It was really hard for me to like this team. It was nothing like the 2008 team and seeing how Collins has blown off his teammates and coaches after this season, he's ruined his reputation (at least with me). I know the majority of KU fans will still love him but what he's done the last month has been really disappointing.
What's funny about your entire post is that it was his behavior
after the season that ruined his reputation.
It's not like his behavior for the last four years wasn't enough to do that already.
Which brings us back to the original point that KU, more than most other fan bases, will deify you while you're winning, but then start saying stuff like this after you fail and/or leave.
Folks thought Todd Reesing was a great kid/player, and they turned a blind eye to his blatant partying while they won, but when things started going South, it became a 'problem', and the most beloved KU football player since John Riggins was being told by his own fans that he needed to be benched in favor of a vastly inferior backup (Pick).
That's the humor, sir. Collins' behavior was always disappointing. Whether it was (or wasn't) dry humping women in an elevator, being Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) enough to miss your own court date, showing up out-of-shape every single season, or being a part of the scrum with the football team, and whatever else I can't think of off of the top of my head, it just cracks me up to hear KU fans talking about their sudden disappointment in an otherwise stand up kid. GMAFB.
