Texaggie - I don't believe any of his QBs where afraid or ran away because he recruited other QBs. They all competed and didn't leave if they didn't start and all three played big parts in winning. Do you believe Murray ,Allen, or Tate would put up with being moved to WR like Miller? There is a difference in being confident and being a prima donna. Confident players don't demand you don't recruit other players at their position. Prima-donnas do. Confident players don't leave over competition Prima donnas do. Meyer had thugs but he didn't have prima donnas he had competitors. Being highly recruited doesn't make you a prima donna. Making demands before you have done anything at the college level does. Thinking a college owes you something other than the chance to be a college player does.

Citizen -Knight graduated an fulfilled his commitment. Big difference there!

Miller also blew out his shoulder twice. He understood any hope he had of playing in the NFL was not at QB. The A&M QBs that left still have NFL hope and are still in line to be starting college QBs. I don't think any will be top tier QBs but that doesn't mean they should give up hope of being such.

We only want players who want to be here.
End of story!!!

Do you believe he would be here at Texas A&M if he had the starting locked up at Oklahoma?

College football and hot dogs. I don't care how it's done just make sure the end product is good.

About time we got some real coaches on the offensive side of the ball.

Good luck to Tate, I'm sure he's a good kid.

Might help if you actually waited until they've coached a real game before handing out the trophies.

These Aggies are not prima donnas:



Gotta like those new Maroon Goons!

The problem is, to win in college football you HAVE to put up with it.....you think Ohio St didn't have a ton of prima donnas? Their rb was terrible in that sense....called the coaches out publicly. Sorry, but college football is made up of a bunch of 18-22 yr old prima donnas and if you can't handle them then you need to go Div II where none are primadonnas.

Sherman didn't recruit guys like this. And where are they now? 6 first rounders in the NFL.

Sherman's problem was game day preparation and management. If he had more of that he'd still be here and competing for championships. We should have given him one more year at least.

---

Sure he did. One was named Johnny Manziel.

---

A 3 star prima donna?

Was he promised the job when he set foot on campus or was it 1 1/2 years afterwards and did he have to work his way into the starting job and go work out under Whitfield for a summer before he got the job?

Sounds a lot like what Kyler did, doesn't it.

How can Sumlin put a prima-donna in his place that is still in High School. Look, I can pen point the exact day Murray checked out. It was the Bama game. He got popped really good. He didn't want anymore of that. He was never the same the rest of the season. That is why I didn't care if Murray or Allen left. Murray is a better fit for the Big12. In the SEC you better have a man at QB. Manziel was a once in a generation player. And he still got injuried and wore down. That is why I never liked the Martel offer. Is he talented, Yes. But guys listed at under 6 ft. and 190 will have trouble lasting a season in the SEC in my opinion. Just too many big fast defensive players week after week. Somebody will get their shot at you at some point every game. We have a 6'4" freshman, Hubes and I am really high on Knight. We have a top duel-threat QB coming in. Actually I believe this has more to do with Martel leaving than anything. Oh, and Allen just wasn't as good as everyone thought.

---

Who is that top dual-threat QB? Did I miss something? I thought that was Martell.

I disagree-----I think Saban and Meyer have the cache to put those prima donnas in ther place and do what's best for the team.......I don't think Sumlin has a clue as to how to handle that situation and he lets it fester so much that it's lead to players transfering.......I tink the leaving is a result of all the terrible leadership or cache

If you consult one of the links above you will find out something very interesting concerning the words "cache" and "cachet".

You might brush up on that spelling, too, when you get time. No hurry; finish what your smoking.

The term prima donna is feminine (linguistic) gender referring to the lead singer--usually soprano--of an opera. The feminine plural is prime donne. The masculine singular is primo uomo. Masculine plural is primos uomini, I believe.

Nope, I think prime donne is most appropriate in this situation... (the op)
