Scotty and Rohan both have UNC offers.

Has Belichek ever coached in college?

No, but his son has.

If players want to leave, than so be it. Two tears in a bucket. Fu.ck it. Take it to the sage. I'm still pissed Prukop left to play for the Nike Ducks. Totally different deal with these players. I really don't care how they do at their next stop. I just don't care. Pack your stuff and leave. If you come back, wear you last teams gear. Not MSU's. You're no different than a Ex. Don't want to hear from you. Don't want to see ya. Stay away. SEEEEEE YAAAAA!

Yup. Right or wrong, this is how I feel as well.

There were a couple times the last year or two I saw some of the recent transfer guys at a cat football game (guys who were still active with their new team, watching the cat team that they left)….

Honestly my immediate reaction/feeling was- why are you here?

Probably because the players are more mature about people transferring for new opportunities than some random adults posting on this board. I assume they wanted to support their former teammates and friends, and every single one of them put on a Bobcat uniform and hit the field more times than you did.

Do all of you shun people you’ve worked hard with when they leave for a different job?

The vitriol a few of you have about these guys is quite embarrassing and out of proportion. It’s just a football team.

Thank you...I was going to say that on an earlier post. It's really quite embarrassing as a new fan to see old a** adults acting so childish about athletes chasing a dream. It's really quite sad.

Agreed. It’s just a game. Not life and death. Sports are important because they take our minds off every day life. They aren’t supposed to be every day life.

I hate when people say "It's just a game". It's not a game. As soon as money is involved it's no longer a game, it becomes a sport. As soon as the participants are paid it's a business.

Five year olds play games. Semi-pro college athletes play sports.

It's everyday (real) life to the people involved, some of whom invest in the program and players. That doesn't mean people shouldn't avoid getting overly financially and emotionally invested but don't act like this is just organized recess either.

How is it vitriol. MSU as.a program does not generate revenue to support the new buildings, nutrition, recruitment, trips home. So boosters and fans get asked for more money over and over. Expecting a kid to stay after some constantly talk about the program, fans, support, etc and then run off. People can be pissed if they want. What is going to stopNIL is enough boosters realizing no matter how much h they throw at kids someone will do more and he's gone. When they figure that out NIL will come back to reality.

What would change it is schools making a commitment to the players.

If you want a player to stay, put him on a contract.

It’s the one sided nature that bugs me…teams have zero interest in making a commitment to the players, why on earth would we expect players to show more loyalty to the school?

As a fan, it is just a game.

A game I pay far too much attention to, and obsess over way too much, but at the end of the day, just a game. I refuse to let the disappointments of the game, which will always be there, ruin my day. I just don’t have time for that. This is just for entertainment, nothing more, nothing less. The Bobcats winning doesn’t make me a better person, them losing doesn’t make me a worse person. Perspective matters. It’s just a game at the end of the day.

I’m not saying you can’t be pissed. I’m saying it’s embarrassing some of you are so pissed, in my opinion.

Well, it's just a job then. A job is important, but it's not the end of the world if it isn't going well. Jobs are important because they give you an income and stability, but it's not like you can't get a different job. A job isn't your life and if it is you're called a workaholic and the people in your life begin to avoid you. Kind of like when you're too wound up about your favorite sports team.

Does the portal close today or tomorrow for the cats?

Does the portal close today or tomorrow for the cats?

Tomorrow, which will be the 5th day after the National Championship game was played. Overall I think MSU is doing pretty well so far since most expected Moore and Humphrey to transfer.

Bingo! Which I struggle with. But, I've gotten much much better about over the years. The reality is, the Bobcats are going to break your heart every year. So, why take it personal.

This one is a little different in that he was out of eligibility, and then got it back with the recent rule change regarding Juco, but yes I like this.

Polidore just posted a similar one!

[AFCAT]

Can't post the link for some reason but here is a screen shot. I was worried that he would leave.

[4KornerKat]

Collective is tagged in both of those, I wonder if they just signed a new agreement.

[Travelingcat]

Can't post the link for some reason but here is a screen shot. I was worried that he would leave.

Wasn't that worried he'd leave, but Polidore is a really good player in run support so I am super glad that he is back.

Would love to see us adding some transfer names right now to build momentum. NDSU has already added two and I don't think any of their players of note have announced a transfer away.
