Really? John Turner, a ND VERBAL, admitted he reads Irish Envy in an interview with a reporter. Aaron Lynch, Mr. friggin Beast/Stud has POSTED on Irish Envy. So has his mom, as we all know. Chris Badger's brother has posted on ISD, and gave us the pleasure of reading an inspirational email his sent to his brother (phenomenal message btw). BGIF can tell you the countless number of recruits' family members who have posted and/or read this site. And there have been recruits who have publicly stated that they were turned off of certain schools, even decommitting in a couple of cases, b/c of fans on message boards. But keep thinking that I'm making this stuff up.
I am well aware of this fact thank you, and it is wonderful. But what about my comments would bother any recruits, parents, or current members of the team? Nowhere did I disparage any player on the roster. In fact, the one player I suppose in your mind I would offend (Hendrix) I went on in the rest of my comment to say that I wouldn't want to see him transfer. He's one of my favorite players on the team and I can't wait to watch him play.
I doesn't have to be definitive. Saying that it looks like he's going to transfer implies that you know something. So where is your proof? How many times do I have to ask this? Like I said, you're acting like Lindsay Lohan in Mean Girls. Just making sh!t up, and what's sad is that it's about our own player. Did BK make him #4? Any links? Any quotes? Anything? Your original post said that it's looking more and more likely that he is going to transfer, which is a complete lie. Why in the hell do you get all butt-hurt when someone asks you to provide some proof??? If you can't handle a simple request, then why are you even posting that? How hard would it have been to simply say, " I wouldn't be surprised if Hendrix eventually transferred?" Or, "IMO Golson is better and Hendrix will have a decision to make." Instead, you lie and say it's looking more and more like he's going to transfer, which again, is complete bullsh!t. I could say the same about Golson. However, I'm not Lindsay Lohan.
Typical response. You're the one who 100% overreacted and now you're surprised that I am reacting to your comments? Huh?
You took my comment the wrong way. I explained that that was not how I meant the comment to come off. And yet, here you are still not getting it.
Seriously, it seems like you're just trying to pick a fight.
There is no proof that Hendrix is going to transfer. I immediately made this clear once you "confronted" me about it. Yet, you're still harping that I need some evidence.
Evidence of what? I don't get it. Have you dug yourself such a deep hole that you're incapable of apologizing and understanding my true intent??
I can't wait to see Hendrix play this year and I would be disappointed if he left ND. Nevertheless, I don't think he will leave and I expect him to see minutes this year. Why are you treating me like I'm someone trashing Hendrix and spreading lies about him.
If he doesn't play this year, or if Golson plays this year, the liklihood of Hendrix transferring goes up. It's quite that simple. I don't need evidence to make that comment. You don't need evidence to make that comment. You don't need to get all upset about me saying something like that.
If you had stated it like an opinion, I wouldn't have said a word. You said it was likely going to happen. Why? Because BK hasn't named a #3 yet?
I said IF GOLSON PLAYS THIS YEAR then Hendrix might transfer.
This is not gossip.
This is not some unsubstantiated rumor.
This does not offend any player or any recruits.
You didn't start your post out that way, but nice try. You immediately said that it Hendrix was more and more likely going to transfer. Don't get hurt when someone asks you to verify that.
Now I'm really starting to question if you read my entire post. So what if I started off my post that way? What matters is if you read the following few sentences is that it was clear I wasn't spreading any false rumors.
If you think I was, I'm telling you I wasn't. What the hell am I supposed to verify??
The fact that I've always had nothing but nice things to say about Hendrix and have zero history of "spreading rumors" puzzles me why you would flip out so much about my comments.
LOL...Where do you come with this stuff? It has absolutely nothing to do with the site looking bad. It has to do with you not saying bullsh!t rumors about a ND player. You keep acting as if this was a moderating thing. It isn't. I would have deleted it if it was. This is one Irish fan to another asking you not to say bullsh!t rumors about a ND kid.
It wasn't a BS rumor. I can't even believe that you would think I would purposely spread a rumor like this. I'm still trying to wrap my head around why you would even think that, and why you're continuing to blame me.
You honest to God believed you were saving a wild rumor from being spread by responding to my comments in the manner in which you did?
Never thought it would lead to wildfire. But as a ND fan, I can't stand it when people make sh!t up about out players. Is that a bad thing? Sue me. I'd do it to the next guy that spread a bullsh!t rumor about our player as well.
It wasn't a BS rumor. How many times am I going to have to say it before you believe it?
That's your opinion. I completely disagree. I didn't erase it, so stop trying to act as if I modded your post. I had a problem with your opening to the post, which you just made something up out of thin air.
So you had a problem with the beginning of my post? What about the other parts of it? I can't even believe that you're so upset and hung up about one sentence at the beginning of my post.
And OK, again, what proof is there that he might transfer? That's what I thought.
There is no proof. If you want to go ahead and say Hendrix MIGHT transfer because of reasons A, B, or C....I won't call you out for spreading false rumors. Why are you doing it to me? It seems so childish.
At first I thought it was kind of funny that you thought I was spreading lies about players, but now I'm kind of perplexed why you're still flying this Lindsey Lohan flag.
You took my comment the wrong way. I told you that was not what I meant, and you're still taking my comment the wrong way.
Is the hole you've dug really that deep?
We're not here to pass or fail you. If you don't like another poster asking you what proof you have that one of our players might transfer, then don't post bullsh!t rumors. If you can back it up, then have at it.
I don't have nor do I need proof. I'm backing up what I said which was pretty clear, and you're the one who isn't getting it.
I'm one of the thickest skinned members on here and I have no problem with someone debating topics with me and disagreeing with my opinion. I love talking about ND football, no matter what.
What I do have a problem with is someone perverting my comments and then refusing to admit that they took them the wrong way after I explained them more fully.
Didn't mod it, did I?
It's 90% to 10% people that call this place inviting vs. uninviting, if not more. That's a damn good ration, as there is no way on God's green earth that you are going to please everyone. I have the PMs to prove it. Think about that. Your post wasn't deleted, nor was it twisted. I took YOUR words, and asked you for proof, as a normal poster. If I wanted your thoughts deleted, I could have easily deleted them. That's not what this is about. You couldn't handle it me asking for some proof. That's a you issue, not a me issue. Think about that.
You asbolutely twisted my comment and completely overreacted. I know you're not going to admit it, but I have continuously made it clear that what you believe I was saying is not what I meant. It honestly seemed like you were in a bad mood and wanted to start a fight about something so stupid.
I don't know what else you want me to do or say. I'm not hiding anything, and I'm not spreading rumors. You can either choose to believe me or continue fighting an uphill battle and not believe me.
