So bitter. Even if he doesn’t make the NFL, the Arena League & UFL/XFL are options. Didn’t Jared Thomas play in one of those for a while?These guys should save themselves the embarrassment and just say “I’ve decided I’m done with football.”
Hahaha so true!!!These guys should save themselves the embarrassment and just say “I’ve decided I’m done with football.”
Stop being a prick. They are entitled to pursue their dreams and to state so publicly.These guys should save themselves the embarrassment and just say “I’ve decided I’m done with football.”
Paddy fischer was a beast at NU and didn’t even have a cup of coffee in the NFL. None of these guys had stellar NU careers.Stop being a prick. They are entitled to pursue their dreams and to state so publicly.
So what? It’s a bad look to pile on our own players after they put in 4-5 years for good ole NU because of extraordinary odds against making the league. Sometimes it is better to say nothing at all.Paddy fischer was a beast at NU and didn’t even have a cup of coffee in the NFL. None of these guys had stellar NU careers.
Troll! Paddy Fisher was incredible. NFL is a different game - he was a run stopper. Didn’t he play in the AFL or UFL too?Paddy fischer was a beast at NU and didn’t even have a cup of coffee in the NFL. None of these guys had stellar NU careers.
Fisher was a beast. Gallagher was a beast. McGarigle and Fitz were Big Ten beasts as players. Who cares if they don’t make it in the NFL? Don’t feel the trolls.So what?

So it’s okay to be a prick to players like Wrather then? You guys should be better than that.Paddy fischer was a beast at NU and didn’t even have a cup of coffee in the NFL. None of these guys had stellar NU careers.
Pointing out that a guy has no chance to get drafted isn’t being a prickSo it’s okay to be a prick to players like Wrather then? You guys should be better than that.
Yes it is, especially when stated how it was in this thread. The fact that you don't get that says a whole lot about you.Pointing out that a guy has no chance to get drafted isn’t being a prick
One of the great Wildcat sports stories. Thankfully the story has been immortalized on Hance’s Wikipedia page:I never thought Blake Hance would make it in the NFL but he is still collecting a paycheck.
Great point, @Arlcatsfan .I never thought Blake Hance would make it in the NFL but he is still collecting a paycheck.
If Big Ben wants to give it a shot more power to him and wish him the best. At least he is pursuing his dream. If he gets drafted great or signs a free agent contract great and if not at the very least he went for his dream. Nothing wrong with that.
Good luck to a former Wildcat football player.
Great point, @Arlcatsfan .
@CoralSpringsCat and gcg could learn a thing or two from you about desk research.
Big Bad Blake Hance is a gamer 🏈
He got run over by Illinois StateHance always had the physical skills, just ran very “hot and cold” at NU. Wildly inconsistent game-to-game.
He got run over by Illinois State
It’s simply not rude to asses that a guy has no chance in the NFL. We don’t have to be delusional because a guy wears our color. It’s the same sort of assessment coaches make when deciding if a guy is good enough to get a scholarship or start.Yes it is, especially when stated how it was in this thread. The fact that you don't get that says a whole lot about you.
