GR8PRKN Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Any thought on doing a ..."We want you back in Buffalo" Billboard in Schobels home town? Kinda like the one they did for Farve. I am sure some don't want him back but I think we could use hime in the new 3-4. Thoughts?? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/imag...e-billboard.jpg

BillZerk Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 hey Lori: this is the greatest thread ever. exclamation point. period. jw I live near his hometown (Columbus, TX) His parents operate a restaurant. On Mar 19th we stopped there at lunch time and guess who was behind the counter making himself a plate from the buffet line. Aaron and his brother Matt. My son was wearing his Aaron Schobel jersey at the time. We talked to him for a minute and he signed my son's jersey. Took a group picture..... I wanted to ask him about his retirement decision but didn't want to bug him. He said something about being out of shape so that may be indicative of his passion.

BillnutinHouston Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I live near his hometown (Columbus, TX) His parents operate a restaurant.

I wanted to ask him about his retirement decision but didn't want to bug him. He said something about being out of shape so that may be indicative of his passion. I always wondered if that restaurant was his family's. I think there's also another Schobel's on I-35 betwen San Antonio and Austin.
Estro Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 My gut feeling is that Schobel has already informed the team that he intends to retire. The Bills told him to sit on it for a couple more weeks and really give it a second thought. If he decides to retire, the Bills will announce it soon after the draft to try and lessen the blow. A Russ Brandon marketing decision the whole way. Bad news is always taken a bit better after some good news (the draft).
Celtic_soulja Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 It'd be great if we had a stellar season without him...make him feel stupid for hanging it up so early... and I agree...if any billboards come up it needs to be for BUTLER...
BobDVA Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 no, inside joke. sorry. jw On the outside looking in.
Lori Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 On the outside looking in. Awwww, don't cry. Here: Great! Greater! Greatest column, ever! Enjoy. As I posted when I linked this on Facebook, I don't know if Jeff is the greatest! columnist! ever!, but I think he's pretty darn good.
billieve420 Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I would be doing everything in my power to trade Schobel if he decides to return and Kelsay they are bad fits for this defense. Slow footed guys who are not equipped to play the OLB position.
BillsRUs Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 YES!! Lets do the sign. Bring him back..... and TRADE him. A guy who who contemplates retirement for 6--7 months is never going to come back to give it everything he's got. IMO when you're mentally doubting everything, its very hard to translate that to a complete physical commitment. especially over a long period of time in the face constant failure (possibly) . We're better off using him as trade bait.
