Martin's "flick"

[OKC Shocker]

I think more than a few, I think it's more like most, and not only that, their mommy and daddy are there holding their hand, talking to professors, tucking them in, and doing everything for them so they can have a "better" life than the one most of them worked hard to EARN!

If I had a dollar for every coach from youth to College that got in my face, grabbed my facemask, poked me in my chest, or smacked me on the shoulder when I wasn't paying attention, I'd have a nice Villa in France. Of course, while not opposed to how you play the game, I preferred walking off the field having won the game, not with my mommy and daddy patting me on the back and giving me a ribbon for "everyone is a winner"

My reply to this post is not politically correct, for which I apologize. I can't believe you were in complete control when you posted. Mike Leach put a player's long term health at risk and refused to moderate his future actions; if anyone should consider concussions to be serious, it is WSU fans. Frank Martin did the right thing after the game and I don't think there will be any serious repercussions; I say this as a person who is not a fan of Martin. I have no idea why you posted; it was silly.

1. "their mommy and daddy are there holding their hand"
I doubt this. When you were in college, did you want your parents anywhere nearby?

2. "their mommy and daddy are ... talking to professors"
I'm pretty sure there is an old (1970s) federal law which makes it illegal for professors to reveal any information about students.

3. "their mommy and daddy are ... tucking them in"
I have to question your intelligence.

First, I have had 5 concussions. I know first hand the effects, and the things you can and cannot do while still suffering the immediate effects of them, as well as what triggers some long term effects. The major one is light, especially when active. Being in a dimly lit room riding a bike is NOT going to have an effect on his long term health. Being in the workout room with all the flourescent bulbs literally causing you to feel like you are seeing things while a strobe light is on will.

on your other points:

1. No, I didn't, and no they werent.

2. If you have talked to anyone spending a great amount of time around college athletics lately, the parents are a big deal dealing with coaches, and yes, CALLING PROFESSORS to dispute grades and other issues (like failing due to not going to class). They generally do not get any info from the professor and tend to go right up the chain.

3. It was simply implying that many kids today do not have the ability to think or do for themselves, and talk to mommy and daddy everyday so they can feel like they are special and entitled. If you think I seriously meant mommy and daddy going to campus to literally tuck them in, I must question your intelligence.

I love all the fighting that takes place on these boards. Same team fellas!!

Why do people keep calling it a flick? A flick doesn't move a 210lb man back several inches. He hit him in the chest about the same way you hit somebody to start a fight. If he will do that in front of a packed house, imagine what he does in his closed practices. He should be fired.

I guarantee 0 KSU fans would want him fired right now. Doesn't mean that it is right, but also means that it wasn't that big of a deal.
