Everybody continue to drop the hot, sticky, delicious sauces. Spices this board up some as opposed to the usual pointless arguments.

I've had it with the smurphy disrespect. He's this board's twitter king and deserves to be treated as such. Forgive them smuphy for they know not what they do.

I have zero ill will toward smuphy or his source, just pointing out a trend and that maybe he should use more caution when relaying info from said source; or not, whatever.

Why? His news is always welcome regardless of accuracy.

This comes across as,

Guys, I really get my feelings hurt and depressed when the info you offer doesn't happen 100% every time. Can you please consider how soft I am when posting inside info?

It sucks to get burned...

Still don't talk to the sauce who told me back in '11 that Roof was being shown the door, with the plan being to hire Mark Snyder in his place.

I still blame him for how 2012 unfolded.

Smuphy has been quite accurate. And he is not wrong, the situation "is complicated" when it comes to recruits and NIL. We probably did assume they would counter, just not what they are countering with considering they dont want to lose any more players and certainly not to us. I hope they offer Beamon the moon.....James Smith gets pissed and comes home, lol.

I could tell a great story about bidding for a business and emotions getting in the way regarding Pepsi and Coke and the purchase of Gatorade.

Randy is allergic to hope.

He was booking Final 4 tix during the sweet 16 game though and i am waiting for the call.

I love some Smuphy. He was wrong as a TideSaint on the JMU QB.

yeah, I dont see us taking a portal Qb. Its just not gonna happen before spring. Now if Hank or Walker (less likely) win the job, then I could see us picking up someone if Thorne or Geriner leave.

But if we have learned anything from Freeze, he has faith in his players even when he shouldnt. Thorne sucks, but he insists on giving him every opportunity instead of moving on. We'll see. IMO he will keep the Qb competition going until the fall to avoid QB transfers and then pick one come fall, when no one has the opportunity to leave. Just a hunch

Randy getting a lot of hate for being correct.

Y’all are acting like he’s being super emotional but he’s not at all. Smuphy’s source seems to get ahead of himself. Just the facts and it effects how you judge anything going forward from that source.

Related to smuphy’s source but genuinely curious and not trying to be a dick if this ended up being not true. Did that safety from Colorado ever get announced? Would be weird if he was in classes and never got announced. I haven’t heard about him anywhere else

its not hate at all. Just pointing out its not always wise to bite the hand that feeds you. Seems to be a wise saying for some reason, no?

Smurphy is just relaying what he hears. And what he hears comes from within the program. I think we can all agree on that yes?

I'm probably going to start filtering things a little more, I got excited about the Beaman news and shouldn't have said anything.


shite changes in the portal so much that it can be right one minute and completely wrong the next. It's ridiculous.

This is how you treat faulty sauces.

You bring info here and you’re open to criticism when that source is wrong. Just how it goes and Smuphy has been here long enough to know that. And I don’t even think he’s offended by anything said

Basically what you’re implying is that you just have to suck up to the people that bring info and pretend they’re right all the time otherwise they’ll stop bringing info. Which if that’s anybody’s stance, I say frick off and don’t bring info.
