Blake Purchase Announcing 09-06
- Thread starter Thomasrickj
- Start date
Sometimes a guy wants to follow family, sometimes they want to blaze their own trail.
We have to take that into consideration too, he may not have wanted to follow his brother here and be compared to him always. To go somewhere and make his own name.
It sucks but, you have to let it be what it is.

Bottom line is it all came down to $. Blake was more of a priority for ISU than Oregon. No different than R Mason Thomas ending up at OU.
Should have known he was going west when he picked the late time of the day to announce.
To jump in here, currently we have just over 700 donors to We Will. We’re grinding like heck to get the word out but it’s going to take a group effort in the short term if we want to be in a similar playing field as like-minded institutions. Want to be transparent but that’s where we are at.
A teenager decided not to come to your school, it will be okay.
At some point ISU needs to get more of these recruits. Coming in 6th 7th in the big 12 isn't going to get ISU where ISU fans want them.
More wins would be fun but are there fans not OK with having this many winning conference records? Consecutively?
Oregon is a top 10 football brand with elite facilities, Nike backing and a history of putting guys in the NFL. But sure, it was the money. Get a grip people.
Difference is they also have 6 d lineman in that class, but I guess if he wants to bet on himself all the more props.
I only did 25 dollars, so I know mine is low. Haven't donated since it started. might need to get on that
Late to thread, but it would have been obvious he was going to a west coast school with a late 8:00 pm central time zone announcement. 6:00 pacific time makes more sense to make that announcement.
I mean 7 PM MST makes sense considering he probably has practice after school.
Sayonara.
May he ride the bench continually.

Unless I win Powerball, and maybe even if I do, ISU is never going to be able to outspend Oregon/Nike/Phil Knight. IF $ is a deciding factor - and we don’t really know that it was here - the good guys aren’t going to win.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that it was this way BEFORE NIL, too, and the last 5(?) classes have been pretty good. It’s going to be ok.
