Seriously do wish him well but if you’re defending him leaving mid season you’re showing your true colors. It’s not a mistake that will define him and honestly I get it.. I might have done the same thing. But it is a mistake.


From first page:

I don’t think Gus did right by him, and that’s that. I don’t like quitters though. Joey was loyal as a recruit for years, so this rumor isn’t like him. I still think Joey leaves after the season, and that’s okay.

How disappointing. I understand (and expected) him to transfer, but the timing is a mistake and a slap in the faces of his teammates. He does know he’s stuck in Auburn until the end of the academic semester, right? Unless he plans on dropping out of school

He literally quit the team today. I understand he why he did it, but it isn't a way to order your life. He should have worked hard and bit his lip for the next few weeks then left. Gus would have still been an idiot for the plan he had/didn't have to use/not use him.

Can you be in the portal and play at the same time? Theoretically, being in the portal would ensure he could find a spot before classes get filled. If he could play while also getting contacted, that would be great.

whats really sad is now he has to sit in class with his peers looking at him. Shame will set in shortly and he will regret this decision.

Sometimes a man is filled with so much conviction that he has no choice. Think of the frustrations we have towards Malzahn and multiply that for Joey. The silver lining is that if Bo can't lose the job (he obviously can't play his way out of it), then it won't change personnel and will serve as a badly needed kick to the nuts for gus.

I honestly don't know but you can contact other teams and remain on your team. They just have to notify your school they were contacted.

Team Gatewood may need counseling after this


Get back to me in a few years when Nix still can’t hit the broad side of a barn and Gatewood is tearing it up somewhere else. I take comfort in hopefully this will be the final mistake Gus makes, and he finally gets canned.

So what are his options now? Can he transfer to a 1AA team or lower and play now? Next year? Could he play D1 after 8 games next year? Or does he have to sit out a full year?

I remember when Roc Thomas transferred out. Didn't the starter go down the following week? You never know when you might get your shot. He should've finished the season.

Shouldnt have used it this time.

I don’t like the imagery. Makes him seem like a self-aggrandizing douchebag. Why not just release the text to the press and leave out the melodramatic graphics ?

So how many posts you up to in this one thread? 13?

The guy simply made the loudest statement he could make with what he had to work with. Why do you think he did it now? Instead of the more quiet and accepted method of not rocking the boat at all.

He could of said all manner of things and instead decided to let the world fill in the blanks. He didn't go ballistic or vocal, he just very politely thanked everyone and closed the door knowing what he worked for at Auburn would be lost, forever gone. To move on now was to publicly bitch slap Gus with a gentleman's glove.

And he probably still doesn't care that this clashes with your wall of old (golden-day) participation awards.
