Complete thread:

what's your take on Kelly's "at risk" commentary - Jay, 2015-06-12, 09:56
- He had to do this in a public setting - Jim (fisherj08), 2015-06-12, 11:53
- I have one small thought to add - Greg, 2015-06-12, 11:33
  - that's definitely in play - HumanRobot, 2015-06-12, 11:51
    - Sorry. I wasn't clear. - Greg, 2015-06-12, 12:00
      - I see what you're saying now - HumanRobot, 2015-06-12, 12:08
- "Force them into finding shortcuts" bothers me - HCE, 2015-06-12, 11:02
  - Agreed. They are separate issues. - Coach Gillespie, 2015-06-12, 13:52
  - good point - Jay, 2015-06-12, 11:17
- Only suggestion would be to use a different term - Ken Fowler, 2015-06-12, 10:29
  - Agree. I wish he had worded it differently. - NDinVA, 2015-06-12, 10:47
    - And that overshadows the primary point - Domer99, 2015-06-12, 11:30
    - Those non-ND fans have been saying such things for decades - Jack, 2015-06-12, 11:04
      - I know, but I don't like that our coach gave them more ammo. - NDinVA, 2015-06-12, 11:16
        
        Like he hasn't before? - Jack, 2015-06-12, 13:58
  - yep, I don't think he's complaining. - Jay, 2015-06-12, 10:35
- There's a couple issues here - HumanRobot, 2015-06-12, 10:23
  - The biggest issue, probably for me, is airing this publicly - Domer99, 2015-06-12, 11:19
    - ESPN just rehashed Eric Hansen in the SBT - Jack, 2015-06-12, 14:01
      - That's the comical thing about it - Domer99, 2015-06-12, 16:12
  - I assume Stanford's "cooling glove" also helps with - BillyGoat, 2015-06-12, 11:06
  - Agreed, but 1 isn't any different now than it ever was at ND - Jack, 2015-06-12, 10:49
  - interesting post. makes sense, given that - Jay, 2015-06-12, 10:38
    - also, there are some real doozies in that thread - Jay, 2015-06-12, 10:44
      - Is it ever that surprising? - Domer99, 2015-06-12, 11:26
- Less bullshit = better - Dylan, 2015-06-12, 10:00
  - "at risk" is such a loaded term - Jay, 2015-06-12, 10:12
    - They are at risk of becoming ineligible - Dylan, 2015-06-12, 11:02
      - I don't care that he said it either - Jay, 2015-06-12, 11:10
    - You have to look at that with KeiVarae Russell in mind. - Bill, 2015-06-12, 10:35
      - I am talking about the typical use of the term "at risk" - Jay, 2015-06-12, 10:48
        
        I don't think anybody took it in that context. - Bill, 2015-06-12, 10:59
        
        I did. - PMan, 2015-06-12, 13:37
        
        well, I did - Jay, 2015-06-12, 11:01
        
        I knew what he was saying, but that connotation definitely - Ken Fowler, 2015-06-12, 11:05
    - He's not dumb - JRT, 2015-06-12, 10:30
    - I think this is exactly right. It's just a term a bit out of - BillyGoat, 2015-06-12, 10:20
- Some things are best left unsaid? - River, 2015-06-12, 09:58
  - would have been better if he had completed the thought - Jay, 2015-06-12, 10:08
    - Agreed. - River, 2015-06-12, 10:18
