That's by design. Since our members aren't spamming new threads all the time, relevant stuff stays on the front page, and similar discussions aren't happening in multiple threads at once.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

You're right; it's ridiculous. That's why I keep all my tax paperwork scattered about my house.

You're old enough to pay taxes?

Hah Just celebrated the 19th birthday last month. Where were you?!

Everyone talks about the degree, but what about the experience?

No one likes being chopped liver sitting on the bench. And I don't know him personally, but I know he catches a lot of hate on campus. Not directed at him, but at his playing ability.

Can't have felt too good to have an interception cheered by a home crowd either during the spring game.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Spot on.

Sock Puppet is that you under a nom de guerre?

It's been explained many times that this board was set up to make things easy to find.

Toward that end, rather than clog up football threads with whine, there's a place for that here:

Help, Feedback, and Suggestions

Feel free to start you own thread in that Forum, where it belongs.

The Experience? Obviously you don't mean the ND experience where he's getting a $200K education that will make him a millionaire and cost mom and dad allowance money?

The Experience where he gets to become a Notre Dame Man and not just some college dude?

The Experience where he gains a Career and not in the Arena Football League?


Tony Rice and Kevin McDougal had a ton more talent that Rees does. How'd their Experience pay off in the NFL? More recently what Round was Kellen Moore drafted in?



And as for those jeering him, shame on them. He's a classmate, one of the family. He doesn't play for the NFL making 7 figures a year. If anybody needs to transfer it should be them.

This so true.

I agree too.

By experience, I mean the actual day-to-day life at school. You can say degree degree degree all you want, but if you're having a bad experience, then it doesn't seem worth it when you're in the moment.

And when I said people stood up and cheered for his INT in the spring game, I was there, and trust me the majority of applause and cheering did not come from the students. Some did, but not exclusively.

 

[Irishbounty28]

Per Chicago Tribune his hearing was continued to July 24th because of scheduling conflicts with his attorney.

 

[NDdomer2]

I am starting to think we have seen the last of Tommy Rees ON the field, and he may already know it.

However, if that is the case you have to applaud a man who is willing to swallow some pride and really try and help this team.

“His work has been done in the classroom,” Kelly said of Rees. “His work is really working with the quarterbacks. He has a lot of experience; has played a lot of games. When we call a particular route, he can give insight and has been very valuable.”

“Tommy is an invaluable resource,” Hendrix said of his classmate. “He’s won a lot of games here, so any chance I can watch film with him or pick his brain about plays that’s who I go to right away.”

"So many times we'll be talking in the room, and he'll be like, 'If you need anything, I'm here for you.' "

 

[CarrollVermin]

I would disagree. I hope that I am wrong, but I don't think that either of the other quarterbacks is ready for the big stage. I think that after Navy, Tommy will be back at the helm.

 

[Damion704]

and Tommy is?

 

[CarrollVermin]

and Tommy is?

For all that can be said about Tommy, he at least knows the offense. Getting people in the right place with pre-snap reads is very important. I don't think the other guys are ready for that.

 

[RDU Irish]

Any way you slice it, Tommy was never going pro. Helping the team win and being prepared to step in if needed at the University of Notre Dame is not a bad lot in life. Tommy has always been a great kid and I hope the best for him, I just don't see him getting back on the field unless there are a rash of injuries or Hendrix and Golson completely pee down their leg, two scenarios I refuse to acknowledge.

Proves he's a true team player.

[Irish YJ]

I'd love it if he stayed although I still have doubts. He brings a lot to the table as a back up, and he has a baller's mentality, so hope he decides to stay and support the team and get an education.

 

[Irish YJ]

Nice, LMAO

 

[Old Man Mike]

This seems pretty simple to me. Golson &/or Hendrix vs Navy = pretty good? ---> no Tommy vs Purdue. Golson &/or Hendrix vs Navy = mediocre to poor? Tommy might start vs Purdue. Golson &/or Hendrix good in both Navy and Purdue games? Tommy definite back-up for quite a while. Not a lot of mystery here to me.

How do you know that?

 

[CarrollVermin]

How do you know that?

Anecdotal mostly. If you listen to BK speak, you sort of get the idea that this is not exactly either of their strengths.

 

[NDdomer2]

So we should play a guy who knows what play to call and what the defense is doing and STILL throws int's? I would rather the kid throw a pick because he DIDN'T know what the d was doing.
