Bear with me for a minute as I do a little inside-sports riff here. Stick with it though, because this post is not about football.
My beloved Spartans finished a disappointing season last week with a come from behind win over the TCU Hornfrogs in the, ahem, Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. After the game, in which starting quarterback and team co-captain, Andrew Maxwell was benched, I got a less than complimentary text about him from a perennial MSU-basher who shall remain nameless.
I didn’t respond to it at the time because the truth was that Andy didn’t have a good game. In fact, he had precious few good moments all season. He’s a junior so he’ll be back next season, but by no means is he guaranteed to be the starting quarterback again. After the game, he was asked how he felt about the benching:
Here here…
…and
GO IRISH!!!!
More young people should this type of attitude. Unfortunately, they are so few and far between, but if we keep praying, there will more Andrews in this world!
