Not a good few months for Kent alums. First ET now Harrison. This guy was on campus less then a month ago. Not good news. What the heck are these guys thinking? Bad publicity for Kent State

Bad publicity for Kent State


No, it's not.

He has been gone for years. Years. As far as this being a reflection upon where he went to school, there is none. Too long. Does his high school look bad? His kindergarden teacher?

It could accurately be said this is bad publicity for the Pittsburgh Steelers, there he is an active employee.
When you have two of your most sucessful players in recent history getting arrested for assault within months of eachother it doesnt look too good? Too long are you a fool? Harrison graduated 4-6 years ago. That isn't long! It still reflects bad and I am sure it's not making Laing happy to hear this news about some guys that were well respected and had great careers with kent. That was the point. Yes, it is bad for the Steelers but to see our athletes or former athletes keep getting in trouble sure doesnt look good either.

(Sigh) Ok, I see you are one of those people that don't let facts get in the way of your opinion. Let me help you there.

Harrison last played for Kent in 2001. This is 2008. He was undrafted in 2002. He will be 30 years old in two months. 30...years...old. Yes, that is a long time ago and he is far past reflecting poorly on the university.

So, to answer your question, I am not a fool.
