I don't know about you all, but I'm terribly excited to find out what the big news is supposed to be. Any intel on when its supposed to happen?
This list is completely arbitrary and not a genuine analysis of the relative merits of state fossils.

Sam Webb-
Sam Webb-
said to look for a tweet from Ferns around 2 or 3 I believe. He hinted that it has to do with Ferns recruiting hard for this class. Maybe a visit set up by a stud, hard to imagine that Ferns would be announing a commitment......
I would love to see Damon Webb has de-committed!

Why would-

Michael Ferns, a HS JR, be the one to announce that facilites are being updated? That would be great. Facilities are great recruiting tools. However, it would be odd for Ferns to be the one to make this kind of announcement.

Seriously.
Seriously.
We can't start a thread just because a recruit or commit says "something big is going to happen."
Maybe mid-terms are coming out. Maybe another kid is coming on "super visit weekend," Maybe mom made pizza rolls, Maybe the McRib is coming back for a month.
Let's just wait until there's actually something more than a tweet before we start making "watch" threads.

It's not just Ferns who
It's not just Ferns who tweeted this. Some people like the speculation and the anticipation of such news. It's the off-season so get over it and maybe not read it. No need to comment on what you approve or disapprove of...
February 15th, 2013 at 11:13 AM |
Yeah....
Yeah....
...because never voicing disapproval makes perfect sense on a blog site that is largely self policed in regards to what type of content is tolerable.
FTR, the OP does not bother me, but telling people not to comment if they don't like a topic is an over used (and not well thought out) response.
If people disagree with the response, moderation will provide adequate warning.
All right Lemmings. Bring the heat.

Moderation will probably provide too much warning

It could be worse, like...oh I don't know. Starting a thread about the pope stepping down, locking the thread from all comments before anyone could comment, and saying "i'm just trying to get ahead of the inevitable" and then when it gets downvoted to hell removing the upvote/downvote function from it.
Just saying.

Some stuff needs to be corrected here...
- That thread was started after one had already gone 170+ comments and needed to get taken down. What the Pope does has virtually no bearing on the purpose of the site, and stuff got way out of hand in the first thread. BiSB and his opinions on MGoBoard having nice things may never be more applicable than the first OP and many of the comments.
- I did not (and cannot) disable any user functionality. Here's a link if you would like to neg the post, since there seems to be some confusion on your end.

I thought I was on the site the whole day when your second post (which I thought was the first) popped up. Apparently it got bumped to the second page before I started lurking.
All I saw was your second post and thought you tried to hedge a bad post from ever popping up on a really off topic subject.
I now look like an ass, but I do apologize.

That McDonald's made every MdRib they sell back in the 80's and they have to ration them out so they can only bring them "back" for short periods at a time. So I hope you like you "meat" extra aged because each McRib has about 30 years of aging on it.

The McRib's appearance is
The McRib's appearance is
The McRib's appearance is based entirely on the prices of pork in the U.S. I'm not sure of the exact number, but when pork is sufficiently cheap, the McRib makes a comeback and when prices rise again, it is taken off the menu. Simple, really, and fascinating.
Quite the McRib lover myself.
