Grunk not long for VT
- Thread starter BostonNit
- Start date
It shouldnt be a free for all every year. There needs to be a one transfer rule then sit out a year.
I don't disagree that there should be more rules but what happens if a kid transfers then there's a coaching change and they don't want him or he fits the scheme?
Not sure there's a good or easy solution honestly
Who cares how anyone played in a given week? The upside of Grunk was higher than Becht in performance and eligibility. Campbell ignored it and stuck with "his guy."
Campbell didn't ignore anything. Grunk had no interest in staying. None.
If he transfers away from a school that did want him, then he’s out of luck. Maybe they should put a little more thought and effort into where they’re at before they grab the next thing.
The courts will never agree to this as you know
The only way things change are if the school pays them directly and sign them for multi years but most programs want to be able to dump a kid as well
You haven't proven being correct except in your own mind.
Awww...buddy
LOL.. so you confirm you have nothing.....
Are you familiar with Warren Zevon's classic song "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner"?
Well, here's AI's version of "Loado The Insufferable Blowhard." I must admit, it's impressively on the mark.
(Verse 1)
Loado was a talker from the internet,
The greatest self-proclaimed expert that you ever met.
He had an opinion on things he didn't know,
And every comment section was his personal show.
Through Reddit threads and Twitter feeds, he’d argue all night long,
Convinced that everybody else was absolutely wrong.
(Chorus)
Loado, the insufferable blowhard!
Loado, the insufferable blowhard…
(Verse 2)
They went to a dinner party, down in Monterey,
The guests were trying desperately to edge their way away.
But Loado began to lecture on the history of wine,
"That vintage that you're drinking is a terrible design."
He talked about his crypto, and his master's degree,
And how he bought a timeshare by the Caribbean Sea.
(Chorus)
Loado, the insufferable blowhard!
Loado, the insufferable blowhard…
(Verse 3)
The host was getting angry, the night was getting late,
He had to stop this egomaniac before he cleaned his plate.
A quiet guest named Van Owen, who couldn't take no more,
Decided he would challenge Loado right on the dining floor.
He brought up quantum physics, a topic Loado despised,
But Loado just cleared his throat and looked remarkably surprised.
Van Owen caught him in a lie, a fabricated quote,
And right in front of everyone, he put it to a vote.
Loado's face turned bright magenta, his argument was dead,
The blowhard had been silenced, and his ego was in shreds!
(Chorus)
Loado, the insufferable blowhard!
The man who wouldn't shut his mouth, caught off his guard!
(Verse 4)
Now Loado is just a ghost who roams the digital space,
Typing out "Well, actually..." in every single place.
You can hear his keyboard clicking through the quiet night,
Desperately pretending that he's ultimately right.
In chatrooms and on forums, his spirit still survives,
Answering the questions that nobody asked in their lives.
(Outro)
Loado… Loado… the insufferable blowhard…
Keep your comments to yourself, Loado…
Mute the microphone, Loado…
Talk, talk, talk, talk, Loado…
Blowhard…
Loado…
Dear Lord you think too much about me
Were you not on the old board? You know I know...
Laugh hard. Not think hard. Here is the new hit tune "Loado Commodo" sung to the tune of Barry Manilow's hit song, "Copacabana."
Verse 1
His name was Loado, he is a showgirl,
He’s got a PowerPoint to slide and a lecture he must guide.
He’d talk for hours on any topic,
While everyone in the room would drop it.
And while he’s yapping, he’d strike a pose,
With a haughty smirk upon his nose,
He had a podcast, a half-baked plan,
And claimed he’s master of every span!
Chorus
At the Loado, Loado Commodo,
The loudest spot north of Toledo,
At the Loado, Loado Commodo,
Hot air and passion were always the fashion,
At the Loado... he is a showgirl!
Verse 2
His name was Loado, he is a showgirl,
He didn’t know it, but we’d groan when he would twirl.
He’d interrupt you with "Well, actually,"
And share his wisdom so factually.
He read an article just last night,
And now he swears that he’s always right.
He’s got a theory on quantum physics,
And unsolicited life statistics!
Bridge
Don't ask him a question, don't nod your head,
You’ll hear a thesis on what he read.
He’ll take the mic and he’ll steal the floor,
And talk until you can't take no more!
Chorus
At the Loado, Loado Commodo,
The loudest spot north of Toledo,
At the Loado, Loado Commodo,
Hot air and passion were always the fashion,
At the Loado... he is a showgirl!
The only ones who are not going to command big Free Agent $$$s are Campbell's flunkies..... i.e., Campbell recruits to ISU turned wildly overpaid Free Agents at PSU - were so lucky to be stuck with them [insert eyeroll]. As I've pointed out before, we are royally screwed - we're going to lose all of our best players [Franklin recruited holdovers] and be left with Campbell's wildly overpaid scrubs.
Of course all of these guys are going to want money but they're the top 24 to keep before we go into the portal. We can't afford to lose players like Rapp, Howard, Dixson, Zayas, etc and expect to make that up in the portal.
I'll make up some numbers: 24 players at an average of $500k = 12 million. The top kids might take a little more so let's say $15 million. Then we have to pay the 21 incoming recruits. I'll estimate that they'll cost us another $10 million. That probably leaves $10 million for the portal and the top few players are going to cost half that amount.
24 keepers $15 million
21 recruits $10 million
20 portal players $10 million ($3 million QB, $1 million WR, $1 million for 2 LBs, $1 million for a DT+Edge)
Franklins what? His best players went somewhere else or stayed. The ones that left, well minus grunk cause he wanted to stay, kinda, are getting killed in the pathetic acc. More losses coming soon!!
Seems like there is some smoke here. $4mm for Grunk? We've lost the plot folks.
There you go again reading other people’s minds. You truly are a legend in your own mind.
Are those experts a figment of your imagination? Sorry rhetorical question.
That’s what I like about you; almost never right but never in doubt. Did you get any gigs as a consultant who can identify sexual predators yet?
Best and most accurate thing I have ever seen on this board. Thanks for sharing.
AI is brilliant. I did another one. Are you familiar with Boz Scaggs' "Lido Shuffle"?
Well AI made it "Loado Shuffle". I'm saving it for the right time. I'm genuinely impressed with AI.
Again...why would I need to read someone's mind in this scenario. It's not disputable. Listen to those that know
Defend the pedophile all you want
Ignore the reality of what has happened regarding Grunk and what those that know have said
