[QUOTE="elwoodtrix, post: 4152354, member: 7614"] Not sure if you actually read it. But to me, there was no "trash talk." "Not once, and he doesn't care that I left," Ford said. "He didn't care that I was leaving when I was about to leave. I tried to inform them, he didn't care. "I don't think me and the staff have the best relationship. Some of the coaches still text me to this day, but not all of them. ... When I was informing the coaching staff of thinking about leaving, they're like, 'OK, get on out of here.' They're pretty much like we don't want to talk to you. So that's just the life we live. It is what it is." Ford said this spring the injuries were one of the reasons he wanted to leave, saying he just needed a change of scenery and was reminded of his injuries every time he walked into Boone Pickens Stadium. An Oklahoma native, he stayed in-state and made what he called a "bold choice" to transfer to OSU's biggest rival, which obviously earned him a great deal of scorn from Cowboys fans. "It was tough," he said in February, according to the Tulsa World. "I know what's best for my career, and I met the people here and my mindset changed about Oklahoma and how I felt about them. At the end of the day, it was business for me and I'm happy I'm here." [/QUOTE]
