LosAngelesZipFan Posted August 28, 2010 Report Posted August 28, 2010 How can he not know that SU is playing at UA? Why isn't the U/football program attaching themselves to the hip of JT? That's kinda a bummer to me... Quote

That's kinda a bummer to me... I also find it disappointing. Our Athletic Dept. is probably too busy kissing the backside of someone who never played basketball at UA (and changes with the wind) to concern themselves with an NFL star who is one of our own.

Blue & Gold Posted August 28, 2010 Report Posted August 28, 2010 I wish we saw a lot more of JT around here. Quote

I think it is more complicated than that. A problem we have is the constant turnover when ADs change every 3 years. A positive about George Van Horne working in Athletics is he is committed to UofA and should develop a lasting relationship with JT. Even if George takes another job in Development, he should always maintain the JT "account". I agree with the LBJppreciation Day nonsense was just that...nonsense. What good came out of it? Quote
Zipmeister Posted August 28, 2010 Report Posted August 28, 2010 Different strokes for different teams. I know a guy who played on the Akron soccer team 40 years ago, has moved three times to three different states since he played, and he still gets a couple of letters a year from the soccer team keeping him updated about Zips soccer. Does the football team do that? Quote

I'm sure it's more complicated than I was making it. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to poke at "NBA Player who never played for UofA"-Appreciation Day. I agree George is a good man who is committed to UofA; perhaps he will work something with JT. Quote
Dr Z Posted August 30, 2010 Report Posted August 30, 2010 How can he not know that SU is playing at UA?NFL players in training camp are pretty isolated from the outside world. Not a big surprise to me. I'd be happy if the local newspaper gets the day and time of the game right in Saturday's edition, and not on page 6!?!? Hope to see some more JT face time on Hard Knocks this week. That show rulz. Quote
