…and he didn’t even need to transfer to play with the dogs to get drafted in the first round and be successful. How ‘bout that! Can Mitchell too. we’ll see if Rod Heard has as much success as Brandon Joseph did by transferring…Greg is set to make $13.4 million in his 5th year with the Browns. Not bad.

It is remarkable how bitter some of our fans can be.
Lighten up Francis. I’m just having fun with N*D* and their perceived superiority. It’s not Iike I’m trying to squeeze money from the school with some lame frivolous lawsuit or anything.
It’s official: our fans are either the best or worst in the Big Ten, depending on the topic.
Why?
A. Because he bailed because he thought he was too good for NU
That’s a dumb take. He’s not jumping to join the frivolous lawsuit. His comments clearly stated he wanted to play with dogs. I root for Cats, not dogs.
I doubt BJo even remembers that interview.
Not exactly going for a higher profile and while more money than at NU, that much more?
You’re clueless. You have no idea whether his former teammates took it personally or not. High likelihood they did take it personally, given his comments.
On some things I am clueless. On this I’m not. They largely did not and do not care, just like they didn’t care when Skorownek went to Notre Dame.
I have little doubt that players take it personally whenever any teammate who can help them win transfers to a competitor under the circumstances that BJo or BSkro left.
This is a much different generation than even 10-12 years ago. They don’t recognize or understand Metallica or trickle down Reaganomics.
uh that’s a little ostentatious of you to assume to be the authority and spokesman of GenZ… besides the fact that all the examples you cite have zero zilch nada to do with the current topic. Some basic human principles and emotions transcend feeble attempts to broadly categorize and stereotype. The more things change the more they stay the same. Getting thrown under the bus by a former teammate will never sit well with any generation of athlete. Like Matt said, they may not stay angry but they won’t be likely to forget either.
Lol. Did you not see Skowronek at the rally last March in California along with former MBB players? The former captain who seemed to quit in season and then transferred to Notre Dame?
Skowronek left somewhat gracefully. BJo didn’t, he burned bridges with his comments.
Yes, and Skowronek left with a Northwestern degree. He went to ND because he thought he had a better chance of being drafted, and he was right.
The difference in how they left is that Skowronek said nothing, much to the dismay of our fanbase, and then fulfilled his potential. However he could have still been drafted out of NU. His best play - ever - was the game winning catch at Iowa when we clinched the West in 2018.
Nope. When Skowronek left we had no good transfer QB in place. He went to ND where he excelled and was drafted and has been a good receiver in the NFL. BJo threw his teammates under the bus almost immediately, was not drafted, and never played in the NFL.
No. BJo made his statements to the media in an interview. Try again.
Spot this on. And one of his teammates in that lame secondary that supposedly wasn’t good enough to play with him, Cam Mitchell, got drafted and is playing in the NFL. I guess Cats over dogs.
Incorrect!
Yes after so many of our fans were heartbroken on here, hoping and praying for information.
He may be now. But he logged minutes in two NFL games last year versus the Falcons & Packers.
That shows that he was on the active roster for two games early in the season. No stats, which means he may not have seen the field. Then back to the practice squad for the rest of the season.He may be now. But he logged minutes in two NFL games last year versus the Falcons & Packers.

Much like Skowronek was drafted, we can’t prove that BJo would have made the Lions roster if he hadn’t left for Notre Dame. It is very hard to prove a negative.
