Re: Mizzou suspends DGB

I'm assuming the recent suspension would be his 3rd offense if I read the article correctly. Show some will power DGB and you will be a multi-millionaire.

Is it just me or does anyone else see a pattern with this young man and many others? :rolleyes:

Re: Mizzou suspends DGB

Pressure to succeed, pressure to perform, poor role models, idolization, kids make poor choices, addictive personalities. Mix, mash, stir, repeat. There, you have a good chunk of college athletes. It's been happening for over fifty years.

Re: Mizzou suspends DGB

I don't think he got much discipline growing up. I remember seeing an interview with him and/or his parents, talking about their reaction to a meeting with Nick Saban. I can't remember how it was phrased, exactly, but I got the distinct impression he didn't want to be coached by a hard-edged coach.

If I remember correctly, he was "adopted" by a family like the kid in "Blind Side". Very affluent and no real parenting going on.

We probably dodged a bullet on DGB.
IMO: He would have wilted at Alabama. Resented being told what to do. How to do it.
Ego would have taken a hit sitting on the bench.

DBG is very talented, but until he accepts discipline and instructions willingly... :conf2:

Re: Mizzou suspends DGB

I'll make two points on DGB:

(1) I'll be the first to admit that he has generational-type talent, but for all of the hype he hasn't actually produced much of anything. His true freshmen year was nothing of note, and while he compiled some impressive-looking counting stats last year, he basically racked up a lot of catches, yards, and touchdowns against bad defenses, and was mainly a non-factor against better opponents. You get a lot more sizzle than steak with him.

(2) He'd never last a full year in Tuscaloosa. Kids who sign with us and who go on to do this type of stuff are usually one-semester-and-done under Saban.
