I love the way the BY has pivoted away from the Flagg drama. I am guessing not many regulars will be clicking on this thread but wanted to record my thoughts on the last few weeks for posterity and my own mental health. I am a relative newbie to the BY. Actually joined I think after the 2014 championship but did not really post much and that year was fairly busy. Youngest son was born in May and I had just sold my company and was settling into a corporate gig. The reason for the post is that this situation with Flagg and in general following progress on recruits is something I will avoid moving forward. It leaves you with a different feeling than when we don’t play well. Talking about real things like why we could not win in January can be upsetting. But this thing with losing top recruits feels more like your girlfriend breaking up with you. Moving forward I will expend my BY energy complaining or giving kudos to our real players. Not dreaming about recruits that never choose us. Actually in the end this is probably better for us. Let’s keep our identity as the little engine that could. But I am not going to wish Dook well. I hope they miss the ncaa tourney this year and next and Scheyer turns out to not be the next Coach K. Don’t get me wrong I will read about progress in recruiting and analysis of actual commits. But this inside trader stuff on scoops that don’t exist that is fools gold or clickbait in our digital reality. No value.
