I don't think dude could get over his personal issues from his past..* Isiah's insight into Buddy's personality was exactly right. He just doesn't understand his players, where they come from, their upbringing, etc. In turn, he can't really relate to them, so his only way of trying to get through to them is to blow up. For example, Isiah actually needed the treatment that Kam got from Buddy, and Kam needed the Isiah treatment. I also like how Isiah pointed out how a coach's self-interest will come into play and ultimately you'll see in them that they're just using you for your athletic ability, and as a means to an end. That whole, "Molding young men," is one of the biggest lies told in all of sports in relation to college football.
* It's kind of a microcosm of sports injuries too. Grown ass men telling kids they're faking, and they're not hurt because their livelihood is dependent upon them. shyt is brutal and sad.
* People are funny as fukk. I'm a lifelong FSU fan; going to be an alum twice over soon and I was reading their thread on this season on the biggest FSU site, and they were saying shyt like, "I could barely understand them.... They make me lose faith in our education system," and so on. If you switched most people's life circumstance(s) with Isiah, Rollie, DJ Law, et al., they don't even make it to Scooba. They'd already be dead or in jail before they get there. I mean, as a dude that's the first in my family to go college, little or no family resources, a high school dropout -- that whole urban tale -- it was a Herculean effort to get to this point. Moreover, I'm naturally smart as hell, my mom wasn't on drugs or no shyt like that and it was still hard as fukk. In terms of socioeconomic status and sheer probability someone like Isiah beat incredible and overwhelming odds to even make it to college.
* Misses Wagner may or may not have been sleeping with players. I will say this, it's indicative of our depravity as a society that the first thing a lot of people think is some sexual dynamic is afoot. We automatically have to make these sexual projections into situations. For me, she seems like a woman that genuinely cares and understands the plight of these dudes in a way that someone like Buddy never could. I also noticed that the players she was closest to were the players that were "seemingly" in search of something: Law, Rollie, Dakota, Tim and so on. She's not going to have the same relationship with a Deandre or John Franklin because they're not looking for the same nurturing consciously or unconsciously. She seems like a good person, regardless.
* What I find interesting about Kam is his great uncle/dad seems like a solid dude. He seems like the type of man that would cultivate the appropriate qualities in a young black man; but Kam was still a dikkhead despite it.
* Did Deandre throw 60 touchdowns? Goddamn.
Breh just seemed depressed and shyt..
From when they were all playing XBOX, and he was laying in bed..and the brehs were like
"This ain't your room
"..That and his haircut..and his demeanor..
Kinda remind me of myself sometimes..like he wants to fail..
ALso I can understand the brehs not caring about school..
They only care about the thing that they are good at, and something they can see themselves having a future in, and having fun at...it's not often people find something like that.
I didn't have a parent who did drugs, who was there, and but as far schooling I wasn't pushed to do well academically...I had parents who really only payed attention when I got failing grades.
These brehs prolly had parents that just sent they kid off to school,and as long as the prinicipal wasn't calling, they were happy.
You gotta knock the laziness out men early..these brehs get to college and prolly for the first time, they have people pushing them to do better,and have to put in effort in something outside of football. I think the brehs then start doubting that they can do it, and start to give up.
I see alot of myself in these brehs..

Crazy that Dakota Allen will be the only one to play at the next level
Rakeem Boyd with Arkansas. He looks like he got next level talent
Auburn could have used Ronald OllieNo we couldn't. He would not have made the rotation on our D Line.

Good for him, it’s great to see nice things happen to quality human beings. He seemed like one of the few D1 washouts on the show that was really trying to make the most of his second chance to improve as a player and a person. He wasn’t acting like he was too good for the team or the school, and just worked everyday to improve himself.
A lot of those other dudes could have went a lot further if they had his attitude.
Amazing turn around for this breh
Was dismissed and had to pay his dues at the juco level but redeemed himself. Got back on the same team he was dismissed from, and got drafted
