After a player is gone I don't care if he plays well or not. I care about what they did here.
I also agree that I do not want former Huskies to be an advertisement for UConI
Newsflash;
A great deal of the players playing last night were originally from other teams. and many of them were transfers from other Power schools.
This is just the reality of college football. Not saying everyone has to like it, but it is what it is.
n as a glorified farm team.
I don't hate any player that leaves (and the timing of Marion's departure sure made sense for a talented player) but also find it difficult to root for someone who left us, for several reasons.
There's lots of examples of guys who stayed at less prominent schools, even FCS, for four years, and had great careers in the NFL so you don't need to leave UConn to make a pro career for yourself. We're not what we were when Marion left and the NFL will find you if you're good.
Having said that, the MS QB sure helped himself by leaving Ferris State, but we're not Ferris State and need to be seen as more of a destination, not simply a way station.
Now, when John Lista becomes a star in the NFL, I'll be happy to hear he's a UConn guy............forget his years at Penn.
Then there's the pounding a player takes (let's use MSU as an example) in the B1G every week. Did Cam and Ben make the right decisions? Will they hold up against a schedule with 8 or 10 tougher opponents than BC and Syracuse?
We'll see, but they're gone and I'm not going to watch their stats, wish they were here if we're struggling, and ask all the "what if's" as we play our schedule.
