SIAP - Pfenninger

Coaches are pretty much ******** me here and seems like they already decided on who was going to play before I showed up. I had a tremendous camp and have been out performing guys in practice that are playing more than me in the games but it is what it is. I can only control my performance, the rest is out of my hands. I really appreciate everyone's support on here.

Your going to look back at this frustration one day and laugh because your life is going to take all kinds of turns and eventually you'll settle into something that makes you really happy. You wore the U so you've already done something not many do, don't forget that, keep grinding. You're a Cane for life in our book.

Drake loses 51-10 to South Dakota State. Nothing for our boy.

Other receivers dropped multiple passes and all struggled getting open and they didn't rotate until the very end of the game. Going to have a talk with my coaches tomorrow.

Put the crank on the desk and let them figure it out.

I hope they know I'm not liable for their desk breaking

Watch out for splinters.

A GT is for only one year, correct? If so, then the coaches hold all the cards unless the player is willing to walk away from the program. Perhaps the best approach is to focus on film -- route running, separation, blocking, adjustments to defenses, etc. Ask for the ball in a positive way, and give the coaches hard evidence of why you deserve it. Otherwise, time to hang up the cleats with grace, and ask Richt to help you find a GA spot or get moving on that rep agency you dreamed of creating. I just don't see how confrontation helps in any of these scenarios.

Correct just for one season for me since I got my undergrad in 4 years, very rarely some guys get 2 seasons as a grad transfer if they graduated in 3 years. I agree, I'm not going to be confrontational because that's not going to help the situation at hand. More so focusing on what you said, getting open and my lack of dropping passes vs the opposite for other guys. Also why I was convinced to go there and then everyone else seemed to be given unlimited opportunities and solidified spots despite performance. If it doesn't help then I can only view it as their loss.

Haha - Brad 'Pole' might have you beat.

How's Taylor Murph doing/liking it there? I grew up with his dad. Taylor was a decent RB and hooper in HS.

JMO of course, but my approach would be 100% positive, nothing negative. From the scores I've seen, obviously your coaches have 9,000 other things on their mind, probably including their jobs, so one player out of 60 or 70 isn't going to be foremost on their minds. So, I would think the best approach would be to say something along the lines of "give me a shot and I can help you make this offense better and help your score more points, all I need is the chance".

Be very positive, and say you're going to help them with the spark that they need on offense. However you want to put it, my only point is, that if they see you as a positive productive person that just wants a chance to make them better and win, rather than someone that's whining about playing time, they will take it a lot better.

Offer solutions, not more problems.

He has to use his name to compensate. Murph is a good guy I like him a lot. He's pretty quick and has had some nice runs the first few games, I'd like him to get more carries.

Good to hear. His dad/guardian played Point Guard for NC State in the early 90's. Good lineage.
