I am betting there is a certain writer at the SBT that would want it... :eek:

u mean this detective?

“@TJamesNDI: To be fair, the language in that tweet doesn't match most of the other tweets from @DjFluker76. Uses what instead of wat.”

eek indeed

Don't you put that evil on us, Ricky Bobby.

Who hires a Michigan fan to cover ND football? Err, who hires a Michigan fan for anything?

Those guys are always tardy to the party. Goes against the way BGI made their name - quick, up-to-the-minute updates. Those 3 have good write ups about a week after stuff happens.

Um, excuse me? Did you casually drop a Kim Zolciak reference? Pretty sure that's against IE's Terms of Use.

Clean sh!t out of urinals?

I'm not a strong reader.

Lol I thought about James as well. The dude is a huge doofus. Probably the worst ND follow there is on twitter.

Apparently she feels blessed. When I "reward" her for her special efforts with mine she exclaims "Oh, God, OH GOD, OH GOD ... yes, YES, YES!!!"

It's a high class Home with excellent sound proofing.


Tell the truth now. Those exclamations of joy are due to your stockpile of Ben & Jerry's Sweddy Balls, not yours. According to informed sources she's a sucker for fudge coated rum balls not dry-rotted Spaldeen's.

I'm embarrassed anyone would reference the "tardy to the party" reference.


EERRRRR...seriously, my wife watches it.

Covering recruiting's a weird business. It's not like most sportswriting gigs in that instead of covering games and writing features, you're endlessly hounding 17-year-olds for scraps of their ever-changing opinion. I wouldn't expect a veteran, traditional sportswriter (like, say Eric Hansen) to excel at it.
Sapp, as a former player (and apparently staffer in the recruiting office?), who also hustled his *** off, was uniquely well-suited for that kind of job. He'll be hard to replace. Best to get someone young and hungry with a lot to prove, but who can also relate to these kids, as opposed to a "name" already on the ND beat.

OSU 247 and Michigan 247 have both recently hired from their blog communities so all signs point to someone from IE, right?

We'd all be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn't compile a resume of the best poster on this site and submit it to BGI.

That person, naturally, is Trinity.

Pretty sure they're just planning on crowd sourcing it to the Bang Bang Facebook group.

The one that went to school in the south? I wouldn't be opposed to that, as long as she is objective and doesn't bring any ACC bias (I think she's a recent Clemson grad). She has been putting out a lot of great stuff lately. Really hitting the pavement. Not to mention she could use her looks to lure more info from high school kids haha... joking... kinda...

And you should be. It's Dazs not Dasz. (I read the small print.)


I'll cut you some slack for the rum induced transposition but GB ...

wonder if anyone from II is contacted, seems like they could afford to lose one of Brown Hare, or Sampson

I know from someone who knows those guys over at Rivals, that says those guys are overworked as it is, considering they do team stuff as well recruiting, and have to travel a ton to see players and do evals and all kinds of stuff. Considering that, Rivals can't afford to lose them, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone left them for Sapp's job.

Yeah. He got mad at Hollywood and asked to be deleted.

Ha ha, that was a funny night.

Domelover and I did not see eye to eye from the jump, beginning with the fact that he called a recruit's dad 'retarded' (or something to that effect) and the fact that he used to tweet at recruits with his boy grubl. He and that idiot would bring that crap to this site and make us look like fools. Several people told him to cut that crap out, and he would, but like a crack fiend he couldn't help himself and he'd go right back at it.

I tried to help him out by showing him the etiquette of posting (he was fond of ripping recruits when he first joined) and he seemed to get better.

Then one night he posted something offensive and I deleted it, which set him off, and he PM's me ripping me a new one, talking about how ****** of a teacher I am and how my students must hate me, and that I was an old man etc etc. Now, a better man would let that go, considering he's just a high school kid. But it was late Friday night, my wife had already went to bed, and well, I'm not a better man.

So I joined in his rip-fest and bagged on him back (not horribly, but I let him have it). Finally I got bored with it and decided to end it, and told him this, "Look kid, it's 11:30 on Friday night, my wife and I already did our thang, I'm 38 yrs old and already had my fun in life, and bagging on some high school kid with a big mouth before I go to bed isn't something I'm proud of but I'll sleep well tonight. But when I was in h.s., if I EVER found myself sitting in front of a computer on a Friday night arguing with some old man that I'll never meet over some insignificant bullsh!t, I'd shoot myself in the mouth and end it all. For real. Kid, get yourself a girl or get yourself some real friends, 'cause this is embarrassing. It's Friday night and you're in high school but you're sitting here talking to me. Think about that."

He deleted his account 5 minutes later and that was that LOL. Like I said, not something I'm proud of but it funny at the time (reason #2,614 it was time for me to step down), and it has probably saved the new mods a lot of headaches. I don't doubt that he's posting under a new name (you guys would be amazed at how many people we catch doing this).

(Quick tangent...he'll probably look back at all the things he has written and realize how foolish he was. I can't imagine all the stupid things I would have said on a site like this as a high schooler. Shoot, I'm 38 now and I still do stupid things, so imagine me as a high schooler??? There are a couple of high school kids on here now, one of which has said a lot of stupid things, but he has gotten better lately. Happens with age and experience. We have some great members who started in high school, but man, that's a tough age for many just because of maturity issues. Rant over.)

I'm sure it was an even bigger buzz kill that you had to deal with all that....knowing that you specifically stayed up late just to grab some Skinemax action on the tv.

Some of our best posters are in high school. Slu, Philly, probably others I am missing.

Hollywood, you are in the Bend, aincha? Apply to BGI! I would love to see you moderating that board ... There are some real idiot posters over there

No doubt. I am what I am LOL. Most of the time I am a pretty good Catholic boy, but in this case sadly I went for the laugh over the 'be a better man'. I deserve everything I have coming to me lol.

LOL, I was just being nonsensical. I actually appreciate the speak softly and carry a big stick, then use it to bludgeon those that earned it doctrine.
