Title: "Former Alabama O-lineman walks away from football after 2 games at Ohio State" Post by: WALL-E on September 08, 2014, 06:02:02 PM Former Alabama O-lineman walks away from football after 2 games at Ohio State
Title: Re: "Former Alabama O-lineman walks away from football after 2 games at Ohio State" Post by: Chechem on September 09, 2014, 05:50:02 AM Quote Chad Lindsay's post-Alabama football career came to an unexpected close Monday. Lindsay, who transferred to Ohio State during the summer, announced he was walking away from football after sustaining a "serious injury" during fall camp and experiencing a setback last week. Lindsay sent an e-mail to outlets that cover the Buckeyes, including Cleveland.com, to confirm his decision... Hopefully Chad will be okay. Maybe the Urban Meyer malaise is contagious!

He should have stayed at Bama.

He should have stayed at Bama. Something really turned this guy against Alabama and gave him some type of animus toward the coaches and/or program. He's at Alabama for over 3 years, wins 2 National Championships, and this is what he has to say. Quote "I have had a great career and I will always be grateful for so many wonderful experiences. I would like to thank Coach Meyer, the coaching staff, players and trainers as it has been an honor to be a part of The Ohio State University football family. I wish the team great success for the remainder of the season. Go Buckeyes!" A shame he chose to make such a jackass statement to a program that did nothing for him. :dunno: Title: Re: "Former Alabama O-lineman walks away from football after 2 games at Ohio State" Post by: SUPERCOACH on September 09, 2014, 11:46:50 AM Quote He walked away from football when he transferred to Ohio State. :lol: I saw that in the article comments yesterday.

So maybe he transferred because he thought he did a better job but didn't win the starting spot.
:dunno: I don't have a problem with his statement. That is the team he is on now, and he was addressing the media that covers that team.

That is the team he is on now, and he was addressing the media that covers that team. That was his team for what, 5 months, but he earned a degree at Alabama and played on NC's and he can't say ONE SINGLE positive thing about Alabama. Something isn't right and you don't show such a callous disregard for former coaches & teammates you lived around for 3 years.

Something isn't right and you don't show such a callous disregard for former coaches & teammates you lived around for 3 years. I don't see why he would specifically address the team he is no longer on when talking to the media that covers his current team. He has already left Alabama, so why would he inform the Alabama media/fan base that he is walking away from football? Besides, I am pretty sure he was referring to his time at Alabama in the first sentence: "I have had a great career and I will always be grateful for so many wonderful experiences." This was simply an e-mail that he sent to the Ohio State media outlets to let them know he was no longer on the team.

Wow, one whole vague sentence which MIGHT apply to Alabama then slavish, over-the-top praise for his "team" & coaches of 5 months. Again, he couldn't mention Alabama even 1 single time? I bet the fans in Ohio are scratching their heads about that, too. It's classless, period.

It's the price you pay when you express an OPINION. We all take a hit from time to time. I made a comment about a statement which made no sense to me and seemed tacky when you consider the context. Later, a statement he made when leaving Alabama surfaces, which sounds very similar to the one about Ohio State. Apparently, he was trying to be gracious both times, which means he is a classy individual. :facepalm: Title: Re: "Former Alabama O-lineman walks away from football after 2 games at Ohio State" Post by: 2Stater on September 10, 2014, 11:28:36 AM Quote know you guys are having fun at my expense.
