Just my opinion here…. The thing about UW football is we are in a situation where we have to reach on quite a few players. Maybe some guys that aren't necessarily the cream of the crop kids character-wise. Guys like Chris Prosinki being exceptions. With that being said, we will continue to lose players year after year because of simple attrition. There is a reason that guys like Sutton got passed on by Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A/M, Houston, Baylor, TCU, Arkansas, Arkansas State, etc, etc. It is because they usually come with loads of baggage.
I don’t mean to degrade Sutton, but I am so disappointed in him. He will be what would be called an “Upper Classmen” next year. He isn’t even sniffing the field right now. Yet, he continues to rave about how good he “once was.” He talks more about his high school highlight video than what we can do to help his team. His twitter is filled with drama of girls and the newest electronic he put in his car. (If you see pics of the new screen in his car, the screensaver is his HIGH SCHOOL picture!) I just see this (realizing they are still college kids), but dammit guys! You are getting whacked by inferior competition and you are more worried about your new shoes and “Never had to chase no gurl before…they be chasin me’’ kind of bull@#$% that permeates from his Twitter. Cowboy up and get on the field!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can these guys not see the big picture. Sutton is tweetin dozens a time a day. How bout you hit the game film Kodi and contribute to this team already. Do you like finishing 0-11? Do you like being the super senior still in HS??? No one gives a flying %^$# anymore! Balls up and play Cowboy football.
This is the reality of Wyoming football I am finally starting to realize. For every awesome kid like Brett Smith, we have some complete douchebags. No, I am not saying the “majority” of the players are idiots. I am just stating that when these players leave it can be for a myriad of reasons:
1- They are complete wimps (Doctson)
2- They are cry babies (ACS)
3- They can’t get to the next stage of life and be an adult and live by rules (TJ Smith)
Players leave every programs every year for one reason or another. I wish TJ the best of luck. Hope he makes decisions that doesn’t affect his life negatively. Always sad to see someone make a decision that affects getting an education and could potentially get them on a wrong track.
