I don't think so.
But..................................... he did average 7 yards a carry over 3 seasons with the Herd.

The whole thing seems odd. If the 2 guys liked each other enough to kiss why on earth did the one guy video tape his man friend being beat up? Wouldn't it make more sense to try and stop Butler?

BJWilliams wrote:A couple things to consider at this point (since we have been down this road before):Grooms was better than who we had. He was just a problem.
1) Does he even want to come here? It really doesn't matter one whit how good he is, if he doesn't want to be here (which is his prerogative), we aren't going to get him
2) If he DOES want to be here, how would it affect the backs we currently have? Des and DJ and Todd all went through the spring here. How would it affect the dynamic to have another back come in in the fall and battle for the tailback job and wasn't here in the spring (2015 signees excepted of course)? As I said with the Grooms situation, is he automatically better than who we have in the fold simply because he is from an FBS school?

People don't beat up other people because they like them.

ATrain wrote:Yeah, but that would be based on an action they committed, not an intrinsic difference from you.I may not like someone who is intrinsically different than me, but it doesn't mean I beat them up. And if I get my AZ kicked does it really matter if I am intrinsically different or not? I still got my AZ kicked. People should by judged by their actions.
