ZachTheZip Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I agree with ASN's take that the Ianello gang ruined football for him. It's sad to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I say good luck to him. He did everything the Zips asked him to do for four years and earned a degree. What's one more year of football? At some point, we all grow up and maybe this was that point for him. Playing college football really isn't a "grown up" thing to do because other people tell you how and when to do everything. You're really treated like a child. A little time away from it provides reflection and insight into another part of life as a grown up. I don't think he was much of a candidate for the NFL and I think he knows the same thing deep down inside. He is a hard working, smart guy. I believe he will do well in anything he decides to do. Again, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 It doesn't surprise me really. It was stated that he went to U of Arizona for their graduate program. However, many of the conspirator's on here couldn't buy that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akzipper Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Personally if I were him I would have at least played one more season. Even if the motivation is gone, this is something he may end up regretting down the road. We'll never know if he NFL talent, but with the way the economy is these days I'm sure any of us would jump at the chance to play a game for a living.

Z.I.P. Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 More power to BW. No doubt he has thought this through for a while. Hopefully he stays at UA and gets his MA. That is a really good academic institution. Brian will be a success, he always has excelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zestycoyote Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 It's hard to see a guy like Wagner lose his love for the game, but I respect his decision to step away. I think it speaks greatly about the damage Ianello did to individual players, let alone the program. If he's smart enough to walk away when he's lost the drive to play, he's smart enough to function successfully outside the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootforRoo44 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 More power to BW. No doubt he has thought this through for a while. Hopefully he stays at UA and gets his MA. That is a really good academic institution. Brian will be a success, he always has excelled. He already spent a semester in Arizona...he participated in their spring practices. It sounds like he is done with school and football however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psc2009 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 That's tough to see. He was a great player at Akron and could have been an impact player for the Wildcats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronzips71 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Can he be a walk on in the NFL or does he have to wait for the draft next year? The Giants have a near monopoly on former Zips, and I would love to see him get a shot here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't say he's done with college football -- he said he's done with football. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
