A Hire Has Been Made!!!

[Mike_Marquette]

...dad? Who taught you to use a computer?

Sorry,  couldn't resist. No disrespect intended.

Son, I'll have you know that I know how to operate a Tandy 1000 and an Apple II, so saves your jokes for someone else.

Just saw Shaka here on campus at VCU.  Don't worry. I'm sure he's cleaning out his office as we speak.

It would be hilarious if this actually turns out to be what he's doing

Well Buzz was here apparently when he agreed to go to VTech. So where he is doesn't really matter.

Im convinced all the VCU posters are the same person. Care to leave your mothers basement every once in a while?

I never promised it would come out today. I also said in this thread I was suddenly getting conflicting reports.  Don't shoot the messenger. 

[Windyplayer]

Safe to say, the word "source" is taboo here for the foreseeable future.

Different suggestion....don't be the messenger, when the message is nonsense. BTW, in this case, you weren't just the messenger, you chose the message.

[DienerTime34]

That hire sucked.

I had info thought I'd share it not going to apologize for that.  At least I made an effort to inform as opposed to the nonsensical speculations 90% of this board has become

[niquejamesfan]

The question is what did you really even pass on?  "They hired someone but I don't know who, they aren't hiring someone and I can't say who."  The only thing you did disclose was the source which no one cares about.  You basically should have posted " I think I know something you don't know, na na na na.

It's one thing to "share" in a reserved fashion such as "I've heard that we made a hire, though haven't seen the contract myself," NOT a sensational "A Hire Has Been Made!!!"

Has "Done Deal" taught us nothing, people?

You didn't do anything wrong by telling us what you heard. Everyone who chose to believe a random student source on an internet message board only have themselves to blame for any disappointment.

In all fairness it's not like I went into the AMU and asked some random person I figured he had enough access to have some credible info

Fair enough, but to all of us he might as well be some dude in the AMU. We would be dumb to just trust that a student you talked to was connected enough to confirm that someone was hired when all those known to have actual source within the administration, BoT, athletic department heard nothing.

[reinko]

Too many dick pics to sort through, huh?

Send 'em reinko's way.  He is a specialist.

I guess ya gotta be with the nickname tripod.

I was a long time poster on the Rivals board before the "split" and have been out of the  Marquette message board game so to speak for a while. Kids and career will do that to you. This whole coach search has pulled me back in and it's been very entertaining. The GIFs are incredible.

Anyways, I keep seeing people refer to their "source" as to what they heard. I just want to say that a "Source" in a journalistic sense is not your roommate, or a poster on a message board, or a friend, or a neighbor, or someone you overheard on the bus to work.

A "Source" is someone who you know has 1) direct inside knowledge not generally available to the public and 2) is someone whose credibility you can vouch for if questioned. In other words, reading something on someone else's message board or on Twitter does not give you a "source." I think part of the confusion is people post that they have a  "Source" saying XYZ, and people infer that means someone who is truly a "Source" when it really means some random person. So if your "source" is just some random person, maybe just say "your heard......"

Lecture over. Hope this ends soon and favorably. Ring Out Ahoya.

Is this The JUNO?

Perhaps when I said hired I wasn't using the proper word as what he said was "we've got someone" I just figured that saying hired would get people a little more excited.

Clearly you have learned nothing this week.   You are grounded,  2 weeks.

Why do all the VCU posters thta come over here sound like they are 43 and live in the basement at their mom's house?  I'd love to have a beer with a quality VCUer.

[MUCam]

Whoa. Blast from the past. Would be tremendous recall if true, Keefe. Bravo.
