Don't think this kid was ever on our radar.

[fightingirish26]

Can't really blame him for wanting to just play football not school SEC type kid if I ever saw one

 

[IrishSteelhead]

No biggee. He can claim his "brain was hacked."

Sounds like that Adophus Washington when commited to OSU.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he was expressing how impressed he was with the SCar tutoring program.

That said, SCar must recruit a steady supply of student athletes that DO try to fail as 45% have succeeded.

SCar has only a 55% GSR.

That's the way I took it too.

6'5" 198 pounds at DE? You know that 198 is a stretch too, probably taken after a trip to the KFC buffet and a week without a BM. Otherwise they would just say 200.

 

[greyhammer90]

Technically based on the graduation rates wouldn't this be a "compliment" that could be aimed at Notre Dame?

 

[Irish YJ]

At least he's honest. These type of guys should just go straight to the CFL or other minor leauge. No need to waste the teacher's time or waste a scholarship.

I'm not gonna say that's racist but....your wording was....questionable.

I don't think it's racist...who likes KFC nowadays? It sucks.

Wait a minute...KFC has a buffet??? Why have I never heard of this...

 

[tadman95]

I like KFC, my dad knew the Colonel.

I didn't know that either. Does that make us racist by disassociation?

 

[koonja]

They're still making South Park so I assume people eat KFC.

 

[Irish.Ca]

KFC still has the best chicken sandwich, the BIG crunch. You eat one and shortly after, you take one.

 

[Crazy Balki]

It's all about Popeyes and Church's baby...mmm...chikin.

 

[nsideirish]

I heard this quote was taken out of context and he was talking about the academic support offered to football players.

Not sure though.

Yes.


And I only knew about it from people making fun of Brady Hoke in another thread. My KFC doesn't have one, for which my arteries are thankful.
