I'm a VY guy, but I have my reasons which have been stated too many times in the past 4 months. But I recognize that Bush is an incredible talent as well. Thats is where my problem lies. IMO the anti-VY crowd has been immature and nasty in nature overall.
Why call the guy names? Why insult him? One of the greatest college players of all time is from our city, and this is how you treat him?
I wonder how many of the people on this board bashing VY are native Houstonians like myself. To me its pretty freaking sad. Some people have no class.
The part I put in bold is the answer to your question.
You say he's an incredible talent...but you're acting like we're drafting at No. 5 or lower. We are drafting NUMBER ONE in this year's draft. We took a heckuva' beating this past season, and maybe the payoff is that we get THE BEST RATED PLAYER AVAILABLE.
We're not after the hometown hero...but YOU are. And it's at the expense of what you know is the right thing to do this year. The scales have been tipped (for you and for others) by practically the only thing that doesn't really matter: He's from Houston.
And I don;t even want to hear for one second that the VY crowd has been so angelic and pure during all this, while the Bush crowd has been nasty about it. If anything, we've been tolerant of a homer'ish VY fan base.
