I haven't met many 17-18 year old people who couldn't be swayed by the right amount of ********, ours or theirs. They do a great job of flipping and celebrate it like they have won a championship of some kind.

I tend to take a top level view of this process. I like the fact that we are in the conversation with "star" players when we haven't been in the past. I also like the fact that we can take no name players and put them in the NFL. I think it is going to take a combination of both for us to get lightning in a bottle and it is still a work in progress.

Lastly, the whole recruiting thing hasn't resonated with me since I experienced the JWS 5 star, can't miss class that blew apart after they got here.

But what about the schools that greyshirt a player? Pull their offer after.....

...someone better shows up? Children flipping committments happens all the time. If Oh Meh has as bad a season as I think they're going to have, many of their players will flip right back.

It has to piss them off tha this sort of thing doesn't really love the needle anymore among our fan base. Flipped a kid? Oh well, remeber us beating your *** on Thanksgiving?

Only because we've been winning the Egg Bowls. If we lost a couple in a row people would revert back to freaking out.

Say MSU wins this year. 5 of 6. Seriously, how long will they keep crowing about recruiting and finishing 11th in the sec?

Seriously. How many years would it take for them to stop? It really is ridiculous and Im glad state fans dont give a **** and laugh about it now.

Kinda like my Bassett Hound.

Anyone who shows up at house and pays him attention, he'll follow them anywhere. Even though I feed him him everyday and provide a nice couch for him to plop his fat dumbass on.
