on Social Media yesterday. Listening to T&L and the said that he put out something on Social media yesterday which has irked a few. Hadid was quick to point out that he wasn't a reg student but a paid employee making close to 7 figures as well as the 2 bacckups.
Put out a photo that said 17 the haters. Not in great taste since you were the one who lost the game but honestly, people are just finding reasons to get mad at Shapen.Quote:

Not a good look for him, especially when you make the kind of money he's making.
I hate "fans" going after players on social media, but the player needs to ignore it all. He's an employee now.
The last thing we need is a guy that clams up under pressure putting extra pressure on himself to show up the "haters"
Or... that would be a good thing. If you know what I mean.Quote:

I think some people are thinking that this is NCAA Football and you can just plug anyone in and everything works great. Kamario needs work. He's having trouble picking up the playbook and having trouble making the correct reads. Look no further than Saturday. 3 of his 4 plays in the middle of the field were RPOs. If he hands off on even one of them, Gayten has a first down. He's gotten by on his athleticism for so long that he's still figuring out how to make the correct reads in real time.Quote:

No I know. You and I agree completely on this, I don't want to see him. Give him his snaps for experience. But I kinda want to see Luke, he is experienced and I feel like fits the mold more of Arnold than what Shapen gives us. Just at this point I want to see it.Quote:

He's not blaming anyone. He's telling them to shut up. Funny thing about openly paying players is while fans can criticize them for paying them then players also get to snap back. Is what it is.Quote:

Reminds me of when Tulu was excited about Barbay's offense and then got suspended for a game because he complained about the play calling when he preferred Will as QB over Wright.
Great point on the dynamic now with fans paying into NIL, and a player tweeting against fans.Quote:

Fair point. Shapen can go screw himself if that's his attitude. Generally, snapping your smart ass back at your boss gets you fired. Screw Shapen if that's his attitude. If Lebby and Selmon won't tell these players to shut the hell up and quit snapping at those that pay for their NIL, then we won't be paying NIL. I like Shapen, but don't run your smart ass mouth to the fans.Quote:

These are emotional 18-24 year olds that are living and dying with every play. I get the frustration. I don't agree with how he said or the medium he used but it's honestly a nothing burger. If he beats Texas then no one will care.Quote:

Honestly, not bad advice. I have seen some of the stuff that these college athletes receive after losses, and this was before NIL, and it's BAD. I can imagine it's gotten 5000x worse with NIL and being able to bet on college sports.Quote:

That's just crazy. People are crazy.Quote:

I?d say we have a guy with the proper kind of attitude to stand up and go while not taking anything off those not directly in his world. Good on you kid, stand up and go hard.Quote:
