I think the continued struggle to win games and have a successful season may have led Gannon to understand the futility of it all and begin to look out for himself as he nears the end of his college days. I wonder if this loss to an FCS team at home was the final straw.
Perhaps for some players the patience needed has worn out, just like it has for us fans who have quit on this team in droves every year. Maybe Gannon has realized the tream's problems as a whole severely outweigh his contributions individually. He still shouldn't quit. Imagine if a whole host of players did that!
I think we all can agree if this team is winning games Gannon keeps playing. Winning cures.

Do you like that Gannon kid? He seems really sharp and like he'd be a good fit. (silence…no response) What, you don't like the Gannon kid?
It's just that…I didn't want to bring it up this late in the process, but we have reason to believe that he…and we're still trying to get verification…but, we have reason to believe he may have quit the Iowa State Football team during his 5th year.

I understand the word rational. I understand logic and emotion. I understand that it is pointless to continue to present a position to someone who wants to paint it in terms of the absolute (inaccurately, I might add). So, for those that believe roundball is representing MY arguments when he attempts to pick apart my posts, here you go.
These are MY words:
I believe that if you make a commitment, you should honor it.
If you make a promise, you should keep it.
If you start something, you should finish it.
These are descriptions the work ethic that I believe in, that I try to maintain, that I taught my children, that I want to see from people at work, in my family, in my circle of friends, from society in general. Broken promises and commitments not honored are not ways to build & maintain trust and community.
Here's the part of my words roundball keeps ignoring:
SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.
And from what I can tell it is false. Both rivals and scout boards have no comment like this and both are wondering what the hell he is talking about. So my guess is its BS or an off comment on another team board.
Hey quitter, I'm not even talking about job prospects anymore. And for crying out loud, you didn't even read what I wrote yesterday because you've been screaming at a strawman ever since then. But to clue you in, that conversation ended yesterday afternoon and you are now beating a dead horse. Everyone is well aware of your point of view by now. Take a moment, stop hyperventilating, and try to keep up. This is the side conversation that roundball and kcc have had going for a bit about finishing what you start.
You have to finish what you start!!!!!!
I wonder if there's never been an instance of an Iowa State coach, basketball or football, running a player off because he wasn't good enough.
I'm sure it's never happened.

Been a tough crow eating week for me, but I am a optimistic person. Campos will be great. He stood out in the spring game. We will play KSU Tough and have a winning season.

What's the inspiration for the "[Random Statement]. Fact." meme? I see it everywhere, but don't know where it started.
All you people talking about "finish what you starter" and whatever other clichéd blather you are putting out, get real. You're just upset that his life choice might effect your beloved Cyclones. You aren't worried about his future. You aren't worried about his reasoning. You're just upset that he left your beloved Cyclones vulnerable.
I find it comical that some of our most revered names in Iowa State history like Marcus Fizer and Jamaal Tinsley didn't even graduate, to the best of my knowledge. We upset with them because they "quit" school?
