Aaron Burbridge update?

Submitted by sheepman on

All right, I know I am not supposed to do this, but there is a headline on Rivals that says they have an Aaron Burbridge update. Can anyone give me a non-rule breaking synopsis of this?

The reason that was posted was because there was a rumor being spread by the mods at the MSU rivals site saying that he was close to a decision.  The post was really for the users of the Michigan Rivals website that had been talking about it on their board, saying those rumors were incorrect.  Furthermore it does say that he's really coming along with getting his grades in order so there's hope for him.  Which is actually HUGE.  Not a lame update at all.

Although I like information too, the way people love to create posts around here, if there's information worth knowing you probably don't have to ask for it.  If you need to ask, it means no one is willing to share the premiun info or there's nothing to know. 

I'm not bashing you for starting the thread, just predicting that it won't be fruitful.

I'll tutor this fella. I can show him all about my patented method of hitting on terrible looking smart girls who allow you to miss class by giving you their notes. I get to stay in my dorm and play Railroad Tycoon, and they get a nice self-esteem boost. Everybody wins.

My housemates and I played that game back in school.  The first half of the game was always awesome (acquiring routes, expanding your network), but I found the 2nd half really boring, as the game was usually decided by that point, and all you do is roll dice and move where you are directed.  And, since the game took hours to play, it was a fair amount of boredom.

It's being taken as a given over there that there's an issue other than grades. It sounds behavioral but none of the contributors over there are saying anything specific.

I am severely uncomfortable watching people here and on other boards talking about a 17 year old's classwork, his ACT scores, his "disciplinary record." Frankly, it's none of our business, the young man is entitled to his privacy, and it doesn't take much for the Internet to turn rumors and lies into gospel (as we repeatedly learn with members of the football team).

Leave Burbridge alone. Just because Rivals wrote something doesn't mean this board needs to expand on it.
