By the way that Lars guy that wrote the article is a real asshat. I remember him railing on ND previously when he wrote an article about another recruit. I mean, just look at him:

Lars Hanson, professional journalist.

The editor there posted another update on the ND 247 board:

I am the editor there and what I wanted to do was present both sides of the story, the reporter who wrote it didn't particularly want to be censored, per se, but I felt we needed to qualify Tee's statements with the information received from our ND sources here on 247 and make it a fair article. It's my experience that kids tend to feel jilted about these things and sometimes they just perceive things that might not be the case at all. I scrambled around a little bit and put it all back together into a more informative article in terms of the ND/Oklahoma part of it. We're still getting used to the scheduling aspect of posting articles and this one went up before I had a chance to get it fully edited and make sure it was well-researched. Keep forgetting that the scheduler isn't on west coast time!

Honestly, all of this makes me think of the end of the Faith No More "Epic" video where the fish is just flopping around on the floor.... You want to help, but you know there is nothing you can do, and it is sad. Apparently no animals were harmed making that video, so that makes me feel better, but good lord...

What a bunch of total bull. YOU CANNOT BLOCK SOMEONE YOU KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL AND WON'T WELXOME BACK FROM ENROLLING SOMEWHERE. This is common ****ing sense. Likely Oklahoma lied to him saying they couldn't take him because of ND when really it was transcripts or whatever so that they would still have a chance with him after JUCO.

More fundamentally you can't block a prospect that didn't receive NCAA Clearinghouse certification. Without the requisite GPA/Test Score a prospect can't be granted an NCAA scholarship.

Note his HS coaches comment in this Dec 4, 2012 article about Oklahoma where Tee was hoping to get a certifiable ACT score so he could get into a Div 1 school.

Report: Cornerback Tee Shepard to enroll at Oklahoma in January | News OK

Report: Cornerback Tee Shepard to enroll at Oklahoma in January
OU football recruiting: Fresno, Calif., native joined Notre Dame in January but left before spring practice began.
By Ryan Aber Published: December 4, 2012
Tee Shepard, one of the top cornerbacks in the 2012 recruiting class, reportedly will enroll at Oklahoma in January.

His decision was reported by Rivals.com.
“The 5 star corner Tee Shepard is now...#BackInBusiness,” Shepard tweeted Tuesday evening.
Shepard (6-foot-1, 180 pounds) joined Notre Dame in January but left the team before spring practice began.
Shepard played as a junior for the same high school, Fresno (Calif.) Central East, as Sooners defensive back commitment Hatari Byrd. Shepard had to sit out his senior season after transferring back to Fresno Washington Union.

“I know he's been studying and preparing and working as hard as he can to get a score on the ACT to get into a Division I school,” Washington Union coach Jeff Freitas told the South Bend Tribune.

Going to write! Sounds like an easy job, apparently no need for research! Man my summer vacation is off to a great start: Got on this thing called twitter, herd it might be around for a while and thought of a new career! I'm rolling!

I guess the whole song is apposite...

"Can you feel it ,see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it 'cause it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy, it's outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference 'cause it knocks you off your feet
You want it all but you can't have it
It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You've got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
It's magit, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
It's sad it happened and it's a shame
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
What is it?
It's it
What is it?.."

and for those who are too young:

Nice tweet Feldman, what a dick.

I've lost of a respect for Feldman over the last 6 months or so. He wrote some good articles about ND while we were rolling in 2012, but ever since the curse of 2013 struck, he's usually been the first high profile reporter to retweet every negative rumor about ND, no matter how unsubstantiated.

Epic post. Epic band. Epic video. Epic song.

Our younger members should definitely give FNM a look.

Yep, I still maintain though that one can't be too message board savvy...and remain cool in real life. :yes:

I make no claims to coolness.

irishpat is probably cooler than me. trinity is definitely cooler than me.

Get with the 'gram, OG.
At dinner with my family recently and my dad said something that made me give that hand sign.

He looked at me and said, "Son don't be rude at the dinner table"
Shocked , I looked at him and asked what was rude about that?
He said, "I know a shocker when I see one. Don't be obtuse"
I literally spit my food across the table.
LOL.

Obviously something that rocked!!!! He said he was in the attic and found some of old 45 LPs. I had not known where they were for 15 years. So yeah that gets that symbol cause it was so nice.

What's the latest on him? Is he coming back...or has he been let back?

I somehow perma-banned him when I only intended to give him a vacation for the night and be back next morning... sooooo.... I realized that about a week ago (I forgot which political topic it was but I was like "where is pat on this? wait... did I..."), got him un-banned, and sent a follow up apology PM for the mistake.

But I haven't heard back or seen him around these parts since.

In summary, I'm awesome at moderating. :awesomewo

Just to show that I can an old curmudgeon about things other than grammar and Bambi poop on my lawn. That would be "old 45's AND LP's." 45's were far from Long Playing LP. LP's were records with a wider diameter and played at 33 RPM rather than 45 RPM.



Class dismissed.

Yes I left out "and". That still does not excuse my dad's failed attempt at being hip. FIFYBTW

That's cool, man ... I shouldn't be mucking about in family matters anyway.

I'm sorry. I'll lock myself in my bedroom tonight (with a six-pack) until I learn my lesson.

He probably is taking the time to sleep. I can't imagine twins and posting as much as he did.

Omg. You totally nailed. Spend more time in the bathroom now then I have at any point in my life. Also I am more willing than ever to run to the store for anything.
