter unless he fucks it up somehow.
And the only way that's going to happen is if his ankle hasn't healed properly, he gets arrested, bad grades, etc. Because as I've stated multiple times, this kid isn't coming to Iowa unless he's received some assurances he's going to start. He could go to nearly any school and start. Assurances isn't the same as a promise. KF brought Cronk in to start, and if he wasn't sure he would start, he would have told him that, and the kid would go somewhere else.
I think Kirk also gave him an honest assessment of his ability as compared to others. It is also possible playing guard at Iowa gives a kid a better chance at the pros.
Right. And the honest assessment he gave to this kid (with 40 starts at left tackle at a power 5 school, Outland award watch list) is, based on what we've seen, we see you as one of our starting 5.
I tried to edit that mean reply out. Clearly not directed to serge.
I gotchoo.
He could be a guard too. Which I'm sure was also part of the discussion. But I'd bet he ends up at RT with Kallenberger at guard.
It wouldn't be hard to believe that came with the coaches telling him "we believe you have the talent". So no, of course it isn't guaranteed, but I'm sure there was minimally a message that led him to believe it was his to lose.
As opposed to KF saying, "Well, we appreciate your interest, but we have 5 guys that are pretty solid. You can come in and try to break into the lineup. We would certainly welcome you to give it a shot and provide depth and leadership."
