I was right, ACS left because

[Cowboy Junky]

he's a gaping vaghole. He did have a terrible(3-9) 2010 season and got the crap beat out of him on the field. I guess he even broke his wrist in the 44-0 game. Remember when he got benched for the TCU trip for some odd reason.

Still he quit, because he couldn't take a hit and his parents told him he needed to go somewhere else.

By the way, Brett Smith is the exact opposite. He needs to get down more often then not.

Here's the article about ACS leaving Wyoming:

I lost a lot of respect for ACS when I read that. He lied to Wyoming to cover up the fact that he was injured when he left. He didn't want people to know he was soft. Then he lied to the new football program by cutting off his cast because he didn't want them to know he was injured and soft. He let his mom convince him to leave because she was tired of watching him get beat up on t.v.

Thanks for leaving ACS. We have a quarterback now that isn't soft, doesn't blame all of his problems on the offensive line, and is honest with his university and his state.

Good riddance to ACS.

So he covered up his injury not only from Wyoming, but from Vanderbilt, claimed Wyoming wasn't going in the right direction, felt heart-broken because he left his girlfriend in Wyoming, and more or less alienated himself from everyone here. ACS is a quitter.

And now we have Brett Smith who is anything but a quitter. ACS leaving really was the best thing for Wyoming, because look what happened Brett's first season, and the rest write's itself.

I had heard that ACS and his family was the reason why he didn't play at TCU that year. Now it all makes sense. His mom didn't want him to get hurt, so they pulled some bullshit to get out of the TCU start and then started looking for better options.

It's embarrassing really. Hopefully he'll hold up at Vanderbilt. The SEC has some big hitters.

The moral of the story: sometimes it's better to lose people to transfers. Who wants a soft qb that is going to quit whenever he doesn't feel like getting hit.

The other moral of the story: Brett Smith is the man.

Same can be said for Doctson and Kody Sutton. Some guys cant handle Wyoming. They're soft and pampered. We're better off without guys like those. I believe we have a fantastic group of guys that can do huge things for Wyoming football.

 

[stymeman]

what a softy...it woulda been interesting if he finished, but I don't miss him all that much, wonder why he came here in the 1st place??

Kody Sutton - I had forgotten about him! Southeasten Louisiana / Southland Conference - BIG TIME DAWG!

He's going pro... in something other than football.

I like how they worded the article to make DC seem like an ass for not giving ACS a release, as if it were rare for a team to not grant a release to players...happens all the time.

 

[cheypoke]

There is another article on that websight about a rape investigation. Read it, ACS is mentioned and it is a bit disturbing.

I don't think ACS came across well in that article at all...he lied to both Wyoming and Vanderbilt?? Wow. I think we are much better off without the drama.

Murders happen all the time, wouldn't you consider the murderer an ass? When a young man, sometimes not even 18 years old makes a decision to attend a college, occasionally he may have a good reason for wanting to leave. I don't know if I'm reading it right, but if the person who recruited you is leaving, that seems like a good reason for wanting to leave as well. Why wouldn't you grant a release to a player, other than you just want to bust his balls or be an ass? I think this is another thing that can hurt recruiting. If a player is not 100% certain that Wyoming is for him, they may decide to play it safe and simply not come, if they think leaving will be real difficult. Then again, maybe it assures us that we will mostly get players that will stick, unlike years past, where it seems we had as many players leaving as arriving.

Comparing a murderer to a coach who won't grant a release? What?

This whole statement is stupid.

Neither of the players you linked are doing bad, Some people just don't like living 10 year in the past.

Sutton has a total of 19 carries for 111 yards and a td so far this year.

Says the guy who wants Brett Smith to leave after this season. A lot of us would like to see him in Laramie his senior season...

Maybe I didn't say it right, or maybe you read it wrong. I wasn't comparing a coach to a murderer, I was saying that just because something happens all the time, doesn't make it right. I just don't see the point of a coach not releasing an unhappy player, even if it does happen all the time. You attend Wyoming now, right? If something isn't going the way you'd like, whether it's classes, family, health, decide another school is a better fit, whatever, you can just leave and continue what you were doing. Football players can do the same thing, except continue what they were doing, unless the AD or Coach doesn't release them. Because a big part of their college life is football. That's my point, let them go and carry on. Them with their life and you (the coach) with yours.

Gotcha, that makes more sense to me. You have a very good point and using me is a good example.
I came to UW a few years ago, then decided on a major change, something Oregon State offers that UW doesn't, so I am free to go up there (when I quit being lazy in school). But if there is a kid on a football team who wants to do the same thing he can't go.

Lots of coaches do it yes, but I agree that it isn't the right thing to do.

I don't know any time a player is given a release. The article makes it sound like with a release the player can play immediately the next year. That never happens(except for the graduated senior route like Darden on UW). ACS was able to do what every college football player does when they transfer....sit out a year. In ACS's case use your redshirt while sitting out a year. I didn't even know it was possible for a coach to grant a player the ability to leave and play right away(maybe there isn't but thats what the article implies) but I do know I have never seen it.
