I sure hope it isn't my thing that you guys are talking about.  I just hate it when other people talk about my thing.  Guess I just have a thing about my thing....

[Pakuni]

I know all about the thing you're talking about it.  I actually heard about it a week before you did.  What's more, I've since heard that your thing isn't even true.  So, in essence, your thing isn't even really a thing any more.  You need better sources.

Are you sure we're talking about the same thing?
My sources tell me the thing wasn't even a thing until well after your sources told you about that other thing.
But as for that other thing, I also heard that it really wasn't a thing at all.

No...don't worry.  Your thing is so small and insignificant that nobody ever talks about it.

[GooooMarquette]

Wait - you just talked about it.  I hate it when my golf handicap goes public.

[StillAWarrior]

Doh!

Scoop is amazing.

Whenever someone shares something on here, you get one of the following responses:

1. "You are wrong."
2. "If you are not wrong, you need to share everything."
3. "If you don't share everything, you are being a dick."

I backed up something that was posted here that corrected some misinformation.  Would you rather I say nothing?

For the most part, most (myself included) are just pulling your chain. Lighten up.
That said, as someone who's done battle with Chico's for the most "I know something you don't know" posts around here, what do you expect?
Don't throw gas on a fire and feign shock when it results in flames.

Maybe it's time to start a poll ....

Welcome to Scoop!  You must be new here.


Just kidding.  Actually, you do get a lot of that.  Occasionally, people appreciate it and say thanks, but that is rare.  Fortunately, I never know anything (except for that thing I was telling Pakuni about, but that's pretty under the radar), so I don't have the problem.

I always find it very entertaining watching people try to pry inside information out of those who have it (or claim to have it).

If I ever do have any inside information (aside from that thing that Pakuni knows nothing about), I won't burn my sources either.

I've come to the conclusion there are two camps of Scoopers:  Those that paint by numbers and those that try to paint free hand.  Both are trying to get the same painting as the master painting.

The freehand painting group is all about pulling nuggets, big or small, true or wildly stupid, etc and create their own painting.  They are ok with that the painting may not be what actually gets made, but its a puzzle to solve and solve

The paint by numbers group wants to know exactly how to arrive at the master painting and to get their as fast as possible with no errors and no confusion.

Basically one group is comfortable with ambiguity and one is not.

Neither is right or wrong, but know who you are and be comfortable in it.  Sultan, I got bent out of shape on a similar instance a month ago, but I realized its not worth it.  I'm going to share what I know when I can because I hope others will do the same and the painting becomes more complete.  If the paint by numbers folks aren't down, so be it.

Great and accurate analogy.  But you left out the half dozen posters who would rather piss on the canvases.

why not just say what you know and do not reveal your source?

Is there anything worthwhile to read in this thread?  I don't feel like wading thru 4 pages of nothing.

I'll save you the time:

1. People are throwing vague assertions about NN at the wall and letting others jump to conclusions.
2. MU fans are for reasons unknowable to me hate-reading Badger boards' threads ripping on MU.
3. Everyone is lining up for their place in the self-gratification circle.

More often than not, the stuff I knew eventually came to light....of course even when I gave clues or flat out said things like Mayo ain't likely to be here, people still like to fight....until Mayo ain't here and then they shut up.  LOL

90% of the posters were saying "Mayo ain't likely to be here" from the day he stepped on campus.

[buckchuckler]

It's important to have a goal in life.

Haha.  True enough.  And this is working out just splendidly.

Nobody shut up. Actually TAMU totally depantsed you on that one. The time line went something like this:

1. Chico, with insider information (LOL) says something sort of innocuous like "Are we sure Mayo is coming back" not he's gone or likely gone.
2. AFTER Chico's statement, Wojo issues the "all clear" for Todd's return, officially making Chico wrong.
3. Todd screws up again and Wojo says "No  Mas". Chico does a victory lap, TAMU exposes it as BS, everyone has a good laugh (except Chico).

Your inside information was wrong. When "your source" said he may not be welcome back he was actually in good standing.

[Dr. Blackheart]

If his was true when you outed this in April, I will go out on the limb and say Wojo should never have been hired as this was a major error of commission with the roster holes we have now that he could have filled back in April.  Major eff up in the Athletic Department as well if so.

Nothing he could have done about it then.  You're just filling holes to fill holes, what's the point.  The quality players you want to get aren't there.  Short term solutions don't work.

I heard what I heard in April, it was from a very good source.  It ended up being true, my source was 100% accurate.  Maybe he got lucky, maybe things happened in the interim.  I believe Keefe heard the same things if I recall.  At the end of the day, my source said he won't be back and low and behold, he didn't come back.  I did see he got suspended recently for taking a punch at someone in the NBDL....lsigh.  Hope it works out for him.

I'm sure Lenny had something interesting to say as well, but since he is on ignore....well....cool...I don't give a shat what he has to say anyway, because it's usually wrong, and not having to read it saves me the headache.
