IIRC Keith Bryant went to FSU the same year they won the National Championship so even if he rode the pine I'm sure he thought he made the right decision because he got to brag about that. There are plenty of reasons for them to go to a BCS school that we can't offer right now.
For instance, there was a UP article following the typical day of an FAU football player and one of them essentially said that as an athlete here, nobody really knows who you are. Versus up in Tallahassee, when I'm sure the offensive linemen get high fives and attaboys every time they go out to Publix.
You'd think that kind of thing doesn't matter because it's not technically related to the game of football… but it does. I saw two FAU football players in Publix last night, couldn't place them. And I'm on this messageboard every day, reading every daily article about the progress of camp… so there's that.
And the FAU players have clearly accepted that, the same way any of us would probably accept a position we wanted at a mid-level company in a decent state if it gave us the chance to continue doing what we wanted to do, and figured we could build from there.
Once we build out the full academic center, start winning games again, have a player go in the first round, +/- take UCF's place in the American if that whole BIg12/American shakeup goes down as previously discussed… we'll be a better destination for these guys, and maybe even get them recognized at Publix.

I know Keith. He is and will continue to be a beast on the DL. FSU is simply loaded with talent. He would have started day one at FAU. Before he is done , he will play on Sunday. His partner in crime that weekend was Todney Evans. He is maturing at MTSU and doing quite well. They didn't want to play at FAU and took advantage of the weekend visit. Stupid kids.Posted On: Aug 25th 2015, 5:01 PM #347524
The real issue for him is that its pretty hard to make the pros if you dont get playing time in college.

Unless your dad is Cris Carter, but I don't think that's applicable here.

I can assure you, if you dont have the talent to make an NFL roster…they dont care who your dad is.
That league is all about winning. Thats the beauty of it, leave the politics at the door.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Guy is toxic right now after the ridiculous "advice" he gave to NFL rookies (below video) about how to misbehave…Given this, I actually feel bad we promoted the quote he made at an FAU camp.
Partridge doesn't need his "blessing", he's a man a character without it.
LATER to him and his son.

Willis McGahee started at Miami for one season. He started his career at Miami as third string behind Clinton Portis and Frank Gore. (Un)fortunately for him, Frank Gore tore his ACL over the summer and he was next man up. Doesn't really matter how much playing time you get, if you're a stud, you're a stud and you'll get noticed.
I'd imagine KB maybe in a similar situation at Free Shoes.
