LaMichael James on TCU

[FeistyFrog]

In an interview (above) he says this about TCU:

Q. One of the announcers said you almost went to TCU, though?

LAMICHAEL JAMES: I did.

Q. Can you talk about that a little bit.

LAMICHAEL JAMES: That's a funny story that I really don't want to bring up. There is a reason I didn't go to TCU, and I really did like TCU.

LAMICHAEL JAMES: I can't do that. I will tell you after the game.

Hopefully we get the rest of the story sometime next week. Good luck to LaMichael!

This sounds like it could be really interesting... Hopefully the reporter actually follows up on this because I'm DANG curious.

 

[SnoSki]

Sounds like we did a faux pas or something

 

[berryfrog95]

could it be on the same line's as why Josh Huff made last minute change.....very curious now.....????

Awesome pic!

Later on he talks about the cleats...

Q. TCU has the same cleats in the Rose Bowl. Some of them are having traction problems.

LAMICHAEL JAMES: I noticed that, too. Hopefully the new filling will help us out a little bit. We have a couple pairs of cleats.

Q. TCU didn't bring backup. Do you have all your old cleats with you, a backup pair?

LAMICHAEL JAMES: We have some backups

 

[Start Wearing Purple]

The reason he chose Oregon over TCU was because of its AQ status.
That was the deciding factor.

It's probably why he doesn't want to mention it before the NC Game.

Ohhhhhhhhh yeah that would make sense...

Girls probably wear more turtlenecks up there.

Is it me or was that an abnormally long Q&A session (compared to the ones we saw from the Rose Bowl)?

Go Frogs!

To take it a step further, he doesn't want to jinx himself by saying "so I could have the opportunity to win a national championship".

 

[LVfrog]

It worked out for him and us. I hope he has a nice game on Monday.

 

[ifrog]

Anyone know the real reason?

 

[Armadillo]

Anyone know the real reason?

Yes....it was the CLEATS! He didn't like our CLEATS!

:tongue:

Isn't it obvious? He needed a new car for college along with a bunch of electronics for his dorm. AQ teams are known for giving players whatever they want, TCU wasn't willing. Same reason why Josh Huff went there.






(I'm not being serious btw, although I won't deny they probably decked him out in Oregon sweatshirts, pants, bags, gear, etc like they did with Huff during their visit. But there is no way that would be a determining factor)


I'm with whoever said the AQ status, it seems like that's a pretty obvious reason for him, especially before the NC game. I would've loved James, I think he's the best RB to go into the NFL since Adrian Peterson and the 2nd best this past decade when I really started exclusively following the NFL Draft. He's unreal, and would fit TCU's system absolutely perfectly.

But if we had James, what would our record be this year? I can guarantee you that it wouldn't be any better than 13-0.

I think it was the Oregon weather. He wanted to wear a rubber suit the year around.

Most obvious, but excellent point on this thread!

 

[kodiak]

I have been asked not to discuss the real reason. In time you will find out. :biggrin:

 

[Despite the odds Frog]

James is a product of the Oregon system, Sproles look-a-like. Chargers will definitely be interested.

 

[Dtx_Frog_Fan]

If James were playing for tcu Oregon would have more than likely lost to cal other things equal and he would be playing for a national championship wearing purple on Monday.
