Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4144298, member: 26"] Didn't someone also explain that the BBQ you can find at Texas gas stations is better than BBQ you find in the North, North East, and West? I'm not surprised about that. I was in New Orleans about 20 years ago and one of my fondest memories was eating some great food. As for Amber, I wish her nothing but the best. I have no opinion on whether she could actually play at "a" division 1 school. Maybe she could, maybe she couldn't. Could she play for some of the lower teams in not good conferences? I have no idea. Maybe she'd never be a starter even for them. I have no idea. I just hope she's happy. I'm saddened that this thread about wishing her well about where she was/is headed turned into a "she's not good enough to _________" fill in the blank. I get that she was not good enough to be any kind of rotation at UCONN. She's not alone. Players like Engeln, Banks, Ekmark, Boykin, Coombs, and probably Gordon were unlikely to ever get serious minutes off the bench either. Maybe a few of them could have (I'm not trying to argue about how much PT others who left would have gotten had they stayed). Walk ons over the years like Kraus, Healy, Gelfenbien, Czel, Marron, Fernandez, Pulido, and Lawler all had varying degrees of skill and some played more than others, Most lasted all 4 years ad the ones who were only here for 1 or 2 for the most part were because they came from other sports or needed a player for just 1 year. Some ended up being offered a scholarship before their 4 years were done. Bottom line, the walk ons were always among the most popular with the fans, and any time one scored at the end of a game, not only the fans, but the bench as well, erupted in the loudest cheers of the night. I hope Amber finds what she is looking for and is happy no matter where she ends up. [/QUOTE]
