Hopkins and I are currently going at it via twitter

I cancelled mine a few months ago. It has not been the same since Sapp left, he brought it everyday. Now it is a bunch of guys trying to get the next headline, and not actually providing real concrete information.

I am glad that I cancelled when I did, because it seems to only be getting worse. I haven't gotten a subscription to anywhere else because it seems that just as fast as the information is out it is posted here.

I like PMs (not PMS) too

PMS jokes aren't funny, period.

[GBdomer]

On top of cancelling subscriptions, I would also advocate to not visit 24/7 at all.

- Don't look up the composite ratings
- Don't look up their ratings
- Don't read their articles
- Don't search their top 247
- Don't search the team rankings
- Don't give them any clicks or ad revenue
- Completely boycott the site

 

[aubeirish]

I vote YAY for a major Boycott of all 24/7. Don't even click on the website. Stop following their "journalists"(I couldn't emphasize more the italics)

DO it

I no longer have a 24/7 account to cancel, but I do have an inbox to fill.

...that sounds dirty.

 

[gkIrish]

Bless you all. I vow never to post any 247 tweets on IE ever again.

 

[Irishbounty28]

Does that mean no more 247 star ratings in the recruits thread as well?

 

[irish o'phile]

Remove/exclude the 247 rankings/composite rankings out of profiles. I am not going to reference that site anymore.

Remove the Loy link as well. No sense in halfassery.

 

[irish o'phile]

At the end of the day, it doesn't mean a thing to me. It is just $ out of their pocket.

Let's make a long term and continuous post implying that we do not support or access them.

 

[aubeirish]

NO MORE SOUP 24/7!. NEXT!

ISD. Hollywood knows Mike and Christian and they always seem to come though with good information. If I wasn't broke as shit I'd sign up for ISD. II is okay, but the boards are garbage save TJ34.

I don't know about this whole boycott thing, because I've never given 247 a dime, nor have I ever considered subscribing. I don't care for the "self-fulling prophesy" system they encourage or the lack of oversight or accountability built in to that same system. Is it the slimiest place on the internet for CFB? Probably not, but it certainly competes. There are a few 247 boards for other teams that I occasionally lurk on, but that is the extent of my involvement.

That said, like Rack Em I am an ISD subscriber and I will say that it is the best money I've ever spent on my college football obsession. The staff there are 100% class acts, which I appreciate more than anything in the current world of CFB recruiting. I have never been under the impression that they overstep their bounds, and they provide in depth analysis of actual football that has given me a greater appreciation for the game.

Might I suggest, it may already have been suggested, that we enlist the services of the mercenary, Fister? He has enough clout over with board members of 247 that they could make Hopkins' 247 life difficult.

Great work everybody. I wish I had a subscription to cancel.

Please no. That would be like bringing Kiffen in to consult on the offense. Just...no.

The Allies asked a similar question when they dropped Atomic Bombs in WW2..

Sometimes you kill fire with fire. I think pointing Fister, his time and efforts towards Hopkins is brilliant (but I said it first ).

 

[dublinirish]

How can we bring him back into the fold? haha...you know he probably sends his resume to 247/rivals/scout every other day hoping to get on the payroll

He is our cricket. He'll always be willing and able if we make him feel important.
