I certainly don't disapprove of him telling EO who is the boss. Applewhite has made his share of mistakes this year, but telling EO he doesn't get to pick and choose when he plays isn't one of them.

ALL the other players are running the SAME injury risk, but EO must think his NFL draft projection gives him super duper special status, allowing him to half-ass it through the games he did play this year until the injury and then try to save it all for the last game of the season.

When EO opted not to pay against SMU, it was clear to me he lost interest in the team's fortunes and was purely focused on his own fortune.

Time to jettison him, he's becoming a divisive distraction. Let him go get ready for the draft on his own dime.

No one is talking about it nationally, but Ed is fine, as has been instructed to not play, right?

Don't blame Major at all.

They were itching for some drama and they got it... But is all good.

I don't like them implying that the coach is not the boss of a team.

Applewhite had the right to tell Ed to take off the jacket 100%. Ed was wrong today.

But the rest of your post is pure garbage. Ed went 100% in the games he played. Half the time he was being triple teamed this year. Don't question the kids heart. If the reports are to be believed, he wanted to play next week. Kid hadn't fully quit on the team but even if he did that's his decision.

You'd have to have been delusional to just expect a NY6 bowl this year.

Shouldn't the press conference be on by now? Where is it?

If you want to believe he was giving 100%, well that's your perogative to believe what you want, I won't try to stop you.

But YOUR last statement is garbage. When you quit the team, you're NOT part of the team anymore. When you're not part of the team anymore, you don't get team perks/privileges.

I don't remember ANY of UH's former football greats acting like such an ass like EO did tonight, and if you think that crap would fly on ANY other team in world you're delusional.

Ah, here we go.

I already acknowledged that he was wrong today, but he hadn't quit the team. He stated before the game that he intended to play against Memphis.

It's on ESPN 8: The Ocho!

Also, what in the world was Ed Oliver thinking? Seriously, over a jacket, too. My wife was saying that his actions, including his bouncing and running around during pregame, have told her he cares more about his ego than the team. He cares about what he could get in the pros than making sure the team he's currently on has the best chance to win. His blatant overreaction to Applewhite enforcing a team rule should be a red flag to NFL teams.

Now then, Major Applewhite does have some responsibility to bear, too. He could've nipped this in the bud last week by saying to Oliver that if he (Oliver) is good enough to bounce around and act like a crazy person before the game, he can go suit up. That said, this is mostly Ed Oliver's fault. If he's been cleared to play, then he should be playing. If he's not going to do that, then send his butt home. That's what I would've done. (And maybe now, it might happen.)

Therefore, It's 80% Oliver, 20% Applewhite. However, in my opinion, this should hurt his draft stock.

D'Eriq King, on the other hand, should not hang his head. Freak injuries happen all the time, regardless of athletic ability. Heck, all it takes is for someone to step wrong and you can either break a bone in your foot or sprain your ankle. And you don't have to be an athlete (elite or otherwise) to suffer a freak injury. I feel bad for the kid. He'll bounce back by next year though.
