	Report Comment CowboyBobDog, Creek Cty (7/6/2009 2:36:14 PM) We'll see, we'll see, The proff is in the playing. (Bobdog hopes he is good, but doesn't get excited about talk, he wants to see the walk.)
	Report Comment ukhoppy919, UK Cat Fan (7/6/2009 2:52:26 PM) Bobdog, word has it that he'll be strutting instead of just "wants to see the walk" as you put it. Word had it he pretty much held his own aganist Pat Patterson in UK's practice. I don't think it's fair that he'll have to sit out another year. he should get to pay this year because Cal took his scolly away from him. I aam a KY fan thru and thru and I would have just as soon as taken Travis as Cal as my pick. Travis is one tough little SOG. I believe in 4 to 5 years he'll be a top 10 or so level college coach. GO Travis and kick some butt.
	Report Comment GoldenDriller1, Out of State (7/6/2009 3:42:13 PM) If Cal did not want him - why should Ford?
	Report Comment tulsandn, Boswell / Tulsa (7/6/2009 4:08:46 PM) His scholarship wasn't renewed ??? I was told on these posts that scholarships were good for 4 years' when I explained about how the TU coach let one of his players go, so he could recruit another player more to his liking.... SO, are scholarships worth 4 years' or are they just up to the coaches' discretion ???? Someone answer please....Thank you....

You have to be a long time Cowboy fan to understand my less than enthusiastic responce that a hot dog is coming to town. (Bobdog would love to see him strutting his stuff. Bobdog will get excited if he does.)
	Report Comment CowboyBobDog, Creek Cty (7/6/2009 4:23:41 PM) (Bobdog meant to say, Lets see how good that hot dog can be when it has mustard and relish on.)
	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (7/6/2009 4:25:15 PM) May just turn out to be Kentucky Fried Chicken BobDog.
	Report Comment CowboyBobDog, Creek Cty (7/6/2009 4:28:32 PM) Can he put the ball in a bucket of KFC? (Bobdog still isn't getting excited.)
	Report Comment CowboyBobDog, Creek Cty (7/6/2009 4:29:46 PM) While being guarded? (Bobdog will munch on the chicken while this gets all sorted out.)
	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (7/6/2009 4:35:11 PM) Look BobDog, the guys name is Pilgrim, he is more than likely going to turn out to be a Turkey, so the chicken coment may have been pretty close.
	Report Comment CowboyBobDog, Creek Cty (7/6/2009 5:04:46 PM) If he's a Pilgrim I hope he comes armed with more than a blunderBUST. (Bobdog will wait and see. In the meantime pass some more of that chicken.)
	Report Comment MexiMike, Tulsa (7/7/2009 9:03:43 AM) BobDog, check out some of his highlights on youtube. The guy has TONS of talent. Cal ran him off so that he could clear room on the UK squad for "one and done" recruits. This guy will make an immediate impact in the middle.
	Report Comment Ash, Houston (7/7/2009 1:00:10 PM) "tulsandn"... Athletic scholarships are not like a 4 year contract as some folks think. They are essentially (4) 1 year scholarships renewable each year at the school's discression. It's pretty lame really. The school can choose to cut ties without penalty. If the kid opts out though, he has to sit out a year.
	Report Comment Ash, Houston (7/7/2009 1:06:12 PM) "He averaged 7.7 points and 5.2 rebounds in his other season at Hampton". We're talkin' 'bout Hampton folks...don't get too excited. Most kids who go pro as he stated he wants to do some day, don't get there by going thru Hampton > Kentucky > OSU > ??? You get the idea.
	Report Comment MexiMike, Tulsa (7/7/2009 3:14:44 PM) "Most kids who go pro as he stated he wants to do some day, don't get there by going thru Hampton > Kentucky > OSU > ??? You get the idea." Tony Allen, Joey and Steven Graham, and to a lesser extent John Lucas II have all made NBA rosters despite switching schools midway thru their collegiate careers. And they were all on the same OSU team!
	Report Comment Steff M, Claremore (7/8/2009 11:00:29 AM) They all would probably like to go pro but very few actually do. You never really know how kids will develop athletically or how much their desire and work ethic will increase. I don't think it has much to do with what school they went to. Just ask Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, etc., etc.
