Bobby Wagner

Post by GUS » November 24th, 2023, 8:57 pm

I know it's been discussed on here before but my old brain can't remember the reason. Why does Bobby Wagner not say Utah State University in the player introductions anymore? Instead he gives the name of his hometown. He used to say The Utah State University. Did the athletic department crap the bed with him?

A rumor was that it was related to Hartwell, but it still happened last night, though it's possible it is still pre recorded from past seasons. I wasn't going to bring this up again if noone else did.

I have no idea, but did note that a number of other Seattle players did something similar.

I think there was something about Hartwell kind of assuming Bobby would give money without ever really trying to build a relationship with him. Don’t know for sure but hopefully Sabau can fix things.

In defense of Bobby, last year there was some thing where everyone picked the winner of one or another Big Game (probably CFP) and he came out and said "Ah screw it, Utah State. Go Aggies."

I don't think it's a dig on USU. I think he just want's SoCal street cred when he's on the tube.

He's a great Aggie no matter what he says.

How long until we get his number hanging at the Mav?

(Side note, I hate retiring numbers. We should retire jerseys, not numbers, but I digress.)
