'11 SC QB Everett Golson (FSU transfer)

[IrishLax]

It's pretty simple. Magogian posted a completely unsubstantiated rumor on here about an injury to Everett (the source was "a rumor on II"). Any other day... sure, let it stand until it's vetted.

On April Fools Day? Nope. Completely needless panic. Until someone with a legitimate source wants to make a proclamation of fact this is an utter waste of time and an exercise in futility. If there actually is an injury, it'll be everywhere tomorrow morning. Just chill.

Now that's a nice clean thread Mr. Moderator.

Thank you for your service.

Killz. I appreciate your point view and I agree that a meltdown does not need to occur. When I started "donating" to this site in 07, the touchdown Jesus forum was heavily utilized for inside info. A lot of rumors were proved true or debunked in the forum but it was nice to have a little inside info and a place that "we" as in paying or donating users could discuss all sorts of topics without the concern of a public meltdown.

So, we may have both donated to this site but it appears that we donated for different reasons.

P.s. why the need to be a dick?

Suppose I trashed the thread cleaning.... It's a bit slow typing on the iPad.

Would the news be any less dramatic any other day of the year, LAX? Just sayin'..... He is after all, our starting quarterback. Seems to be a bit overly dramatic on your part. Love ya bud, and you do a great job, but report the news, not shut it down....correct or not. It's not for the few to determine what the many read. Let the masses determine for themselves what is real and what is bullcrap. That's not your job.

You know what? I took you completely the wrong way.

It seemed to me that you were leveraging your payment as a form of demand.

I must have been completely off base.

I am very sorry.

I donated in hopes of seeing this place stay around; that and to diminish the ads which are the alternative to accumulating income as a website owner.

Let me clarify... the drama level is the same regardless of the day. The chance of veracity is what is much greater on any other day of the year. If you want to post "sky is falling" news on April Fools Day it needs to be vetted by someone.

Eh, if it was someone like TP who posted it or anyone on campus... or even if magogian had said "I heard it from a source close to the team and I swear I'm not BSing" I'd totally agree with you that it is 'news.'

When someone says "it's a rumor on II" that's just horse crap and totally worthless. And I feel comfortable making that judgement call and saving a bunch of people from going "omg!!! is he really hurt???" I went around every pay site I subscribe to looking for even a hint of this and texted two people who tend to know their stuff before deciding to remove "rumor" (and by rumor I mean likely obvious prank... at least to me, from the onset it seemed quite transparent... would've probably been more plausible if they had gone with someone like Louis Nix or Zach Martin... hopefully my cynicism is accurate, but I just don't buy this crap on April 1st). There is not anything from any half reputable source even alluding to this "injury" right now.

And as I said.... in the off chance that somehow the stars aligned such that catastrophic news occurred in the weening hours of April Fools Day... it'll be known everywhere tomorrow anyways. So what's the point in hashing through everything now?

Fair enough...

You succeeded in getting some people going at least. So put that feather in your cap.

d!ck

 

[magogian]

Yippee! I think I missed it all though. You clean up the wreckage way too fast.



:mob:

Why? The same guy that panicked about Jay Hayes and made two threads on 247?

Guilty. I can dish it, but I can't take it.

 

[magogian]

Definitely has some homoerotic, S&M undertones.

It's called M-o-d-e-r-a-t-i-n-g. A concept a few can't seem to grasp. Thanks for the work you and the others do!

Good call, Buster, that would make more sense. My second reaction to hearing this after "REALLY?" was that it provides the ND students a lot of material for their Gameday posters (if she goes to the USC out West).

If he knocks her up will he leave too??

ND doesn't have a rivalry with SCar, though. If Amir introduced them it is the real USC.

 

[phork]

And....... Does she play on the team? If not, who really gives a flying fart?

 

[Whiskeyjack]

I just asked McMurphy for clarification re SCar v. So Cal. A slew of nerdy Iliad jokes hangs in the balance here.
