SF Vance Jackson (Signed LOI on 11/11)

[WhereistheDove?]

Ollie could do some really fun things moving him around between the 3 and as a stretch 4 in a small-ball lineup.

Trying to figure out the best descriptor for your statement. Irony? The pot calling the kettle...? The Absolut morally superior police? The most politically correct politically correct? The ultimate holier than thou? The final authority of righteous indignation?

I love cliches especially when they are used to attack perceived cliches! I'm putting out choices but I think I'm going with the Absolut morally superior police cause I can drink to the absurdity of the dismissive.

As usual I don't know what the hell you are talking about Fleud, but the point of the post is that there is really no need for someone to come in and scold HuskyNation like he's a child. The fact that someone has to take multiple sentences to explain that this is a "special moment for Vance and is all about him and not us" is absurd to me. Especially when Vance went ahead and announced exactly when he will be declaring his decision less than an hour after HuskyNation was saying he wish he'd do that exact same thing. It just comes off as condescending and is frankly unnecessary since it presents nothing that everyone didn't already know.

Love this love this love this and in twenty minutes will still love this! The laptop reference (a little self dig?)!
The creating of lyrics in this thread as good as anything in the lyrics thread! The overview of this motley crew. The highlights of an established program!

Do you have a musical arrangement to go with this? Cause there should be one.

He never misses a 3 pointer

I was thinking about fleudy's post on him being a better shooter than 'Shad. I mean from what I saw 'Shad never missed a 3 pointer ever before reaching college, just like Vance.

, everybody else dropped it hours ago so why can't you?

Quick! Boneyard dreamteam start reading too much into this tweet and tell us what you think it means (but probably doesn't mean).

 

[Durks07]

I have to hand it to him, he is really good at twitter.

 

[Yonick]

Any know what time he'll announce on Friday?

CA being 3 hours behind EST, should he announce at 9PM PST most of us on the east coast would be sound asleep at midnight.

My guess is he'll tweet some kind of teaser shortly before the actual announcement on Friday itself.

 

[Huskyforlife]

He took that picture in California. Cal bound

 

[Dove]

PA announcer at Gampel on Friday night: "Ladies and gentleman...before we introduce our Huskies...please welcome....from Napa, California...Mr. Vance Jackson with this announcement!!"

 

[WhereistheDove?]

He's hiding his face due to embarrassment of the program he'll be playing for over the next four years... Cal-bound.

And now a live feed from Mark Emmert!

"You're banned".

 

[upstater]

Uh, sounds like he's struggling with his decision?

Upon announcing he will be carted away without discussion. Driven to Bradley via volunteer Uber dude.

 

[Yankees32123]

What else does it mean?

 

[UConn990411]

No, that's not really what he's saying.

It's painful watching this board try to analyze social media.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

I think he's trying to either emulate the Jeremy Lamb Shake or KO's championship locker room dance. ... we're in for sure.

clearly struck a nerve with you, if you'd open your eyes you would see that Fleud brought it up, and I was simply answering him.

 

[UChusky916]

Let me clear this up for everyone...

He's clearly hiding his eyes and blocking to the left side of the pic. Left side = left coast = Cal. So he's blocking out Cal. Therefore, a clear UConn lock.

On second thought... he's blocking to HIS right even though it's OUR left... so... he's blocking UConn. Clear Cal lock now. Sorry to get hopes up.

Trust me, I have a psych degree.

Not to worry. I don't understand myself half the time and the other half the time I wish I didn't. I agree with you HuskyNation received a disproportionate response relative to what he wrote. I was totally impressed with the way he handled it. I didn't realize you were focused on defending him and were ticked at people who were over reactive. My misunderstanding. Glad you took the time to respond to me.

We'd trust you more if you worked at a car wash!
