Way to personally attack him tini! Go get em!
My thing is that I trust Adam and Ryan. They've both watched a lot of practices and scouted JayMac in high school. And they both have told me that the kid can play. Plus, he was about an average level recruit for that class so it's not like he was a reach. If he can help us win while not being a distraction (team chemistry or recruiting), then I don't see why I would waste my time making issue over this. I really haven't seen any indication that there is a problem here outside of fan concerns (even beliefs) in their own heads that there is a problem.

I sure hope you are right about Lil' Mac. Aside from his physical (in)abilities, I take major issue with the highest paid employee in the State of Colorado gifting his son a full athletic scholarship. Imagine if Distefano or Benson gave their Grandson a full ride academic scholarship when they had a 2.9 GPA in high school. That's the equivalent as far as I am concerned.
Are you high? The kid isn't slow and in the multiple practices I've been to he has yet to drop a single pass.

You do understand that scholarship athletes have rights and privileges that walk-on athletes don't, right? It's not just about paying tuition. Why does someone always make this same ill-informed argument? Jay earned a scholarship and deserves it, regardless of how much his dad is paid.
New guy, you are being a dick.

That must be why Lipscomb and Indiana St. were recruiting him so hard!

Well, a large part of our Program's downfall over the last decade can be attributed to Nepotism. I think it is in very bad taste for our "new" coach to come in and immediately recruit his marginally talented son. If the Hawkins experiment didn't end so poorly, I probably wouldn't feel this way.
He's not a qb, little bit different.

The major problem with the Hawkins thing was many people felt like Tyler Hansen was better than Cody and that was the problem...not that Cody was on the team. If Mac plays his son over a more deserving slot receiver then that would be the issue.

Mac is very scripted or rehearsed, yesterday when they asked about the tempo of the offense I could have answered that question word for word. It was the exact answer it has been for 3 years and I've heard it 100 times. Maybe I should stop watching /listening to every interview.
That's a shocker

Gotcha, ram troll.
So you guys are starting Nick Stevens at QB? How do you think he'll do?

Here we go again...
This issue surfaces different factions within the fan base. Some are fine with it. Some don't care. Others don't like it.
It's doubtful many people's opinions will sway until after we react to what does and doesn't go down on the field or in the locker room.
At the end of the day, women's lacrosse got a scholarship funded out of this deal. Any drama from this soap opera has yet to play out for better or worse.
Shouting down posters like borracho doesn't make the soap opera disappear. It's similary futile and unproductive to keep digging through the ashes of the Hawkins era in the MacIntyre context. Different coaches, different players, different postions.
We can all agree it is what it is. This sore spot could have been avoided. Now there is a shadow of daddyball that may or maynot work out.
Why not hope for the best until the facts help sway the argument one way or another?

I didn't agree with the recruitment of Jay Mac, but I'm not going to make a big deal out of it, two years after the fact. It is what it is. Thus far, there's been no indication that his presence in the lockerroom has been a distraction or a problem in any way. WR is a very different position from QB. You can have as many as 4 WRs on the field at the same time. Nobody is going to avoid coming to CU because they're worried they won't get playing time at WR. That was the major issue with Cody.

No, someone didn't have to say it. This is why you get banned so much.
Exactly, you wouldn't. Mike Mac and Jay Mac are not Dan and Cody Hawkins. Stop comparing the situations; they are completely different. This is a lazy argument that we constantly hear from the casual CU fan, that doesn't pay close attention to the ongoings of the program.
If he was a qb, I might feel differently but he's a role player. Let's see what he can do before he gets judged.
he sticks to his guns!

Nepotism is nepotism regardless of performance, I can see why that bothers some people.
So the first post was full of declarative statements about this small, slow-footed, beneficiary of clear nepotism before you've seen him play a single down. In this more recent post we see more openness toward him as a player accompanied by a more pointed attack on his father currently in his 3rd season of trying to turn this ship around. In the post after this you lay a "large portion of our programs downfall" at the feet of Cody Hawkins, a young man who most of us have a lot of respect for even if we don't specifically admire his athletic attributes.
rarely has this much wrong happened so quickly. Congratulations?
you sound like a ****ing lawyer with a grudge.
He could have gone to AFA and Wyoming, among other places. Not a great offer list, but it was the norm for that recruiting class.

There is something to be said for new blood.
When RG and HCMM came on board, the culture changed for the better thanks to new blood.
When Leavett joined, a new infusion of ideas has us excited. His addition is great.
The President and Chancellor are the opposite of new blood. They've been around forever and aren't exactly millennial savvy.
Daddyball recruiting is not new blood.
Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush are not new blood.
Sure continuity and nepotism happen and sometimes works out. But it's never a guarantee for success and always comes with an aroma that is displeasing to some noses.
I don't think he sounds like Snow at all.
Have you actually seen him play or are you gonna keep talking out of your ass?
The kid can play is has good size for a slot WR no matter what you say. Your comments though make it clear you don't know what you're talking about.
