For page 11Nobody did anything wrong in this situation. Wilson was looking out for his own future when he decided to play spring baseball. When that didn't work out like he hoped he gave Football one more shot. Instead of coming as the backup he wanted to impress scouts as much as possible so he chose a great team playing a pro style offense with plenty of weapons.Glennon wants a shot to play in the NFL one day, to do that he needs to play football. I don't know what he was told when being recruited but I'm sure it wasn't "You'll have to be here 5 years and only get one year as a starter." He would have transferred if he wasn't the starter.TOB is looking out for the team both now and in the future. There was a good chance that Wilson wasn't coming back at all, and if he didn't name Glennon the starter he would have transfered. Then if Wilson ended up playing baseball instead of college football we would be left with nobody but Brosius. "One in the hand is better than two in the bush" isn't a relevant quote because Wilson wasn't "in the hand" at the time the decision was made.The press will probably misinterpret the situation to make us look bad, but what else is new right?

well put. There isn't a villain in this situation and there's no point harboring bad feelings about it.I just wonder, if Wilson thrives and impresses and manages to end up in the NFL, what college he'll be credited from./ that's a big if though, his size will work against him but his decision making and throwing ability might make up for it.[Edited on September 2, 2011 at 12:28 PM.

Obiously he will be remembered for Wisconsin since his NC State tenure isn't what gave him strong NFL stock. But he still graduated from State, so he isn't completely seperated from us.

^^^^I would hope he still has pride in NC State and appreciates the opportunity. He wasn't that highly recruited out of high school (i know NCSU and Duke offered him, but not sure about others), and many schools wouldn't allow him to play both sports. NCSU gave him that chance and worked with him so he didn't have to sacrifice either, until this past off season where a lot of other factors and RW's own uncertainty became obstacles.

What makes me NC State is that I attended school there, as did my brother and my dad. I don't believe in superstions, like NC State Shit. I think TOB made the right decision. And I hope RW has a good season at Wisconsin (although I must admit, it was tough seeing him have a great game last night. I think I would have been happier if he just had a good game. But it was UNLV, they're not all going to be that easy.

maybe i'm just remembering the string of events wrong, but i don't recall wilson ever committing to play football for us at all, much less when it mattered. as i recall he was playing baseball, thinking about coming back, transferring. that's it. there was never a time where he said "i want to come play football full time" and TOB said "nothx". that just didn't happen.edit: you know what, i know that's true b/c i remember saying when he asked to transfer that it didn't matter b/c the rockies would never let him play another season of football. didn't know he was ready to leave TWO teams.[Edited on September 2, 2011 at 4:10 PM.

Wilson wanted to come back around the end of spring and be the starter.TOB said maybe, but Glennon would def be starting and Wilson would be the backup, since Glennon had been there all spring.Wilson said fuck that noise, you won't even let us compete to see who's better? Hell no, I'm going to a better team.Wilson ended up at Wisconsin.We'll see at the end of the year if it was the best choice.[Edited on September 2, 2011 at 4:23 PM. Reason : enough of this bullshit revisionist history guise]
9/2/2011 4:22:22 PM
^ not so much. Wilson wanted to come back whenever, not "around the end of spring". How the hell was he gonna come back "around the end of spring" when he was playing baseball? He wanted to come back in august and be guaranteed the starting spot, and TOB said "fuck that".

ohmy has got it right. thats why so many of us were so irate over the whole situation.
9/2/2011 6:01:09 PM
It was UNLV, but RW is already putting himself in this history books. Last night, he set the Wisconsin school records for most yards in a game by a single player.It wasn't just a good performance against a cupcake. It was a Wisconsin player's best performance ever against a cupcake.At Wisconsin, barring injury, he's going to do as well as a human being can possibly do in 1 season.^ Yep. The venerable JamesHenderson on packpride, the guy who is usually trustworthy and conservative wrt reporting rumors, said that TOB flat out told RW that he would not be able to compete for the start if he came back in the fall when RW approached him and said he wanted to come back.All the people who assumed that TOB acted in good faith are now being proved wrong with the little bits of information that are actually coming out from as good a source as we can get.TOB's decision had nothing to do with RW being undecided about football and had everything to do with favoritism for Glennon. Glennon transferring was the lesser evil compared to Wilson transferring. If that stuck us with Brosius next year, whose fault is it for not recruiting a QB between Glennon and Brosius? Second of all, a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. It's stupid to give up a guy who you know will be good this year for someone who you are unsure about next year. That's bad risk evaluation.This whole thing only logically makes sense as a total cover-your-ass operation by TOB. Just bad decision-making and poor leadership.[Edited on September 2, 2011 at 6:11 PM. Reason : .]

Glennon also said that while he was ranked among the five best prep quarterbacks in the country by ESPN, Rivals and Scout, O'Brien never promised him a starting job during his recruitment."It was always, 'The best man will play,' and I don't think he's ever changed that," Glennon said. "His word is his word, that's who he is."Read more: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2011/09/02/2572321/glennon-wants-to-take-control.html#ixzz1WpxanIJvI believe O'Brien and his word today that Glennon is among the best of any QB he has ever coached. He is a long term investment compared to 1 more season with Wilson.C'mon Glennon... you'll 65k strong behind you every saturday you play at home.
9/2/2011 6:33:07 PM
The big payout with Glennon is in 2012 guys. Just be patient.
9/2/2011 6:33:43 PM
Hmmmmm People actually buying that we are better off this season starting Glennon over who we would have started RW. Interesting concept...lets watch this play out. III

glennon never said he would transfer so you can't play that card. the only card you can play is that wilson is not here this year.
