The Easton Stick Mega Thread

[X-Factor]

It should be against the law to boost these player threads Wednesday-Sunday without a clear disclaimer that it is NOT an injury. I'd sue for a near heart attack if you weren't a lawyer.

I’ve got a suggestion. Quit assuming it’s something bad

I think you only get 5 years of eligibility if you redshirt one year. Remember when Andre Martin transferred from UNI to NDSU? He didn't have to sit out a year because he was enrolled in a graduate program not offered at UNI. Russell Wilson did the same thing when transferring to Wisconsin.

Whats the protocol on someone getting a master's degree and playing sports? I have no idea.

Like, if tom brady wanted to go get his master's degree, could he go back to Michigan for 4 years and win the CFP 4 times? hahaha

Are sports exclusively available to undergrads? Wasn't Brandon Weeden for OkSt like 30 years old when he played or something?

You get 5 years to get your 4 years of playing time in. He had one year left and was graduating early. The only way you get another year to play is under extreme medical hardship.

Then what about these stories you see every once in a while, some 50 year old guy going to college plays for the football team?

Not NCAA.........

My husband and I were discussing this the other day. This was the info I had found on the interwebs...

"There is an age limit for NCAA*Division I*and*II*sports. The NCAA allows a one year grace period after high school graduation for DI and II schools. One year after your high school class graduates is when your eligibility will start to be affected in all sports except for hockey, skiing and tennis. The eligibility clock does not start for hockey players and skiers until after their 21st birthday. Tennis players start losing eligibility 6 months after they graduate high school.

The*NCAA*gives you 5 years to compete in 4 seasons athletically, with the fifth year being a red-shirt year. A red-shirt year gives athletes the opportunity to sit out a year of competition (for reasons such as injury or competition for playing time) and still be allowed to compete in all four years athletically."

This is true. However the NCAA will grant exceptions or what not for various reasons. One being military service. Recent one comes to mind is the guy at UCF.

Good idea. Never thought of that!

So my dream of being out there looking like Jared Lorenzen is done?

Ha! The Hefty Lefty! I loved this quote from one of his interviews back in the day:

He and Tamara -- they'd been dating since high school -- had a daughter named Taylar the summer after Lorenzen's junior year at UK. Dale Mueller remembers laughing at an interview Lorenzen gave back then: "I have to feed her at 9 and 11 and 1 and 3 and 5. It doesn't bother me because that's my feeding schedule too."

Since the loss to the Jackrabbits, Easton has looked nothing sort of phenomenal. He looks sharp, polished, and poised. He looks like a leader and winner. He has played nearly flawless football. He looks very much like a mobile Steve Walker. If he plays like this in the Championship, I don't see how anyone can beat us.
