Interesting indeed. It seems like he was more or less told to say it was a back issue versus a mental health thing.
Where do you come away thinking he was “told” to? You make it sound like Kirk was trying to hide something.
"It was not due to back issues that I left the program, Iowa simply worked with me to make that the public statement. I left on my own accord due to major depression and. [ sic ] anxiety amplified by a series of events." - Ezra Miller
It's quite possible that he didn't want to disclose the depression and anxiety he was having.
Or it’s just a given to have those symptoms when you’re a Hawkeye.
I'm not saying that can't be the case.
This right now is a VERY common problem in anybody enduring the stay at home orders, social distancing etc. College kids IMO are taking a beating emotionally. In many cases they're stuck hundreds of miles from their best friends and living with parents who they've maybe had enough of already. It's like they got sent back to high school except they're under house arrest. This sucks. Time to get college students back in school. They have virtually ZERO risk by being at school. Open the dorms and hire a bunch of out of work college aged kids to provide the necessary services. I guarantee you that IF colleges would open up and offer a quickie 8 week on campus summer session that they would fill up quickly.
Now this is more fair and a point I can understand. I will say this though, would he have to answer more questions if he said “personal reasons” as opposed to “severe back injury”? Without knowing, I’d think back issues would allow him more peace and quiet than leaving for personal reasons. Just conjecture on my part.
There are many reasons I can think of. Without knowing the guidelines; I wonder if you can get back on scholarship after you’ve “medically retired” at a certain school? Since, He told KF he was done with football, there may simply not be a scholarship available. A change of scenery makes the most sense to me though.
The next time you post something unexpected will be the first. You’re lucky to be given the freedom to post your nonsense here. Enjoy.
I believe Nebraska had a kid do the same thing, he retired from football but the next thing he’s was in the transfer portal
I prefer straight up honest Iowa trolls. The two faced ones that come over, to “just talk football” aren’t just aholes they’re disingenuous aholes of low character...

Is that supposed to be a quote from me? I’ll respond to you once in order to help keep this thread going in one direction, but are you mistaking me for someone else? Where did I say that?
You’ve always been a good poster for being a Iowa fan, I think some of the Nebraska posters need to get out of the house get some fresh air. You have been hit hard by imo unwarranted comments. One question when Nebraska was basically on top the college football world did you secretly root for us? A lot of supposed kst fans were closet nu fan. I know I live closer to Kansas than Lincoln
This is a very, very ironic post.
I didn’t imply that it was you, but you are correct he does play some. To bad he has a problem with Nebraska fans dislike of Captain Kirk and his toady son. I’ve never cared for eitherLike I said in my first response to him, it’s funny him calling out Headcard, yet him and his Iowa trolls post and say the same or worse BS about the Huskers, Scott Frost and the Husker fan base. I wouldn’t have said a word or even responded to him had I not seen that. And my issue is him and his Hawkeye buddies do the exact same thing, if not worse then any of us Husker fans. But he has an issue with Husker fans on a Husker board talking down on Iowa and Kirk Ferentz, really????
Like i said, he plays a few of our fans on this board like a violin.
I would have been 12 in 1997. I do remember watching the title game where FSU kicked a last second FG to win. My dad was always very anti-Nebraska so of course I didn’t know what I was rooting for or against.
When did I call out Headcard? You’re about to go on ignore like Rumbus. It’s not my fault you can’t seperate screen names in your head. (No pun intended) Feel free no put me on ignore or stop commenting on my stuff so I can converse with the good natured college football/Husker fans. Thanks.Like I said in my first response to him, it’s funny him calling out Headcard, yet him and his Iowa trolls post and say the same or worse BS about the Huskers, Scott Frost and the Husker fan base.

I would bet money that you don’t know anything about where he might end up.It's ok he's not going to Nebraska
I personally don’t care if people like Kirk because I’ve been on the fire Kirk train before. But if people are blatantly wrong about things, I’ll correct; as I hope people will do for me.
