yzerman19 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Comment that i heard from a very reliable sources was only "Brock got screwed by the University of Denver." Its all speculation from here. He lives off campus, so it isn't housing related...most likely some sort of academic issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four Below Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 But he MUST know what he's talking about, just look at how he gestures with his hands constantly. Speaking of Dubay, did you see the guy in the Sioux jersey heckling him during the Dubay/Marnie comments after Saturday's game? I thought I heard the guy call Dubay a "numb-nut". That was one obnoxious & loud fan. Perfect guy to razz Dubay. Sorry, off-topic... Will be interesting to find out the real reason for the Trotter departure. It seems pretty clear that Gwoz holds no hard feelings which seems to indicate that it wasn't really Trotter's decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickboy1956 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thank the LORD! At least we won't have to listen to Dubay either! Just for one night - he will be back on FSN North Sat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I believe the game is on Fox College Sports Atlantic, not Pacific. I've got all three (Atlantic, Central, Pacific). I should've stopped at saying I saw it's on one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I've got all three (Atlantic, Central, Pacific). I should've stopped at saying I saw it's on one of them. Yeah, if you get one, you generally get all three. The regional name is just a label for what region the college sports they are showing is from.

sprig Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 tonight's game also on FOXRM (414 Dish) and B10-HD (439 Dish). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Sounds like there is more to it than we are hearing. for sure and for anyone comparing this to the okposo situation well there is no comparison other than hes gone. KO was a top draft pick and squirmed his way out of town using garth snow and bolting because he wasnt happy. from all sounds of the trotter situation something happened with school im guessing and had no choice but to persue his pro career. hes a undrafted free agent and so found a team that probably has been interested in him from the time he stepped onto du campus and signed with them. this smells nothing like he just got up and quit on his team, he may have did something to cause it all to happen but nothing like the garth/ko saga. bottom line is that du is now without their top scoring forward and a hell of a college player. big loss for them for the stretch run.

puck swami Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 As a Denver fan, here's my take on Totter: I believe Brock was either expelled or about to be expelled by the University (prompting a withdrawl) and when he knew he couldn't come back to the team, he signed with the best pro deal he could find. I have no idea what he did to get himself into that dangerous position the first place- the usual reasons for expulsion are either 'student conduct' or 'academic' violations. Denver likely kept quiet while Trotter found his pro deal, and annoucned his departure as a pro sigining. This gives Trotter an out, and saved DU from having to embarrass Trotter with a public dismissal. Either way, it's a blow for the Pios. Losing your top scorer is never a good thing.

At 21, he is still young but mistakes have consequences. Kudos to DU for handling it fairly well from a public perspective. Maybe he can learn and move one.

Kudos to DU for handling it fairly well from a public perspective. Maybe he can learn and move one. Why would the university throw him under the bus? I'm sure they know what everyone else knows, the fans will throw him under the bus, drive over him, then back up and finish the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franchise Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I was cruising through my fantasy hockey updates and say the Trotter signing and then right under that, I saw something about the Blues hoping that Oshie would be able to make the last 14 or so games this year. Then I got sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gives Trotter an out, and saved DU from having to embarrass Trotter with a public dismissal. Or did it save DU and The Gwoz from having to face the media in a far less positive situation and answer some sticky, uncomfortable questions. Some folks might be cynical and call that approach the coward's way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggler Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Since when do fans throw a player under the bus? LOL Brian Lee. Last year. Though he wasn't so much thrown under the bus as he had a tank parked on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 After seeing the FSN-RM crew talk about Trotter being gone from DU in the pre-game, and the statements by The Gwoz, I wished I'd invested in air sickness bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZSIOUX Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 2 good articles one saying his agent mentioned he was suspended http://letsgodu.blogspot.com/ so i say hes was suspended for the semester, figured he wouldnt be back next year anyway so left and signed pro.way different than the okposo situation. he just left.

Brock woke up one morning and realized he was playing for that creampuff and found the quickest way to get out of Fairyland/Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
