hate it when people hit my car and don't leave a note, forcing me to punch my own car in anger and break my hand going into the football season.....that's the pits

Good news... Wonder if MAMA chewed his ass??

Foster obviously has maturity and anger issues he needs to deal with.  I can definitely see him punching another player on the field at some point (hopefully Rattler).

Eagles wasn't focused, had Sam mad at him, got benched in favor of transfers and Kai Fake Name Money, and could have easily checked out, but he got more opportunities and made the most of them.  That's what we need more of.

Not a doctor, but it would seem that Foster's mood swings and impulsive, self-destructive behavior are concerning as possible CTE indicators. I hope that's not the case.

Or: he needs to pee in a jar for a UDS...

De’Gabriel Floyd needs a word.  Have some fucking perspective BJ.  Get pissed, work hard and earn your way back.  Quitting is easy!

Repped for the parenthetical. Thanks for the chuckle.

Quitting in the middle of a game, who does he think he is ....Charlie Strong?

Yeah he’ll be back on the team in no time. Herman already let a drug dealer on the team (Leiteo), a guy that seemed ready to literally murder someone back on the team (Moore), another guy that quit during a game and allegedly punched somebody back on the team (Mitchell) and another couple guys that apparently quit during the off-season back on the team (Eagles & Cook). He had very little grounds for keeping Foster off at this point. Hope he can get back to the right place mentally and contribute soon.

As said above, glad they got Eagles involved. Afraid he’s another guy who could get a bad attitude if he further down the depth chart than he feels he deserves to be.

Hopefully coaches sit down with Foster and lets him know where he stands and what he needs to do to get back on the field.

Pretty speculative. Or a petulant egotistical kid who’s accustomed to getting his way. 

You find speculation about his character acceptable but not concern for his well being.

Youll have to pardon me if I give less than a fuck what you think.

The double down. You actually think it’s more probable he has early onset CTE than him walking off in a pissy huff?  Lol. 

Nah man, I wouldn't be such a fucking idiot as to presume knowing such a thing. You?

 

Lot’s of details we don't know. Being at today's workout seems to point to the possibility that he was making a scene of the sideline and was sent to the locker room for the rest of the game. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Nah it was obviously early onset CTE and nothing this logical

Obviously it’s CTE or he is Bipolar....those are the only reasonable explanations.

I don't think we should give up on emotional 21-year-olds.  

Sounds like BJ has been going through a tough time.

Give him consequences and put him in touch with someone who can help him work through his issues and see how he responds.

I bet Herman does something similar.

He made the decision to quit, so he should have to live with the consequences of that decision. Whatever those may be. That’s life and hopefully he learns something from this.

About time we get on an equal playing field with OSU, Bama, LSU etc.  Cant win big with choir boys. 

So, did he actually quit or was he pissed and just having a bitch fit?

c'mon guys.  The truth is obvious - the game was taking longer than he expected and he had a hot tinder date set.    Still undefeated.

seems like a bug that’s going around with athletes his age. Not making excuses, just seems to be a strata that was more down low in my day.

Right or wrong, we’ve spent the last 6 months letting the playerS hold the program hostage and make any demands about anything for any reason they deemed valid. No surprise that some of the inmates really do think they run the asylum.

This is the type of knee-jerk reaction we’re all used to seeing. I bet you’re a great parent.

I'm glad I don't have to forever live with the consequences of all of the stupid bullshit I said and did when I was 21. Fortunately I had some people around me to tell me to be quiet and take a time out, and then welcome me back when I had some time to reflect and change.

Awkward.  What’s up guys?   Can you believe I went to the restroom during the third quarter and couldn’t find my way back to the field.  That SEZ construction has me all turned around.

Even worse if you had to live with consequences of what you allegedly did...

He probably would have started next year at safety anyway assuming Brown leaves, although frankly my hope would be that Tyler Owens develops.   He’s apparently further off than I hoped when he was recruited, but he has a higher upside than Foster if he puts it all together.   Alford and Bowman lurking also eases the blow next year.

Is Tyler Owens best suited to play safety??  His build seems like he might need to be playing closer to the line of scrimmage...

Edited by LTtxfan

Whatever the problem is, I’m sure he has a much better chance of getting it resolved as long as he doesn’t seek any advice from this board.

Watch yourself, PLH. Don’t get personal about this. My kids, one of whom is severely autistic, would say I’m a great dad, but one who makes mistakes. Like everyone else. 

You went too far, brother.

I totally agree.  I made some dumbass decisions in my early twenties and I have no doubt it was because of CTE.  Mind you I only played Jr High football but those stupid actions can only be caused by CTE.

Like every dumbass in their early twenties I popped off, saying a bunch of dumb shit to anyone close enough to hear. I never committed a crime or hurt anyone, just thought I was so much smarter and misunderstood than everyone else -- even though they had probably gone through more shit in their lives than I'll ever know. I'm glad there were people around who could see past my words and see what was causing it, and what I needed. Same thing we do with our kids when we parent, and hopefully the same thing that these coaches do with our players when they need guidance. I personally think that some of the guys who broke the law shouldn't be back on the team -- that's a different level. But getting angry and running your mouth off, throwing a hissy fit, etc...it doesn't equate to a permaban to me. I also think this should be a one-time only opportunity. 

Epilogue to this scene, after Lee Cobb (a real asshole in the film, btw) threatens to kill another juror -- they let him cool off and then talked it out later. What a concept.

Then you can understand that kids make mistakes and shouldn’t have their lives altered based on an emotional decision.

Definitely didn’t mean to get personal with it. I’m sure you’re a great dad.
