    ...Looking at the Kevin Smith example, it's very similar to Ty wasting Cesar Rayford's sophomore season. Was Rayford ever going to be an All PAC 10 player? Probably not but fuck, give the guy an extra season in the weight room and a chance to add 20 pounds and he might've done something at UW...

    This is no joke. Rayford, now 267 pounds, has appeared in 5 games for the Dallas Cowboys this season. The guy was a mega talent, and TW never scratched the surface (a la Hemphill, Chambers, Reece).

    This mantra of 'the best players should play' is dumb. Sure, if a true frosh is the best guy we have at a position, OF COURSE HE SHOULD PLAY.

    But, it's like saying if you have $500 today and are kind of horny, then you should just spend that money on a prostitute any time you have $500 and are kind of horny.

    OR--YOU COULD FUCKING CONTROL YOURSELF and save your money, then use it for something important down the line.

    It's not that complicated... there's an easy cost/benefit on this stuff, but Sark is too fucking dumb to do it and Doogs are too fucking dumb to question anything Sark says or does.

    Like hookers AND blow?

    ...Sick of you new fish popping off all the time and without a clue. You have zero idea why any one particular RS is burned. Both parties decide to burn a shirt, unless you're Ty, or an emergency (see Reggie Reser ) But you wouldn't know anything about that as you just received your student tickets for the 1st year. Learn a little about the game. Try dawgman, get your little feet wet and head on back...

    What exactly have the following players done to contribute this year that would be worth throwing away even a 25% chance of them returning for a 5th year

    String fellow
    Mathis
    King
    Walker
    farria
    Brostek

    Oh, and below is a list of guys who played for Sark or Willingham as true freshmen and left early for the NFL

    the question is: when they played as freshmen, were they the best option at their respective position, on the field, at the time?

    If yes: they play

    If no: they don't play

    how fucking hard is this for some of you people?

    Only Ross should have had his RS burned, the rest was fucking stupid.

    I can't believe Sark is thinking about burning Jernaine Kelly's red shirt.

    Cause I live a sad and miserable life I actually watched the UW-Cal game. They were discussing it how Sark told them he was thinking about burning his redshirt against Cal.

    I will see your sad and miserable life and raise you a pathetic existence: I attended the Cal "game" and watched it live.

    wait... so the best players shouldn't be playing?

    If I wanted to talk to people who couldn't understand the difference between best PLAYER and best 3RD STRINGER, I would just go to another website.

    Well, I think that gets back to the quality of player being recruited, don't you?

    I think it gets back to the fact there's plenty of talent on this team. Outside of the lines, we don't have a bunch of openings for true frosh. The problem is coaching.

    Since the season is over and its officially offseason might as well talk football...

    Blowing redshirts is fine for a) people who are contributing this year or b) people who look like they will be depended on (i.e. fighting for a starting spot) the following year.

    I have no issues with Ross, Stringfellow, Walker, or King playing as Ross was contributing and the other 3 have a decent chance to start next year. Fucking stupid to burn the redshirt on Mathis, Farria, and Daniels. And there should be a fucking rule that if you are an OL and under 290 you are redshirted and have a year to put on weight before being shitcanned out (Brostek...talking about you).

    Sadly, Kevin King played more than the other guys mentioned sans Ross
