Yes it did need its own thread. It"s a new topic and I probably would never have seen this mentioned if I had to read through pages and pages where it's mentioned on page 11, or page 23 or whatever in an existing thread. If you don't like NYSOM's threads than just ignore him.
He performs a useful service by giving us notification of a new development.
The Mods are not helping by merging threads and burying new news.
I think some just don't like NY's shtick which tells me they are rigid, insecure and feel threatened somehow by it. I find it a joke and just play along.
I think Mods are not performing a service by burying news updates just because some get annoyed by this guy's oddball persona. Just let it roll down your back.
I'm glad I saw a new thread, because I'm very very interested in this news about Troy Walters. (I might not have seen it if I had to read through another thread and maybe stumbled upon it. ) While I don't know Troy or his father, Trent, personally, I used to know his extended family, his cousin was a colleague of mine, and I had followed Troy's recruitment from A&M Consolidated HS in College Station to Stanford and then his college and pro career.
Comes from a very athletic family and a very smart family with high academic achievement.
