Some of the comments in the Strib article about Travis' declaration that he's going to Stanford were interesting. They're comparing this to a Lebron moment because of the ego neediness and the deception by sitting behind the Gophers at a recent game - - - and then having the announcement here and calling Gopher contacts to come to his announcement press conference.
It's like he set it up intentionally to make it appear that he was picking Minnesota - and then hit everyone in the gut with the word "Standford." It must have fulfilled some kind of need his ego had to see a bunch of faces fall with disappointment.
Maybe we don't want someone with that level of need to have his ego stroked.
Or else we're dealing with an 18 year old kid trying to figure out his college choice. Way too much arm chair psychology going on here.
Certainly, I thought it was looking good for the Gophers given the press conference being open to the public and his attedance at the game, and certainly, I'm disappointed we didn't get him. Can't be mad at the kid, though, or draw sweeping conclusions about his ego. By all accounts, he's a good kid.
