"People dont understand what's going on. It is a family issue. But it's the kind of issue where he wants to get away from that. He wants to get to a place where he can get away from it and grow on his own. The irony here is that washington is just to close to his family. We hearing he needs to get farther away, dont be surprised when he ends up at bama."
Which is funny because my parents lived in West Seattle and my freshman year i didn't see them from early September until thanksgiving. The campus is so big and all your friends are there, you more or less feel like you're in your own area you forget you're in the middle of a big city. Especially when you lift at 6am, go to class, grab lunch, hit your last class, walk down to heced by 2 or 3, bullshit with teammates, get taped up, position meetings, installs, then practice till about 630. Training tables. Tudor sessions. By then it's8 or 9pm and you're beat.you walk back to the, dorm, put on a movie and pass out. 5am alarm comes before you know it.
Whether he's at uw, Bama, or Alaska fairbanks, he's not going to have much time to dwell on petty family shite. And from Reno, a flight to Seattle is maybe 2.5 hours, where flight to bumfuckaloosa is probably 4. Either way you're spending 3-4 yrs pre flight packing, checking in, driving, parking, letting tsa fondle your junk, and arriving early that at that point an extra 90 minutes flight time is negligible. It doesn't matter if he works as a ski instructor in tahoe, living in their isolated ski town with your closest colleagues where they put you up youre an hour's drive from Reno...mentally, you may as well be wotlds apart. This closer to home/ further from home argument is complete bullshit....unless, of course IF, he really does feels called to be with his family,, UNR should be the the ONLY logical destination.
Except I fear there's not much logic being peddled around that there household
