It appears Arizona Wildcats linebacker Brian Wagner felt the same way.
Wagner, who transferred to Arizona from Akron, has left the team.
According to Anthony Gimino's Wildcat Report, Wagner said he's walking away for personal reasons.
"I just don't have love for the game anymore," he said.
Wagner added he was thinking about walking away for a while, and his departure is a big blow to a Wildcats team that has struggled to stop people in the past.
The 6-foot, 230 pound linebacker made a nation-best 147 tackles in 11 games for Akron last season, and was expected to play a key role in the team's new 3-3-5 defense.
But alas, it appears he is no longer interested in playing football, with the Wildcats or any team, leaving Rich Rodriguez's squad with very little depth at the linebacker position.
