Hoopmanx is really taunting him.

I get that we're all [deleted] off at KF, but thats not necessary.

you clearly don't know a thing about hoop's opinion of KF from before he set foot on the Hilltop. I'll give him this, X sticks to his opinion.

I don't think he was saying anything about Hoopmanx's opinions being wrong or him not sticking by them but if it was necessary to publicly berate the kid with them.

It would be a good start in life to have one but you are correct.

Absolutely it's the employers starting point.

I don't think anybody believed Keith would get as far as he did . I actually was rooting for him to graduate whether it would work or not for him.

I wished people focused more on trying to generate their own revenue with their own business excetera and not worry about standing in line to compete for a job that will roll over you for younger cheaper faster.

[SMUstangs22]

Agreed. Not sure if the university name will make one bit of difference for someone like KF. Its either pro or bust.

Actually I'm well aware of his opinion, thank you. All I'm saying is you don't have to taunt him directly on twitter. I don't have a problem with any of the things he said, but to tweet it directly to him is beneath him and us. It really isn't necessary. He could've tweeted the same thing without including his twitter handle.

[Dutch]

where's the fun in that? welcome to the point where the wide wide world of sports meets the world wide web. we have the least critical fan base around.

[RyanSMU98]

Agreed. Not sure if the university name will make one bit of difference for someone like KF. Its either pro or bust.

OK, I guess folks got a little fixated on the whole "degree" discussion, but my larger question is why in the Hell do his handlers think playing one semester on a team as crappy as NTSU improves his chance of going pro? Starting as king of the midgets with no real exposure vs being a part of a top 10 team actually HELPS him? I agree it is pro or bust for him; just don't see how he gets there from Denton.

All that said, I'm glad he's no longer an issue for a special team & hope somehow he figures it out.

Hey guys, he's leaving the program for his reasons. If he's still academically eligible when he leaves, we don't suffer APR penalty. If he stayed and failed to graduate within 6 years, we'd lose points. I'd rather he leave eligible if that is his desire, than finish his eligibility and not graduate. I wish him well, where ever he goes and that he has success in life. I'm sorry things did not work out as he wanted them here.
