Maybe she was worried about sharkboy comin for her...

She better think about who will be buying her the big house if/when he makes it to the NFL.

Florida boosters?

He transferred his senior year to a rival school. His teammates were pissed. Pretty sure mom was behind that too.
February 8th, 2018 at 8:14 AM ^
Not saying all parents have the purest of motives in these situations, but it wasn't long ago that Malik McDowell's mom was trying her hardest to get her son to go to Michigan in order to get him away from bad influences at MSU. She was clearly correct in her judgment.
February 8th, 2018 at 9:26 AM ^
Maybe she knew he'd be up to no good staying in town.
February 8th, 2018 at 9:40 AM ^
It's almost 5hrs from Pensacola to Gainesville.
Tuscaloosa is just a little over 4hrs away from Pensacola.
February 8th, 2018 at 9:44 AM ^
I was going off of someone saying the hometown team. Could still be a payout, or then Bama was the close to hometown team, or just all the bad press at Florida and tire fire they were.
Heck I hear they even lost to Michigan.
Thanks for correcting me!
February 8th, 2018 at 9:57 AM ^
I just happen to have been born and raised in Pensacola, FL

Love this board but goodness you guys sometimes are so ridiculous with your comments from the watchtower.
She wanted him out of town and away from the gangs and crew that he was hanging around and violence in Florida that her son's crowd was always a part of.
Yes she was a bit upset and acted immaturely but to rake her across the leaves as a bad parent or that she's taking money and it's ruining her payday.
Get it together people.

Yeah, that must be why she was hoping for Tennessee.
Not.
February 8th, 2018 at 10:28 AM ^
1) If she wanted him to go somewhere for football, then why the Tennessee hat?
2) Tuscaloosa is closer to his hometown than Gainesville is.
February 8th, 2018 at 9:14 AM ^
You might be right. But it could have had something to do with the 9 players who charged with credit card fraud last year, or maybe even the fact that the coaching staff which recruited him is no longer there.
I'm not sure that I would want my son playing for UofF in its current state (especially under Dan Mullen and Co.), but I'd like to think that I would handle it better than his mom did.

He's the one who has to go to school and play football there. It seems to effect him the most, he should be the one to make the decision.

MGoBoard Post Quality Litmus Test #72:
- Does the post contain the word snowflake? If yes, go to Step 2. If no, go to step 4.

At least she came back and hugged it out when she realized what bitch she was when her son started crying.

Rumor is that she faked it for the publicity and when the cameras were off went and hugged her son and signed the LOI.
Anything for your 15 minutes...I guess.
February 8th, 2018 at 8:30 AM ^
a) The cameras were on for the hug.
b) Copeland posted on Tuesday night that he was having a hard time making his decision and spent hours crying about making the right choice, and he still didn't have an answer.
Anything's possible, but there's a strong possibility that this was just a very tough decision for the family (and Copeland himself).
