Marcus Brister Trash Talking????

[Kyle]

I'm glad I didn't have to listen to him talk in any postgame interviews. Sometimes those are painful.

[AirWalke]

Not trying to bag on the guy, but does anyone have any of his game-time stats? Something tells me he accomplished even less than he thinks he did.

I agree with mostly everyone else though. You get the starting nod and more minutes by working hard, not by showing up late to a game.

If I didn't know otherwise, no way I'd guess he got a scholarship to a University.

Good riddance.

That's what cracks me up about athletes in general, I know you have to have that attitude that your going to go pro....but damn if the guy really was looking out for whats best for his daughter he would stick to one place get a solid education to fall back on if the pro thing doesnt work out. Four years of hard work here could have gotten him possibly a degree and possibly...possibly a shot at the pro's

Doesn't sound like Marcus is too concerned with what's best for his baby:

"Has for my relationship status i am still single and have been through alot and for those who dont kno yes i do have a child on tha way and no i am not wit my babymama and that is not why im leavin Iowa. Im single by choice and dont have time for games nor kids(My Bad)lol, so im very selective wit who i **** wit and hang around"

I'm curious; how would an Iowa State grad do in the job market with a low GPA degree in a general curriculum like, let's say, "General Studies", "Communication Studies", "Interdisciplinary Studies", "Diet & Exercise"

Sadly, I don't think he is. Quote from his page:

yes i do have a child on tha way and no i am not wit my babymama and that is not why im leavin Iowa. Im single by choice and dont have time for games nor kids(My Bad)lol, so im very selective wit who i **** wit and hang around.

Most people his age don't have time for kids. However, those plans suddenly change and you MAKE time for kids if a situation like that arises.

If you're not responsible enough to do that, then you better keep the snake in its cage.

I agree - the "my bad, lol" part just makes me curious. He obviously knows it is his responsibility, he just chooses to be flippant about it and not to follow up on the responsibility. Stay classy, Marcus.

Perhaps this has been talked about but does Marcus give us the double whammy in that he hurts our standing academically?

If he's in English 104, then probably.

That bugged me too after reading that. I feel sorry for the yet to be born kid because I'm betting with that attitude Marcus might wind up a deadbeat dad that doesn't send child support payments or take an interest in his kid's life. I hope that is not the case but with some of the things he's saying I think he's going to be treated with a harsh dose of reality here shortly as a result of his choices. Hopefully he grows up some and takes some responsibility for his own actions.

It just makes me mad that recruits leave before they experience iowa or the big 12 coming into Hilton it would make any big school quiver at the knees when setting foot in Hilton and make any recruit not sure if he should be here, 100% percent sure by the end of the game
