Hahaha. And alumnus Gene Hackman tried to murder Superman.

I forgot about that one. He also assaulted that kid at his previous coaching stop.

I love my Cyclones but if Dude picks up the Xavier hat. I am going to Laugh my ass off.

I don't think I'd go that far. We still want to come in first, right?

Jerry Meyer just went from foggy to ISU.

Crystal balls mean something now?

 

[rdtindsm]

the fact that so many people seem to have a vested interest scares me re. integrety of process

Saw this thread had 10+ new pages since the noon hour and knew something either very good or very bad was happening. Now I've gone from behind to severely behind with work!

Okay, I missed following THT thing since yesterday. Just checked the CBs flipped to Iowa State. Is this real!

Yep! And almost all the crystal balls from 10/26 on are ISU! Most of Illinois ones are from few days ago!

Crystal balls mean something now?

Yes.

They mean more and more the closer u get to commitment

 

[Beyerball]

Crystal balls mean something now?

When they start flipping hours prior to the decision u bet they do...

Looking at the CBs shows the level of uncertainty. All but two CBs have changed/cast in last four days. The oldest is an ISU from 10/05/17 and the GT guy who still has GT in his prediction (even though it was on 10/1017). Twelve have been changed today already, with most swinging back to ISU.

Phenomenal movement today.

I went away from my computer for an hour and a half and all hell broke loose.

Why don't someone enlighten the rest of us.....just how much calling, texting, face timing, etc. is going on right now between THT and the coaches of the three schools? Or is the protocol to leave the dude in peace leading up to the announcement?

 

[CyTwins]

Just an FYI I really like Walking Buckets

I bet Mack and Prohm gave him a call, or shot him a text at least. But I think most coaches know that you can only change a kids mind so much from one more discussion.

I know. Apparently Williams went on vacation.

Last night MIF and Ayo were cool with him coming to Illinois but changed their mind this morning right. You have to understand how this sounds less that believable right? You guys have been great over here so I'm not trying to be a jerk but cmon you can't really believe all that can you?

And honestly you can't believe that it could be true if he selects ISU today? Have you ever been lied to? Gotten cold feet?

Seems extremely reasonable that the MIF group said it was fine until THT said he was actually interested in UI and then when it was put-up-or-shut-up time MIF balked on their previous statements. Literally happens thousands of times a day, every day in sports, politics, etc.

Just because he ends up selecting ISU does not mean he was always going that way.

 

[Cydkar]

Yes.

I thought the smiley face indicated something.
