Claiming I'm a wack job is not a good example of Bronco's arrogance and pride.

I'm a wack job because I want a simple example. If it's so obvious, why can't anybody produce any of these wildly easy to see examples?

Maybe it's less "he's not a BYU guy" and more that they're convinced he's not

Did anyone really believe Kearsley was going to make it 4 years at BYU?

Did they at least explain to him what their concerns were, and try to work with

Polecat

Yes, despite Gustin's family running around to every messageboard and radio

Which probably killed any chance that Bronco would work with Porter.

I'm sure he and his father know exactly what's up

His dad came on CB and played dumb.

true, but why is BYU harsher than a mission?

He's not claiming to know anything about Gustin at all.

CalGTR

And he is 100% accurate in his statment.

Ebolarama

If he actually goes on a mission. This whole thing will be revisited after.

cornellcoug

Maybe similar conditions were placed and Porter refused

WhiteKnight

1/26/15 12:18pm

Very good point. The onus would be on the kid to "do the work" as stipulated
