I just wrote that down and plan to put it in my wallet for a reminder.

If I’m out to dinner with a group of friends, and somebody offers to pay for the check, I immediately reach for my wallet. Inside is a note that says, “Say thanks!”

Actually, I just printed it out in big letters. It fits the length of my wallet to a "T".

I have a friend who lives by these words and he's still depressed all the time? I on the other hand like to drink the kool-aid, but this winter is killing me!!

Spring practice can't get here soon enough!!!

Thank you Mitch Hedberg.

There never was such a thing as a commitment. It's a made up thing by recruiting services.

The important thing, in this whole mess, is where Sedrick wants to go. If he wants to go to A&M, let him go to A&M. If he wants to come here, I don't see how in the hell his mom can force him to go to A&M. He's an adult and should be allowed to make up his own mind. LOI or school be damned, what's right for Sedrick should be the main concern, not what's right for our program or their program or Sedrick's mom or Sedrick's dad.

I know I'd love to have him here, but in the end, it's his decision.

I hope that he does come to ISU, because I can't wait to "boo" the hell out of his mother if she ever makes an appearance...

Yeah, that'll help.

Very good, my thoughts exactly!

Oh come on. There's no reason to boo his mom. She's (hopefully) just doing what she thinks is right for the guy. We may disagree about that, but there's no reason to stoop to that. I'm sure she's a very important person to Sedrick as well. How would you feel if your parents were booed during your game by your own fans?

So is he a Cyclone or not?

AWOL2000 · 02-14-2008, 04:21 PM

Screw it. Just give me a beer and a mini fieldgoal post to kick the empties through and I'm happy.

Completely unnecessary post and a very immature response to the situation.

That's right. We don't need to sound like fans to the east. We can be a lot better than that.

I have a friend that said to me just a couple of years ago in a tough time: "Things like this can do one of two things: They can make you bitter, or they can make you better. We can make a choice."

If he moves on, it seems sad, but it's going to be OK. If he comes here, treat his mom with class like this never happened.
We'll teach her to love ISU as much as we do.

Some of the comments on the Aggie board in regard to ISU are very low. I lose a lot of respect for their fanbase.

from the administration guidlines put out by the NLI office:
http://www.national-letter.org/documents/AdminGuide.pdf

"A prospect’s parent/legal guardian must cosign the NLI with the prospect if he or she has not reached the age of 21. Falsification of a signature or a signature by a party other than the prospect and the prospect’s parent/legal guardian may result in a prospect forfeiting the first year of eligibility at any NLI participating institution."

For Sedrick's sake, I hope this clause doesn't come in to play. If the first LOI signed by his father is deemed to be a falsification than he will likely loose a year of eligibility - and he might anyway if the NC double A-holes think either LOI was falsified.
