Herff,
So u enjoy IKE's cologne, it's called Guaranteed

Not a quitter where it matters...getting a degree.

Congrats to the young man on his degree. Hope he finds a landing spot. IIRC, he was a package deal with Patrick Taylor.

Travel Well. Catch a few if you can, enjoy the wins when they come, if she has a mind to, then **** her…

Best of luck to him. He did more for the Tigers than most fans ever will.

Thats the new college landscape.

I agree he is a quitter. There is a time and place for everything. There are always extenuating circumstances, and some are more important than continuing to play for your team, don't know the details here beyond this threda. And all coaches who quit during the season for a better job are selfish aholes. Players who quit during the season are letting their team down. There is way more off season than season. You have plenty of time to decide your short term future. 2 games into a season seems wrong.

I also wonder how any team can have dependable depth with this transfer rule that seemingly allows you to transfer at any time. Do the current rules make it possible to transfer at halftime and play for the other team in the second half?

My son was once talked into baseball by friends. After a few games he wanted to quit. I told him he couldn't, he had to play out the season, that was his promise to the team. I told him he never had to play again. A few games later he knocked in the winning run and I thought he might start enjoying the game. He didn't and never played again. But he kept his word and played out the season.

Nick Saban...

Quitter.

Saban was getting killed in Miami and he was miserable...So he quit and went to Alabama.

So I guess by definition many of us are quitters...Hell I quit many a job for a better situation.

Wow - that was very moving. Was your son Wally or the Beav?

Seriously, you have no right to call this young man a quitter as you know nothing about him or his circumstances. Pitiful for a grown man to make comments like that on a message board. Geow up a little, pops.

Tarik Black was a quitter. He would have started on what was going to be at least a Sweet 16 team; he bailed on his teammates and the city. Fairman or anyone who isn't getting a lot of playing time aren't quitters. More than likely, he left with the coaching staff's blessing. David Wingett was also not a quitter.

The term "quitter" typically carries highly negative (and inflammatory) connotations. Sadly, it is often loosely tossed about without considering context. We should all be cautious when using the word. Some posters on this board obviously do not agree with this approach.

I sat next to Tarik on a flight to LA back when he was with the Lakers. We talked about Memphis, he loved Memphis and his time here as he told me..."I wanted to go to Minnesota ( I am pretty sure it was Minnesota) so that I could experience other parts of the country then I got a lot of pressure to stay home from family and friends,"...he went on to say that playing or Pastner was OK but it got old and his and other players growth didn't see to materialize during that part of a young coaches tenure. He got his degree in three years and moved on.

I see nothing wrong with someone who got his degree then went onto another school. He owed Memphis nothing more.

Hey STAMMERS--one of your heroes just contradicted you (post-33)---every single time that I have called TB a WHO -I get blasted-----every single time they blame it on --the last coach to actually take us to our last few trnys

Your hero said that WHO loves MEMPHIS---but that didn't keep him from trashing the program on the way out. ...also his love for the city didn't keep him from stopping them from announcing that he is from Kansas --when he was in the FIXED/FAKE/RASSLIN league

How many times did you tell him how much $$$$$$ that you have given the university----did he love the photos that you showed him of the lake house

I am still amazed that someone who reads and writes at a level where it seems to make sense to type "hero's," who doesn't know how to copy and paste, thinks that Penny should immediately be a great coach, and Cisse should be able to learn everything about basketball in 4 years.
