  1. Just to be clear, I never absolved Geno or Troy from any blame. I think missing the flight was pretty much all there fault, which I've said earlier in the thread. I really don't know why so many people care that I reference 22 year olds as kids. Whether I called them men, kids, students, guys, or whatever, I still put the blame of missing the flight on them. I also agree that the mom should be staying out of this.
  2. I mean, two kids missed a flight and it was reported by several major news outlets and posted all over social media. Think about how many positive stories about just some of the kids from USF that are written by Joey and Co. Rodney Adams, Quinton Flowers, Henry Beard, the list goes on. Those don't get any national coverage. But, this does. Yeah, I think it's stupid and is an overreaction.
  3. Considering I said "Which I don't believe", no, I don't believe they left the terminal. I believe the fell asleep, which is what they said.
  4. We don't know where they were, they could've been away from the terminal (which i don't believe, but we don't know) We also don't know if they were awake. I will fully admit, that if they were awake, with the team at the gate, and STILL missed the flight, that's embarrassing.
  5. Do you agree that missing a flight is a simple mistake? If so, then the media's overreaction to the simple mistake IS NOT a reason to question the responsibility of college students. Now, if you don't agree that this is a simple mistake, and you believe missing a flight is a serious mistake by these two. Then, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
  6. I took the article as him questioning the story of Troy and Geno. Apis pointed out that I was overreacting a little and that Joey was just pointing out facts, not questioning anyones story. He's right, but I would argure he could probably find something a little more meaningful to research and report on, but not important. I never said they didn't make a mistake. I just said I don't believe they wandered off. I think they fell asleep far enough away from the group that they weren't able to be woken up by someone, likely due to some help from some medicinal products. Which is a mistake.
  7. I do see what you're saying. But, I still disagree. You're right about Joey, I shouldn't fault him much. More so the adults who continue to chastise simple mistakes of a college kid.
  8. I don't think anyone said it was "the coaches fault", all he did was accept responsibiltiy. However, no one is blaming him. I also don't think it would be fair to suspend these kids. They do a lot of traveling, and it is exhausting during the season, especially towards the end of one with the amount of turmoil they've had. Mistakes happen, give them a break.
  9. End of the day it doesn't matter. But, trust me, these kids don't give af about the bars, restaurants or gift shops at an airport. And I doubt it was crawling with ladies trying to flirt with a couple of 22 year olds at 10 AM. However, I will say it's likely they weren't "right next to the gate". They likely sat maybe one or two gates over from the group to get away, not quite wandering around, and dozed off in the few minutes of downtime they had. I just think it's annoying for Joey Knight to put an article out questioning these kids stories when the alternatives (socializing around an airport) just really don't seem realistic in my eyes for a couple of 22 year old kids who just wanna get home.
  10. These kids are used to traveling, i don't think they would just venture off in a random airport when they know their schedule. I think the reason they missed the flight is pretty obvious, but my post was deleted.
  11. Eh, doubt it. And at the very least, I wouldn't say it's "likely". Airports aren't exactly playgrounds, so I'd say it's doubtful they were randomly walking around an airport when they knew when their next flight was.
  12. I don't know if firing Heath was the wrong call. I do know that hiring Antigua was.
  13. We should be favored in every game. But i just don't think we run the table with a first year HC, idc who it is.
  14. Wasn't the 2015 game supposed to be on Friday when the schedule was released too, only to be changed fairly last minute?
  15. Should send that to CCS. Bet he wouldn't mind reading about Texas' struggles.
  16. Would it be an issue that OKC's season will likely last into June, and our search process while ramp up sometime in April?
  17. I don't think they do a post season one.
  18. I didn't expect to see this. Looking forward to following him throughout the process.
