I have stories to tell about Columbia, MO from my days at ND, but I'd rather not sully a recruit's thread. Suffice it to say that I enjoyed the hospitality of the women there ...

Did you discover a lost tribe of Seminoles, D!ck?

~ Coach Chizik is gonna try to put on a little magic act here. He's gonna try a little misdirection. He'll astound you with stories of SEC titles and dazzle you with official-sounding terms like National Championships. He might even try to cut into a few other teams for you. He'll have no evidence, mind you, none . . . but it will be entertaining.~

Son, we live in a world that has recruits, and those recruits have to be guarded by men with charisma. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. condoms SUCK? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for LSU, and you curse the Fighting Irish. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That LSU's loss, while tragic, probably saved our recruiting class. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, brings in talent. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that recruit, you need me on that recruit. We use words like 5 star, playing time, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a season spent defending our name. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very recruiting that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a telephone, and start recruiting. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

I feel like everyone here convinced themselves (with some help from some "sources" elsewhere) that the decision was imminent, and now that there hasn't been a decision yet they have convinced themselves that something has gone horribly wrong. The Armsteads never promised anyone a decision at a certain time, and even if they did, none of us have the slightest idea about what is "holding them up". They'll announce a decision when they feel like it. Maybe that is never; they'll just show up to school like Gunner.

Peoples' tendency to get anxious and restless because they don't have any new grist for the proverbial recruiting mill is annoying enough, but in this case many of you are getting anxious and restless because YOU decided that Armstead's announcement was imminent, and it hasn't happened yet.

I don't know what is going to happen here. Maybe they end up at Auburn. But I think it is a major stretch to read anything (good or bad) into the timing of the announcement based on the little that we know. We literally have *no clue* what is going on with the Armstead family right now. I think we have to like where we're at and be confident we put our best foot forward in this situation, and be content to let the chips fall where they may.

So what's the latest on timetable here? Last I hear JSapp was reporting 48 hours as of early yesterday evening. Is that still the case? Should I just avoid this thread all together until tomorrow? lol

Just checked the Auburn 247 recruiting site and the Auburn guy hasn't reported anything since yesterday evening. Posters are still scrambling through theories, but this post was funny to me:

I hate that we never seem to be able to win the battle recruiting kids who say "well, i want to make the best decision with my family..."

I wonder why?

Thanks for that. Made my morning.

Self-reflection can be painful, Auburn fans.

Auburn fans are the dumbest. I've provided them links to quotes that Arik is enrolled at Cal, ND, and Auburn, but they refuse to believe he's enrolled at ND because when you go to the school's site apparently Arik isn't there.

FWIW, 247 has predictions as to where the final 13 uncommitted will land. Arik to ND, Darby to Auburn, Agholor to Florida with it being close between them and USC, no mention of ND at all.

Predictions on where the 13 top uncommitted for '12 will sign

I can't speak for the parents of all recruits but if I had a son thinking about attending a school and I watched the "Roll Tide/War Eagle" ESPN special, I probably wouldn't send my child to either school in Alabama. People talking about killing the president, poisining the trees and screaming (in barely passable English) "Ro damn Tiad". That's just me though.

Gene Chizik has reportedly convinced the Armsteads that AU can get around the 1-year transfer rule. Take that for what it's worth and more improtantly- with a grain of salt. Does not suggest that's a deal maker or that Armond has even filed the proper paperwork at this time.

Ya I also get the feeling the longer this goes the worse for us... The fact he's truly undecided at this point is scary... ND has recruited Arik harder than anyone in the country it seems and the fact that one visit to auburn has made him think this hard isn't encouraging...

I think there are some stuff that has to be cleared away for the ND admission as well. It could very well be the reason for this long wait.
