Recruiting nuggets

I'll take Evin Groves as well. From what I can remember, I seem to recall him running for twice as many yards as Lex did when they went head to head. Evin also has three years left, got stronger as the season went on (whereas Lex faded late in the season), and Evin is a much better person without the obnoxious meddling father.

And no, most of us wouldn't want a stripper for a girlfriend. In fact, most of us wouldn't touch a stripper with a ten foot pole. Who in their right mind wants hundreds of drunk guys ogling their butt-naked girlfriend every night of the week? Yuck, no thanks.

I had a stripper friend as a certain special type of friend, that worked out okay.

Why does UM need Bradshaw? Is Hilliard coming out early? Will he be picked ahead of Reggie Bush? The Cats faced better backs against PSU, Cal Poly and the kid from NDSU.

Aw, c'mon guys; quit bashing Lex...

It's not his fault he gets migraines, or that the fields aren't always perfect, or that Wash/quist never perfected the shovel pass or that Phenicie never realized he had the best back in the Big Sky, or that griz fans booed him, etc etc etc (ad nauseum).

Sorry pal, but Lex hasn't done anything to distinguish himself from the other top backs in the conference. The way he looked as a freshman, I was getting ready to watch a monster dominate the 'Sky for the next three years. It hasn't happened, and instead of being head and shoulders above the rest of the BSC tailbacks, he is merely just another one to watch out for. Not to mention the fact that he seems to wilt at the end of every season.

So, yeah, I'd take Groves as well, since he's much more versitile and younger than Lex. I do think Lex would make a fantastic change-of-pace guy to come in and slow things down when Groves needs a breather.

Now, Scats, I know you'll feel the need to come back and prove how clever you are with another one of your carefully culled bon mots, but I assure you that it is not necessary. We've heard all that you have to say about 1,000,000 times over. And, quite frankly, your smack lines weren't funny when we heard someone else say them first, let alone after seeing you repeat them over and over, again.

Thats all my kittie ass has to say, so I'll go back to watching my "Travis Kool-Aid beats the friz" marathon.

I never called him kool aid and you are a dork if you think groves is that good. As I remember all you kittie fans never even heard of him before mid season. Hes average at best- no more no less.

As I recall, most of us were pretty high on him dating all the way back to Spring scrimmage in Great Falls. Don't put words in our mouths just because it helps your argument.

This is a stupid argument that none of us should be involved in - are we that bored?

Actually, I've known of Groves since he signed with us. I've even seen the highlite tape that initially brought him to the attention of our coaches. Most fans I know were talking during the preseason about how promising he was looking, and by mid season we were all begging for him to start. You just don't know what you're talking about in this case.

If you were to put Lex and Groves on the same field, Groves would have the biggest impact on the game BY FAR. Oh wait, that already happened.

Edit* - Yes Celtic, I'm that bored! It's either this or the new Lulay v Dickenson argument I started in that other thread.

You are right that he ran for twice as many yards- because he had twice as many carries. Lex 19-75 Erin 35-143.

The coaches screwed up all year by not giving Lex the ball. (IE Cal Poly)

BTW are you a chick BozoneCat??? Again if the best shot you have at Lex is his girlfriend- you are lame...

Well, maybe Evin got twice as many carries because he was effective enough to get first downs with his running, which kept drives alive and ran the clock. Lex got half of those 75 yards on one carry - he was completely ineffective for the vast majority of the Cat-friz game. Even in the second half when the griz absolutely knew Evin was going to be carrying the ball, they couldn't stop him. I stand by my opinion that I'll take Evin over Lex every day of the week. I'll also take our offensive line, quarterbacks, tight ends, receivers, and coaches.

And the best comeback you have is to call someone a chick?!!?! LOL

and again, if the best smack that you guys have is our field, and stadium, and scoreboard, and parking lots, and how bad we USED to be, than i think we are doing alright too.

When I first posted this information that was forwarded to me, it was purely in the context of adding some interesting information relating to the workings of recruiting at MSU. It was not intended to cause any pain to anyone on a personal level (which was naive on my part).

After reflecting on things, I would not have posted this information if I had it to do all over again, for a couple reasons.

1. What I posted was not something that I wrote, but rather the words that somebody else wrote (as everyone who read the original post knows). As such, I allowed myself no control over the tone or content of what was included. Anytime something is written down, biases and tone can be written into or read from the written word that do not accurately reflect what was actually said by the person being referenced. Judging by the reactions to this post, I think this is particularly true in this instance.

2. If information is meant to be public, it will become public through the proper channels. My posts on this board are not proper channels.

For anyone to whom this post caused any undue pain or stress, I sincerely apologize. I should not have posted it, and I will be much more careful about this sort of thing in the future.

I am wondering why you feel the need to apologize for anything that you posted in this thread. You made clear that this was information that was forwarded to you. I see nothing wrong at all with what was forwarded anyhow, so I'm guessing this entire lame 'controversy' is merely a case of Grizzly fans having to become hypocrites to endorse the actions of the current staff.

I apologize for nothing in this post. BAC shouldn't have to apologize for anything either.

Projection is a sign of desperation. Griz fans seems to thrive on it these days.

Yes according to me, I find it amusing that the majoritity of people reading this forum will go along with whatever Kramer says! How dare anyone speak evil the of the King. He offered each of the three players, now that he didn't get them he speaks ill will of each! Right!
