Can't we just get the normal "gut feeling".
December 18th, 2009 at 12:34 PM ^
I should have explained "sunny sider" more specifically than "it's usually a good sign."
Sunny sider means "it's usually a good sign" that King Beaver feels pretty confident about the possibility of UM maybe having a chance to be in the running to get a commitment from parker.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:41 PM ^
Or is that your somewhat mocking gloss on it? If "sunny sider" actually means that it might be a good sign of his confidence in a possibility of maybe having a chance, that's really really amazing.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:47 PM ^
The only words I see here are:
..pretty confident
..possibility..
maybe..
chance to be in the running..
The more words you used, the less and less confident/excited I got.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:50 PM ^
I thought it was funny.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:22 PM ^
you also thought that your joke yesterday was funny...
December 18th, 2009 at 1:47 PM ^
That was the point; I was making light of that thread. Two posters whiffed on his sarcasm, and got multi-posbanged. I was just letting him know that even though the WLA left, there are still a (diminishing?) few people left who aren't excessively literal or uptight. Neg away if you feel like spending the time.
December 18th, 2009 at 2:28 PM ^
Did they go to Middle Earth or something?
December 18th, 2009 at 1:31 PM ^
an 85% chance that UM will have a 50% chance of being in the running for a verbal from Parker.
I guess I'm saying that we HAVE A CHANCE!
December 18th, 2009 at 4:15 PM ^
Nothing personal at all, but that was less concrete than jello. I feel pretty confident about the possibility of having a chance to be in the running to get a supermodel if I actually would ever meet one. That, however, is extraordinarily unlikely.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:40 PM ^
Thanks for explaining it though. Here, we speak on gut feelings.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:46 PM ^
Now don't be guilty of Ugly Wolverine Syndrome (UWS)--just learn to be bilingual so you know what I'm talking about when I relay something King Beaver says.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:30 PM ^
I just thought the terminology of King Beaver was a tad odd and rather funny.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:38 PM ^
a sunny sider sounds far too much like "happy ending" if you know what I mean....
All very promising, but what about his PAD LEVEL?
December 18th, 2009 at 1:22 PM ^
What I want to know is how flexible his hips are.
December 18th, 2009 at 2:21 PM ^
you so nasty.
December 18th, 2009 at 4:29 PM ^
let me just say, i LOVE your new avatar.
December 19th, 2009 at 12:50 AM ^
...but not for the reasons you think
December 18th, 2009 at 12:36 PM ^
Man, so much for needing more DB's.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:40 PM ^
Can haz DBs.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:40 PM ^
Recipe to celebrate:
Add one part Sean Parker
Add one part Josh Furman
Don't take any of the key pieces already in play (e.g., DG, Marvin, etc.) out
Get ready for a decent 2010 season, followed by a dynasty beginning in 2011.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:43 PM ^
taking paid subscription info and putting it here... it's one thing if it's in a headline thats obvious like "DID UM GET NEW COMMIT???" above a picture of Richard Ash, but it's another to do this
December 18th, 2009 at 12:51 PM ^
It is one thing to post a tidbit of information from a paysite; it is another to lift entire articles/sections from said paysite.
This is the former, and I don't see anything wrong with it - this gets done all the time. Now if SM/KoB had copy/pasted the entire post then it might be a different story.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:51 PM ^
Dadgum double post.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:49 PM ^
Sean Parker would instantly be my most favoritest recruit in this class if he committed.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:56 PM ^
Right behind Vinopal.
I'm kidding. Don't spaz please.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:01 PM ^
Why Parker out of curiosity?
December 18th, 2009 at 1:33 PM ^
Gardner??
December 18th, 2009 at 12:52 PM ^
Josh at Rivals posted basically the same thing as Beaver last night.
(Except Josh worded it, you know, like an adult.)
December 18th, 2009 at 1:07 PM ^
Hey TOB,
I was just wondering where you see that?
I am seeing a rumor that we may have made some progress with Mike Thornton... I haven't seen anything on Parker.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:15 PM ^
The Parker tidbit on Rivals? It was on their premium message board...if you can read it, skim it for Josh's "addendum to ITF Re: Sean Parker" topic. He posted it around 8:00 last night.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:26 PM ^
Yea, thanks that's the one. Man that was buried deep. (That's what she said). 9 pages back.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:30 PM ^
There is no one on the planet who abuses the English language more than Tom Beaver.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:42 PM ^
I believe they are called "Beaverisms".
December 18th, 2009 at 1:57 PM ^
NO SUGARCOAT
December 18th, 2009 at 2:47 PM ^
I'm finals wasted, please excuse my lack of intelligence.
December 18th, 2009 at 2:42 PM ^
More than Yogi Berra? I've got to see this......
December 18th, 2009 at 7:56 PM ^
you must know someone.
December 18th, 2009 at 12:56 PM ^
Does he plan to enroll early? Is this why moving the date up is a good sign?
December 18th, 2009 at 1:40 PM ^
Unless he has already enrolled and the receiving team knows, he's not enrolling early. Classes here start the 6th so that'd be a pretty tight schedule
December 18th, 2009 at 1:03 PM ^
but DAMN it would be sweet to land Parker! Seriously, it would make this one of my favorite recruiting classes ever (assuming everything else unfolds as it should).
Quite a turn around considering my feelings early on during the recruiting process this year.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:17 PM ^
It is a long and grueling marathon. You've got to be able to make it to the end or else you end up having a race named after you!
December 18th, 2009 at 1:19 PM ^
When I get the gut feeling from Sam I'll feel confident.
December 18th, 2009 at 1:27 PM ^
But does he have a uniquename yet?
December 18th, 2009 at 2:16 PM ^
I have a uniquename, can you guess what it is? No seriously, that's really my uniquename.
December 18th, 2009 at 2:33 PM ^
Hi Josh.
December 18th, 2009 at 2:41 PM ^
Andrew?
December 18th, 2009 at 5:57 PM ^
An MGoReunion!
December 18th, 2009 at 6:17 PM ^
+1 for directory stalking.
December 18th, 2009 at 11:29 PM ^
+1 for the correct answer.
