Toure entering transfer portal

[alabamagrizzly]

“C’mon man!” He broke Randy Moss’s record.
And graduated during Covid!
Just be grateful we had him as long as we did.

Old school vs. new school

Slavery, blood letting, and believing the earth is flat were all “great” old school ideas too...

Boy, you really are quite a douche.

You probably never uttered the word, so to people that have , well you figure it out if you can.

Pretty sure you are still a douche.

GL to the fella. Old school, by definition, isn't the way of the world. There was a really old partner at my old firm who didn't believe in having a computer. He had his secretary print out every email he received, and then dictate a response for her to transcribe. She would then have to print out the transcription for him to make redline edits before she finally sent the response. Every email. He died. She doesn't have to to that anymore.

Kids be transferring. The way she goes, boys.

I know you are right but i just don't think its a great idea turning into a farm club, ask Bobby.

Oh, totally. But that’s the way it’s gonna be. Gotta adapt.

We could start recruiting kids that aren’t good enough to transfer up. That’ll make the old schoolers happy.

UM could also try to recruit more kids committed to playing for the team and not for themselves.
That would also make old schoolers happy.

If I ever get to watch live Griz football again, you will be missed Mr. Toure!

Good catch, quite a complimentary take on Mr. Toure's game. Love to see him play on Sunday, hard to forget the playoff performance.

With Smith and Hynson at OSU, that would be my guess for his landing spot. Then there's Papa Bear, who I'm sure keeps track of Griz football.

“Read's best success came at Montana, where he went 85–36 (.702), including three 11-win seasons and a Division I-AA national championship in his final year of coaching, 1995.[6][7] He currently resides in Corvallis, Oregon, where he participates in scouting and game planning for Oregon State football.”

And when the coaches decide to take away a scholarship, because of performance or lack thereof, how do you feel then?

it doesn't mean they weren't committed just not good enough for the roster, tough call but you know that when you sign
but
to be good enough and decide to call it quits, well hard time seeing that

So they have to be committed to the team, and the coaches, but if they aren’t good enough (aka if the coach was wrong about offering them a scholarship), the coach doesn’t need to be committed to the player?

Interesting.

Hauck was committed to Toure. Toure didn’t lose his scholarship. Your post makes no sense.

I take it that you don’t care much about playing for your team and teammates and trying to win a national championship, in from of your friends and supporters. Playing for oneself is more important to or okay with you?

In my experience, not being a team player and not being a good team member isn’t a recipe for success in work or life.

Old school views for me. Toure can do what he wants and I hope he is successful in doing what he wants. It’s his choice and his life.

But in work and in life, I wouldn’t hire or be friends with someone who was mostly out for himself.

Are you suggesting that Toure wasn't a "team" player? And as for "mostly out for himself", the young man has decided to take an opportunity at a higher level, but I guess any person that takes a job that is higher profile, and could be considered a step up , could be considered "mostly out for himself".

If you’re fine with players transferring up from D-II or NAIA (and we’ve had some nice ones of those recently: Rice, O’Connell, Mallory to name a few), then you can’t NOT be fine with Toure doing the same thing. We’re just on the other end of the transaction this time.

I HATE Oregon State. Despise them. But I hope he blows the fucking doors off the PAC-12 next season.

I'm pretty old school and was when I played. Then again no one ever mistook me as having major league talent in any sport I played. I hope he does great and gets drafted, absolutely no ill will for him pursuing his dream at another school.

This isn’t a boomer vs millennial thing. For cripes sake, the kid graduated! He fulfilled his contract. Just like Hauck said—“he did everything we asked him to do.”
So, your assumptions about him on the field or in the locker room, have nothing to do with it. You’re missing the point—the class room. Unless you have insider info about the kid’s degree, future work desires, and classes offered in his 5th year or grad program vs those at his new university, than you’re out of your element, Donnie!
It could be down right stupid for the kid to waste a year taking classes here.

You think he's transferring because he graduated and there are no grad programs he wants to pursue here?

Did he not participate in fall ball at all? If he knew he was transferring, it would seem that he might not bother with fall ball, and the team might not want him to participate in fall ball. Or, did he just figure out that there are no grad programs for him at UM?

Did he do everything UM wanted him to do? Didn't they want him to stay and play in the spring and fall? He isn't doing that.

I’m just following the logic train of the poster I quoted. You’re not reading it correctly.

We’ve had loads of kids transfer to UM because they weren’t getting playing time. Are they quitters? Just looking out for #1? How about Joe Burrow? Or Jalen Hurts? Those guys quitters, and selfish?

Pretty bold to call Toure selfish, and not a team player. And PR, at the very least, you are making assumptions that he is. I don’t think that’s any way to react towards a very good player for Montana. Grow up. You might be old school, but you still act like a child not getting his way.

And won’t he be trying to win a national championship, in front of his friends and supporters (he’s from OR isn’t he?)?

You think he’s not a team player and not a good team member, and won’t be success in work or life?

Why do you think your assumptions about his character are more reasonable than mine regarding his schooling?

Point is: unless you are in his inner circle, it’s really not fair to be critical of his decision based on assumptions, particularly when the HC said publicly that the kid did everything UM asked him to do. That’s the only conclusion we know to be true—it came straight from Hauck. You think Hauck is a liar?
