Donovan Clingan thread - already off topic and not worth reading unless you are CL82, his fans, or are at work or too drunk to do anything else

I agree.

Mine was a poor joke on the slapdash nature of your unedited writing. Not helpful.

I think we have common interest, desire, and bond that an OV scheduled for someone who has been to campus several times and lives less than an hour away is a big deal, and we want it to look good and go well. With heightened excitement comes the risk of all kinds of weirdness.

The goofiness that sometimes shows up in this space reveals and traverses the uncertainties between, "This is why we can't have nice things," vs. "This is how we warrant (return to) nice things." The latter is admittedly a big ask, as shown by the posts here.

My wish is for a good several days, with multiple visitors who arrive with good energy that grows more so during & in the aftermath of the visits that potentiate each other.

We're on a good-to-great path. Let's do it.

Of all the Boneyard shticks that have been around in the 15 years I've posted on the board, your grammar one quite possibly may be the worse.

I agree, feel bad for my post to be honest. I was in high school not too long ago and I can't imagine having the media and crazed fans constantly speculating about my life.

Just let the excitement of his potential commitment (and a few post-work cold ones) get the best of me. My bad.

You don’t apologize on the Boneyard. You double down. You triple down. You die on the hill defending a bad take. Anything but apologize!

Don't you mean "more worser" than others?

My reconsideration and attempted redirect away from an acknowledged poor joke seems to have failed in its intent.

I tend to think the kid and his father are smarter than you believe.

Visitors read a recruiting thread for up to two minutes the day it was posted. This one dropped to about 30 seconds after a few hours.

Im all for off topic stuff, especially in the off season. But recruiting threads should stay on topic, not turn into a conversation between a 1/2 dozen posters.

I think the world of Donavan and his dad. I like the kid's value and character. I think he is perfect for us, not just for his size and his skills, but also for his character. He is the perfect type of kid that we can build around and he will, no doubt be a fan favorite.

Perhaps posting his name with a poor attempt at humor isn't the smartest move in the world. But it is your world Tom, you do you.

It's kind of odd, isn't it? I suspect it is the only way he feels like he can contribute.

Thread title on point.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Curious what you find ironic about that?

he's talking about someone's grammar post being "the worse". Do I need to explain that? All in good humor. Not trying to make enemies here.

That's what's so funny here. Did you make that usage mistake on purpose? I think not.

It was unintentional. It's a message board. Who cares?

Irony would be if I was correcting his post as grammatically incorrect and made a mistake myself.

Not all yarders are kind to grammar police

No, I said his blowhard-ness (is that even a word??) is the worst schtick on here and made a grammar error in my post.

Now if I corrected him and made an error myself, that would be ironic.

Have you ever read Chief blowhards posts? Worst schtick on the Yard by far.

Sure thing waq off.

 

[Vancat]

Not even a contest as to whose schtick is the worst on the forum. Ooops, I probably just signaled a thread lock.

 

[Waquoit]

Ah, you choked

For the record - I did not change the title. Something happened above my paygrade. I must have somebody on ignore that said something because for the life of me I don't understand what has been objectionable to get a dad mad. We want to route for your son at State U. and are expressing those hopes. Crystal Balls and Matrim winks were welcome. (I thought)

That's what I said many pages ago before this thread got really weird.

 

[Fishy]

Whoever changed the title this thread should put it back. It kind of reads like a backhanded slap against Clingan.

The original title was dumb. This one is somehow worse.

Love how many likes the conspiracy theory post get tho.

if it were true tho it would make Hurley arguably the best recruiter of all time—mind controlling kids and their families into thinking they want to commit when they actually don’t ….either way I’m here for it

Some moderator trying to be funny. Except they’re not.

Why can't they just blame it on illegal payments like a normal message board? They had to come up with the most delusional theory possible and go all in on that instead. The Hurley controlled lugenpresse mindboning recruits until they have no choice but to play basketball for us?
