Funny thing happened: I click into Deon Hollins' thread yet griping about TP (for the eleventy billionth time) is all I see.
Odd.
You think?
Really quite Whack when one steps back from it.
What is strange about the above "discussion" to me is why anyone cares about who gets "credit" for "predicting" anything or not. This is a classic psychological situation where excessive focussing in a nearly fictional "community" of opinions [in the sense that IE board members don't actually interact with one another in a real world way] creates fantasy illusions about who is what and who has more vBucks and who needs to be stroked or bowed to. Really quite Whack when one steps back from it.
When the board diverts from actual open friendly information-sharing into these "You Dammed Little Punk" grenade-throwing sessions, it becomes more like a role-playing fiction experience that the rest of us have to wade through to try to learn things. "Taking credit" or tooting one's own horn about priority is rather pathetic and adolescent.
But I'm probably just old enough to have a clear, unbiased view on this situation, and all this crap-slinging is supposed to be part of fictional personalities playing over-the-top as trolls, negativists, primal screamers, desperately seeking some strange fun in b!tching about things. I wish it would stop, and I'm sorry for contributing to the thread derailment which has been well underway, but somebody with a little stature and backbone had to do it.
I fixed it for you. Way to go fellow Fiannan!
Why did they cancel?!

I now know who you really are...

It all makes sense now
So, still, other Than old Ben Wan-Mikey, no one knows anything?
IDK I just find that shaddy and disrespectful of the family to just turn them away like that. He just came back from an official visit that ND paid for him and his family and all they want in return is to come down and talk a little more.
IMO - if they did deny them
If he wants to shut it down, more power to him. If Folston did this to Auburn, we'd be clapping.
When's the last contact allowed? Diaco needs to sit on the front porch. I will gladly send him coffee as needed.

Pretty sure it's the Monday before NSD.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression it's Saturday.
Sunday is the quite period which just means there is no face to face contact unless a prospect is on campus. Monday starts the dead period but even then I think they get one phone call between then and Wednesday.
