The September Dam...When is it going to break?

[Ewekon]

If Precious is really going to wait until spring to commit somewhere then we need to hit on at least 3 of our big time targets like Bouk, Akok etc. so he feels good about winning for his likely 1 year in college. If chief's dam springs leaks and doesn't burst I think we are toast with the guy.

 

[HawkHusky]

Precious just got a UNC pick from Slater

So the dam is being reinforced...?

Soon there will go a million kilowatt dam. Keep butting that dam.

High hopes

Looks like a limp recruiting class.

I feel for anyone who takes anything on the boneyard as serious as you take this. Sheesh lighting up dude. It’s all fun. Every time one of you go on one of those annual “take cheif down” campaigns it makes cheif a bigger rockstar than he already is lol

Thats cold bro, misspelling Chief on purpose like that. Everyone else missed it, but I see it. Shaaaade.

James Bouknight
The four-star guard had a tremendous month of July on the travel circuit with the PSA Cardinals program and boosted his recruitment immensely after sitting out a large portion of the year due to an injury. He already visited Virginia Tech and will head to Miami this weekend, and the Hurricanes could be the dark horse. Indiana could have a say, but an official visit to UConn - a trip that will occur on Sept. 13 - could be all that the Huskies need to begin their 2019 class. A handful of others possible targets are not as far along with their recruitment, and Bouknight is the likely the closest to making a decision.

Chief can’t comment other than to say I am feeling good.

Chief feeling good. Smoking peace pipe since 4:20 this afternoon with occasional 20 minute breaks and a side of sacreds while watching various Charlie Sheen flicks and tv shows.

All very good signs.

The”i” and the “e” rule applies when they are consecutive letters. What school did you dudes go to? Chief has enough of basketball stuff going right now without discussing grammar.

It also doesn’t apply a bunch of times...casual rule.

I knew it was a mistake by Chief to even bring it up. I guess I deserve this headache?

Your fault for breaking the gag order.

This whole gag order thing blows. Hence the gag.

I was taught “-i before -e except after -c or when sounding like -a in neighbor or weigh”.

Well you gotta go with the full rule:

I before e,
except after c,
or when sounding like "a"
as in neighbor and weigh.

Stopping at the first line is more of a casual grammarian thing.

You must of had a good elememtary school system. Where Chief went to school, they never covered the “a” thing.

Just getting in now - a busy month.

But ya know what's weird...?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

It’s actually quite sad. It’s more like seeing someone with a mental illness start believing their own hallucinations.

You and @UChusky916 seem to be pretty much on the same page in your regard for Chief's persona, disconnected enough from your emotions to express your distaste by using "it" rather than "I" as the subject in the most critical sentences you write.

It's not for me to say whether IT is "sad" or "amazing" or "embarrassing," but I know I don't agree with your characterizations and don't like being told them as though they're anything other than your contrary opinions.

I'd feel differently if I were reading from either of you, "I'm amazed...," "I'm embarrassed...," or "I'm sad..." Such phrasing, of course, can leave one more personally exposed & emotionally vulnerable.

Perhaps if you started referring to yourself in the third person...

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Chief just might be the best online persona in the history of the internet. Just when you think you have seen maximum Chief, he raises the bar.

"Chief neither makes the bar higher nor lower. Chief goes wider, making it harder to go around him. Chief is his own dimension."

Sorry Chief. The correct phrasing should be, "You must have had" and not "You must of had". Helping keep Chief on top here is good for the mojo.

Sounds the same if using must’ve though.

My fourth grade teacher Miss Lavender use to say, "When in doubt, use 'musta.'"

Actually, that would be spelling.
