JP made another run at Terry Brands. Shot down again.

I think Bobby Douglas is going to be involved with the program again.

Did you get a new source or are you just throwing crap out there like before?

I'll stick with Kurt Angle, Marty Jannetty and the Big Boss Man...

I heard the same.

But then someone else told me it WON'T be Jackson.

Final prediction (I swear): Jackson

I never throw crap out in the sense that I'm making things up. It may be info that turns out to be crap but they are from connected people that I trust.

For instance, I heard on Saturday that it was Heskett with an announcement within a day or two. I think that person took an interview to mean he would be the hire. That was clearly not the case.

So apparently they're not all that connected...are you 0 for 2 or 0 for 3 now?

So what info do you have?

We're going to get NCAA sanctions for just joking about giving Brackins a contract for anything...

Well, I'd like that better than alot of other "news" that happens here.

I for one appreciate SPOONER's efforts. I don't know him from anyone I pass on the street - he may be some jerk yanking our chains with all this, but I don't think he is.

As it is, he and one or two others seem to have the only insight there is. And I give them credit for putting a name out there, right or wrong, and not the the congratulatory "pat oneself on the back" posting of "oh, I got good news today, but can't tell you what it is" we see so often.

Has marty talked to his dentist?

**CycoCyclone** · 04-30-2009, 02:28 PM

This is a fan message board, we'd be bored without idle chitchat and rumors.

I'm about 33 miles from the Jacobsen building, so I appreciate words on the wind.

I agree with you, DaddyMac -- except for one thing.

I agree Spooner has all the best intentions in the world of trying to keep us all informed first. Unfortunately for Spooner, some of his posts concerning hires have not been entirely accurate for one reason or another.

Because of that, many may feel Spooner doesn't quite have the "inside" sources to be a solid poster in this matter -- sort of like the boy who cried wolf.

I'm like you. I think Spooner's heart is in the right place, but it may have been better for him had he waited and confirmed a couple of more things before posting.

Spooner's biggest asset is his enthusiasm -- it can also be one of Spooner's biggest liabilities.
