Exactly, this needs to be about Iowa State. Paul should have never said anything about the situation in his Daily Brown Bag Blog and Jeremy, you shouldn't have posted stuff about it in your blog. Any tension between fans' sources of Cyclone info only divides the fan base. Believe it or not, Jeremy, yes it does. I appreciate what you do here. You've probably noticed that I'm a pretty loyal visitor to this site. I was the fourth one to register and I check this site like 20 times a day, at least. I'm a 21 year old ISU student and I also subscribe to both CN and CR.
Paul does awesome work. He can't post all the good stuff really fast sometimes because yeah, he's at a camp covering a kid that might not be D-1 material. Why? Because he's covering ISU recruiting thoroughly and people want to know. He's thorough, professional, and does a great job updating ISU's/Rivals recruiting database. Rivals recruiting service is better than Scount, IMO. Whoever says Paul isn't a f*cking through and through Cyclone simply doesn't know the guy or anything about his site. He's a good guy and wants whats best for ISU. And yeah, he wants to make a living as well, being a businessman covering what he loves the most.
Chris does a great job at CN. I bought a membership over there because of him. He's my age and I like the work he and Brent are doing. It's awesome to have a couple places to go for "insider" Cyclone info, whether I have to pay for it or not. I'll pay whatever I need to, I just want Cyclone info because I'm the biggest Cyclone fan I ever know, I'm obsessed, I'm passionate, and I'm proud to be a 'Clone. I will be my whole life. Thus the nickname ;-)
Again, Jeremy, you do AWESOME work here. The fact that you do this on your free time is...well, awesome lol. Your site is well put together. And the name, Cyclone Fanatic, it's brilliant!
Paul Clark needs to let it go and apologize to Jeremy and call for a truce of some kind. Jeremy, you need to do the same, IMHO. Why? Why would that be good for ISU? Because we don't need to be divided. We can't be divided. It'll slow down the progess that we need to be making right now. You all are grown men, do what you gotta do to avoid this CRAP between the two websites. I don't know what has to be done, I'm a 21 year ISU student that certainly isn't an expert on this sort of stuff. But I know one thing; I'm a great ISU fan, I love ISU, I love ISU athletics, it's a part of me, it really is. I check all 3 sites constantly because I crave news about something I'm passionate about.
Jeremy, not everyone is going to appreciate what you do here. Some are going to get defensive in Paul's honor. They like him and respect what he does, and so do I, and that's fine. You don't need to put up a post that says how pissed you are because his posters say bad stuff about you on his site and he doesn't stop them. Well, I don't know if you noticed, but many posters on here are saying the same sh*t about Paul, and you haven't stopped them.
Bottom line, IN MY OPINION, both of you are wrong, and for the fans sake, you guys need to get it straightened up NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES. That's great that you're endorsing CN now, but don't keep telling us that Paul was being a **** and that you won't have anything do to with Rivals stuff. We don't need to hear it. Paul needs to do the same thing. He needs to stop saying stupid shi*t on his site that offends you or regular posters here or CN.
CN and CR need to at least be able to respectfully coexist because it will be better for all of us. As for people that need to keep rehashing that this site rules and CR sucks, I'm sorry I don't get it. CN doesn't suck either. They all rule. They are all good in their unique ways. If this is your favorite of the 3, then great! More power to you. But believe it or not, the other 2 are pretty good as well. I'm guessing since you all are reading this, you're passionate about ISU info too, maybe just as much if not more than me! (which may be impossible lol) It's all good!!
So can't we all just get along? YES, IMO, YES! GIT ER DUN!
