Y'all realize he broke a record, right?

Ok, makes a little more sense. I'm almost certain the coaches had the discussion well before kickoff that if he got the record he'd sit. No way he just up and told the coaches he was done in a halftime surprise.

Did Cristobal say Ward decided at halftime to not play 2nd half?  This seems preplanned.

I didn’t catch that. Did that happen? I see fans saying he quit. I don’t see official reporting that he quit. I wasn’t focused on the tv during halftime.

Funny that pop tarts has cracked the code of not having their trophy presentation relegated to the capital one postgame show on the app

The debate is going to fun. Cam is a quitter, the non-playoff bowls are stupid, college football is broken…yada, yada

Iowa State guys played to the end, even though they ruined their original jerseys in the wash and had to buy generic uniforms on eBay before the game started.

I still think its bizarre when fans lament players making "business decisions" as though there is anything more than that left in this game. It is literally a multi-billion dollar business. Everything that has happened over the last 20 years has been purely business. Give me a break. I'm fine with players protecting their health. Why risk losing life changing wealth so a toaster trophy can end up in a trophy case somewhere on campus?

Most TD passes in a career.

 

 

Keenum still owns all time passing yards. I was there at the game in 2011 when he broke the record

Expand  

So they're counting his 71 TDs in 2 years at Incarnate Word count toward that?  Seems pretty bullshit.

Oh man, I came back from the grocery just long enough to see baby corn score and some unknown quarterback at Miami not get it done.

God, do I love the Co-canes losing.  I can’t wait to see FSU in their bowl and whether they’ll…..oh that’s right.  They won only two games.

I recognize the hypocrisy, but I think it's bullshit that he played long enough to get the record and then shut it down. 

You want the record? Play the whole fucking game with the teammates who helped you break it in the first place. 

Want to avoid risk of injury? Don't play at all, and announce it ahead of time like everyone else does.

i agree with everything you said...

 

 

and if he had sat out the whole game, I would have supported him no issue. 

 

hell if he sat out the entire 2nd half and then came back for the final drive I still would have supported him. 

 

but the moment he got an INDIVIDUAL award... he quit  even if it was with the permission of his coaching staff... he fucking quit playing in a game he volunteered to play in

It has to have been discussed weeks ago. I just don't see it playing out that he decides suddenly to pull himself. Players know whats up.

Thinking the same thing but it is fucking cool.

I bet Pop Tart sales increase a little tomorrow.

Confusing … so Ward ducking out of half of a meaningless bowl game to protect a top 5 draft slot is totally different than when Bijan, Roschon, and Overshown excused themselves from the Alamo Bowl?

Must be the shade of orange shades …
