    I officially put this in the WTF category. With that said, I sure hope it works out for him.

    Yeah, this doesn't make much sense. He's not a Vernon Adams type that is going to draw interest from P5s and be a potential difference maker for them. But then again as a 2 year returning starter he's not a guy in danger of losing his starting job either. I wonder if something else is going personally with him...

    Possibly. My best guess is he is getting horrible advice from someone telling him the P5 will be all over him. About the best i could see this going is getting a crappy G5 school to take you, and have a chance to compete for the job. But, that really isn't a step up which is why this advice is so damn horrible.

    For every 1.5 TDs he throws he throws a pick. Maybe he should hand the ball off more.

    Is it possible he graduated early and is looking for an advanced degree Weber doesn't offer? (Probably unlikely, but trying to give the kid the benefit of the doubt.)
    The weather in Fargo keeps the undesirables out.....

    ...Which is why I live near the Twin Cities.

    I was assuming he graduated, or else he would have to sit a year. With that said, I hope you are right.....
