...to feel good about the Saga of Terrence Clarke?
This was the plan all along. Like many before him, there was little thought of ever staying past one season, brutal though it was. This was all contrived from the beginning, right down to a phantom injury that was no more than a hangnail made into a major medical emergency. Boy, do I feel used and abused. Glad no money was lost in this rip off of a deal.
It's a misnomer to call this program a "Players' First" program. Add Clarke to a rapidly growing and very long list of kids who aren't the least bit interested in this program and its storied history, not interested in academics, and not interested in winning anything other than a ticket on the fast track to the pros.
I wish they would discontinue writing their "Dear John" equivalent letter. Please--don't embarrass me or yourselves by writing--or having someone write it for you--all that fake sentiment. I'm sick enough. These kids don't respect this school, this program, and this legacy; there is no existence of "La Familia." That too, like "Players' First," is simply a nice name to help placate the fans and make us think that they have built some uncommon loyalty in the span of about eight months on campus.
Don't know what you might want to call it, but it's far from a "Players' First" program. Maybe it's every bit as much of a "Team Last" program as anything else. I don't feel good about this at all, and you shouldn't either. Feel nauseous! Don't really want to hit the "post thread" button.
