Gebbia is transferring

Jeesh man, the kid is doing exactly what most people would do. He sees a younger player take his spot from him, and he sees that he is not a perfect fit for this offense. Gotta go where your skillset is better utilized.
I think it's pretty cool that he stuck around after he found out that we would be running a dual-threat system. He gave it his shot, and is now moving on. Can't fault the kid.
We think a like I could be your brother with this thinking.
Probably could be said for most of us.
Good point, but you’re not around me on game day wheather it’s in the stadium or with friends in my home..
I get very excited or very upset at least lately since we sucked...
Well, sort of...
"At the end of the day, it's not about me, it's not about Adrian, it's not about Andrew, it's not about Noah (Vedral) — it's about the wins and losses columns and advancing people's careers," Gebbia said. "A lot of guys on this team have dreams and aspirations of becoming NFL players. There are guys with really important goals. A lot of guys are playing for their families. They love the game and want to play as long as they can, just like all of us quarterbacks."
If you tell a kid you are going to personally tell him, that is what you should do. Don't say one thing and then do something else.
When you tell somebody you are going to do something personally, you do it. Don't have somebody else do it.
Imagine that. It matters, when trying to understand someone's position on something, to actually read the whole thing and not just cherry pick the claim that makes your point ...
Did Gebbia attack you or something? Why do you feel you have the right to attack him?
You can be an NU fan, not dog on Gebbia and wish him luck all at the same time. Which fortunately that's what most posters here are doing.
It's amazing isn't it? I've deleteted numerous posts calling him a POS, etc. This board never ceases to amaze me. Frankly I should really expect it by now.
Do you have some unique insight that Frost actually told Gebbia that Frost himself was going to let him know?
I get that Martinez is younger, I get that Gebbia has already used his redshirt season, I get that the offense has changed, ect. I get all of the reasons why Gebbia would want to transfer... but him being upset that Frost himself didn't tell him seems to be a VERY petty reason to transfer and it seems highly unlikely that this is actually the reason.
All of the club sports, my kid first Dads I know would throw dear old NU out in a heart beat if their kid had half the potential Gebbua has.
He came here to play for a different coach and in a different offense. Just take a look at who they are recruiting. Genoa knows he’s not a fit.
Well, it was supposed to, as most guys would have better character to not dump on their current teammates for this season.
Man, some of you guys crack me the f--- up. We had plenty who did the equivalent or similar to what TG has just done in the past. Our current HC is one of them. You can also add our only QB Heisman winner as well good ole' Tommie. They all had QB controversies, transferred schools, sat out, whined to the press. You name it.
Disagree, not 5 days before your season opener. If he couldn't make the #1 slot by next spring, then sure, I would understand it. But you put that together with all the stuff that came out of his mouth this summer.. well I saw that and called it out on this board, but ppl didn't want to hear it I guess. I think he's of low character, and deserves to be called out for it. He has a better shot playing this year for NU than for anyone else. But to be honest, I'm over it already, as I have stated what I thought of the kid, and today he just showed everyone who he is, when the chips are down. SO, I don't give a rat's behind about him or anything about his future, because we don't need unreliable people like that around this program, and better to find out about it now, than later when a game is on the line. I can't believe the number of apologists that are defending that sort of behavior, from a QB no less who told you this was his home and on and on and on etc.
So let me get this straight, it takes character to wait until after school starts to announce a decision that you thought would keep a kid from transferring, but when that plan fails, the kid has character issues for transferring? Sounds errrrrr logical??
LOL. Then blame player for leaving at an inopportune time when he was put in that situation in the first place by his duplicitous and conniving coach.
I'd rather just admit there was a legitimate QB controversy. The costs associated with denying what others took at face value are turning out to be very high indeed.
I’m not. I’m saying people will. Sorry my post read is if that was my point of view, as if I’ll blame him. I think people will if this season turns
I might be the biggest Frost fan on this board. I almost named my kid Frosty but my wife vetoed it
you're not making any sense
The kid stated this was his team and his home.. SF was right to be concerned about him transferring, I just think nobody thought he would wait until after classes had started to do it, so it seems like something that would not have been anticipated, and why they dragged the supposed QB battle on for as long as they did, which probably had something to do with his reaction too.
Oh it's funny now, all you guys were accusing me of saying SF was a liar and this and that earlier this month..
The coach and the team needed that guy, and he bailed on them because of his low character.
You said Frost is waiting to announce the decision until after school started to stop Gebbia from transferring.
You then bash a kid for having no character, when this alleged deceitful plan fails.
You are making no sense.
In his defense, he is saying SF is a lowlife too. I’d rather just think both of them are decent people.
And I’d rather hold adults to higher standards than college student, and coaches to higher standards than players.
No, you all told me that wasn't the case, it was a real QB competition and that there was no way SF was a liar... they were really neck and neck..
So if that is the REAL narrative, then I do blame the kid. I'm just going with your narrative.
The fact is, I got it right but that's ok.. twist it however you want.
If I found out that the coaching staff was blowing smoke up my ass and that the only reason I was told there was a QB competition was so I wouldn't transfer, then I would be pissed too. If that's what the staff did, then they gambled and lost. Also, if true, it's a BS thing to do.
If SF was going to create a fake QB controversy to keep TG from transferring, he didn't do a very good job, lol. Tinfoil much?
The other side of that coin is, the coach has to keep depth on the team and win games. So in some ways, SF is in a no win situation too.
I have better things to do with my time than look through all 18 of those threads. Can you just tell us whether you based your conclusion, which you arrived at a month ago, off anything more than a hunch? And if so, what it was?
He should have waited another couple more days instead of announcing the day before classes began.
It was a lot of things, reading the tea leaves.. things people said, and a little reverse psychology, but it doesn't matter.
