Sorry man. We all volunteer here. I live and work on a west coast time zone now and it gets crazy sometimes on a Friday of all things.
I have not even seen the last 7 pages. I’m on 2312 and it’s already on 2319. I hope they were reasonably civil.
We definitely have delusional fans too. That said, you guys change the rules every time it suits the situation. If not you, a number on your board. Like we’ll literally get clowned on there for something - like the transfer portal, NIL - whatever - and then when it’s you guys, it’s a different rule. I didn’t make up those examples up.
If we had hired Billy with that same staff and you guys hired our staff, we’d be getting hammered relentlessly for the staff level. He’s definitely more of a gamble yet the shots at Strong and Steele in these current roles is just odd.
And yeah, some stuff we say is crazy but some of the narratives on us are crazy. Like there’s no way Mario promised Citizen the starting job and I’m assuming QueJay got that from his buddy on the staff and it’s possible that Citizen said it or demanded it from Billy but Mario knows better than to do that. My guess is that we paid more in NIL plus whatever Kevin Smith and Mario as an OL guy did to help that recruitment.
And as for NIL, Ruiz is the most legit operator. He’s buying promotion for a business. Those collectives are just boosters flat out paying players. And really I don’t care how they do it. They should just be able to pay these kids but he’s not running a suspect NIL scam as has been said over there.
You guys benefited from under the table bags way more effectively than we did. Now you’re all ****ed that we can compete. I’ve read how broke and poor we are on 247 forever. It’s not remotely true. We’ve unfortunately had a cheap *** program run by a bunch of monkeys who look like they’re trying to **** a football like Blake James, Golden, Manny… we’ve always had money and people with money but the wrong mentality to compete with the massive programs. Now that paying is legal, and Mario came home, that’s changing.
