[QUOTE="up state jacket, post: 224357, member: 1512"] I liked him as a player while at Tech and rooted for him in the Pro's even though he played for Detroit, but today I lost a little respect for the guy. He was on Mike and Mike chiming in on the pay college athletes debate. He was all for it, but that wasn't the what got me. He basically played down the value a Tech education offers anyone who attempts to obtain one. He said the only thing a Tech education did for him was make sure he was always prepared. That sounds good on the surface, but to continue his argument against going to college was he doesn't use algebra every day. In fact he said he hasn't used algebra today or any other day since leaving Tech. Yes algebra is what he used. Lastly, he blamed Mark Price for costing him the #1 draft spot in 86. Yes Mark Price cost him from being selected #1. Reason for that is because "coach Cremins really believed in Mark Price." He made it sound like Cremins liking Mark better or trusting him more is the reason he went 11 and not 1. It wasn't like Yvone being there his first two years didn't help his #'s. It wasn't that Price was hitting bombs on a regular basis and opening up the middle. It wasn't that Bruce was driving and dishing or letting his man get ambushed by Salley on d allowing him to block shots. Nah he just got screwed. [/QUOTE]
