There is something up if you have been watching him. He has been very disruptive, not paying attention to the coach, disruptive to fellow players and refs...acted strange.

The guy has some mental health issues.

Well he obviously didn't provide a murder weapon to someone because that's not a dismissable offense.

If only the Red Raiders made the Big Dance....that first round matchup against Alabama would be "guns up" fabulous...

Did he drink a bunch of Monsters?

He just posted that he's seeking help for mental issues. Basically said he was suicidal.

Which is why I never boo or trash a college athlete. In person or on the internet. ..even if they're not trying.

Professional athlete... different story..

Why is a professional athlete a different story? He or she is still a human being. In my mind, we shouldn't treat a professional athlete any differently than you'd treat an accountant or painter or teacher or any other person working in his or her profession or trade. I don't think that society should treat athletes as gladiators - and I've never understood why an attendee at a game feels entitled (or wants) to trash to her or his face a player in the game. (I suspect that I'm in the minority on this topic.)

Pros sometimes have greater pressure & bigger problems. It's probably not as bad as it is for music or film stars but celebrity can take its toll.

You probably aren't in the minority for sports fans in general. Hopefully Baylor fans are a bit classier. Sometimes I have my doubts.

Maybe I wasn't clear..I'll boo the hell out of a professional athlete for lack of effort...the term 'professional' assumes some pride in your profession..example. Lamar Odom when he got traded to Dallas..he basically robbed Mark Cuban based on his efforts..I booed his ass mercilessly.

I'll never boo a pro athlete or college athlete for a physical mistake..those happen..I've played sports on a semi high level so I have an appreciation how hard it is to get to that level.

I've never and never will boo a kid for any reason.
