Rumor on Pick

[Milo]

Apparently on the KUsports message board a reputable poster has stated that Pick walked today. :popcorn

[WavetheWheat]

Can't be true. Hopefully just an initial reaction.

I feel bad for him. This situation sucks.

[RandytheHelpfulPineapple]

We really don't need this right now.

I went over to TOS and I thought that Pitts stated that he heard Pick either walked or is seriously pissed about being benched. Thread was then locked and that post appeared to have been deleted. Pretty much sucks. This could be the fasted implosion in D1 history.

[Joe Norris]

Dammit....don't need this to be true

Needs a call from Kerry Meier....Kale could be a sick weapon at something other than QB

[dominatindj11]

If he did....what a little pussy bitch.

[Jayhawker]

I'm sorry, but if he really walked away from the team over that, then he really needs to think hard about his priorities.

Starting QBs have bad games.
Sometimes those bad games lead coaches to go another direction.

You don't quit the team just because you got benched in the 4th Quarter.

Also, interesting tweet a few hours ago from Toben: "today was progress at its finest." Makes you wonder. That popped up right around the time that Pitt broke the news about Webb being named starter.

[Joe Norris]

agreed...to an extent....

can you walk after you essentially got shut out by ndsu?

[Jayhawker]

I would think a game like that would motivate you to improve, and if not try to contribute elsewhere, at least try to reclaim the starting job.

Also, I know this is just a rumor, but I took a gamble and put it out on Facebook/Twitter on our official page.

I just noticed that. But kudos to you for putting "RUMOR" in all caps. (and hopefully it will generate some traffic here).

I am an eternal optimist but until I see proof that he has really left the team, I guess I will just hope that he had a hissy fit, got pissed, and walked out of practice....not the team. Kids do stupid things in the heat of the moment.

[Jayhawker]

I really hope that I'll be posting a retraction tomorrow morning/afternoon. It's the kind of news you really don't want to hear, ever.

[LimeHawk]

If he in fact left the team, that is total crap. This team really doesn't need any of this right now. :killme

[WavetheWheat]

The rumor has floated on JayhawkSlant for over 12 hours without getting deleted or answered by "insiders." That place is about as strictly controlled as any message board in the country. There is definitely some truth to it.

My guess is he walked out on practice and said somethings like he was out of here.

[BillPullman]

wtf

[sweaterbydarwin]

a kid's gotta do, what a kid's gotta do but quitting after getting benched is weak sauce.

[Milo]

I feel shameful that I posted this rumor. Don't even know if it is true. So lets hold off the player bashing until the news is confirmed or denied. Maybe he threw a temper tantrum and called his parents who calmed him down. Maybe it is a bunch of BS.

[Jayhawker]

FWIW, I just asked Toben on Twitter if the rumors were true, his reply:

TheKidToben @Jayhawker3109 not that I'm aware of.

[blackPHOGmoan]

God bless the internet.

[sweaterbydarwin]

and Toben is also starting a Twitter trend #freeToben
:popcorn

Jesus. Someone point this kid directly at Mr. Point Plankn and see what can come of it. The last thing this team needs is more distractions and problems. If this is true and in earnest, TheKidToben needs to be shown the door.

[pieces of eight]

Jesus, what a mess. If true, of course.

[sweaterbydarwin]

my bad, #freetoben was started by fakejoedooley. Toben is just playing along.

[blackPHOGmoan]

Turns out he didn't make the TT... Only commenting that it was out there. I was a touch quick to jump on the kid, Toben.

[fletchccc]

Wow. Just wow.

[Joe Norris]

This is something that I actually am shocked by

I hope it's not true

[DeutschHistorian]

If he did....what a little pussy bitch.


This, but it seems like a lot of kids these days are pussy bitches.

[pieces of eight]

Holy fuck. Our QB depth is going to be......um....not deep?

[Joe Norris]

Todd Reesing found an extra year of eligibility

wonder if that would even make a difference

[ShooterFlatch]

Reesing didn't help much last year.....of course maybe now he's healthy?

[sweaterbydarwin]

well, we have three that can play without burning shirts. I'm actually not all that worried about it. Assuming the rumor is true and with all due respect to Pick, it's not like we're losing a senior leader or a Heisman hopeful.

IF the rumor is true, and its seeming more and more like it may be....all we are losing is a little crybaby bitch.

And I'm not too worried about it either, if the rest of the team continues to perform like they did last week we could put Peyton out there at QB and it wouldn't help. QB is about the least of the worries right now.

[CStop]

Rumors are pointing to Pick just being really pissed, but has not quit.

Hopefully that is the case. Hopefully, if he is benched and pissed he'll be motivated to play harder and earn his position back. Nothing wrong with players getting fired up, they all should be pissed.

[Milo]

Someone on KUSports.com message board stated that he walked past the practice field and someone in Pick's jersey was taking snaps. FWIW.

[Oobers]

Yea that was me.

Pick was definitely practicing.

[sweaterbydarwin]

well, that's good news. The less turmoil the better. I wonder what kind of smoked there was to this fire?

[blackPHOGmoan]

HOW DID YOU SEE THROUGH ALL THOSE FUCKING TREES?!?!?!!?

[CStop]

I blame JHawk2001 for all of this. His fear-raising, pointless rumor posting from kusports.com is going to hurt this site. Ban him.

My guess is the aforementioned theory that he got mad and walked off the field and said something to the effect of "I'm out of here" which someone took very literally.

[Protist]

I'm not sold on Pick.

Must have been some truth to Pick being upset because PittsJay had posted something that sort of confirmed the unsettling. The sky is falling you know. I jumped the bandwagon.

I've got a bad feeling about this.
