Mane to stay in Draft

[Lennys Tap]

I'm here. I remember you saying he wasn't going to be coming to MU but were coy with what he was going to do, but maybe you did say he was opting to skip college.

Either way, congrats on Marquette not getting a good recruit. Definitely something for MU fans to celebrate.

Mike,

Bad Reporter was kind enough to share information with me many, many months ago that indicated we were out with Mane. It was, for both of us, disappointing rather than celebratory. But it was news, and it was accurate. Isn’t that something journalists celebrate - find “heroic”, even?

[wadesworld]

Yep.  You were right on.  Your PM to me back in March was right on the money.  Meanwhile we had Newsdreams suggesting we were still in play in April, May, June.  Yet another time Newsdreams completely missed the mark.  Par for the course.

BR nailed it wey before green, purple, or pink wienies were in vogue and der wuz neva a doubt as two his accuracy. No joy, no sorrow. Just da facts, hey?

Congrats to BadReporter. He’s the real MVP of MUScoop. Lol

Absolutely. A true hero.

I will eagerly await BR's next scoop on Scoop. And I mean that.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

If Bad Reporter's assertion was that we were out with Mane back in March, then he was incorrect. He may have had information that led to him predicting the correct outcome but we (and every other college on his list) were not out with Mane until May.

Whatever makes you happy!

TAMU is correct.

TAMU is correct.

Interesting.

Problems with sense of smell is often indicative of COVID19. Get tested ASAP.

This is pretty funny.

This is pretty funny.

Thanks Frenns - in these difficult times all humor matters.

The most important thing here is who was right and when.  Not that Mane isn't coming.

This board, I swear.

Couldn't you say this about every prediction made by anyone ever?

<Babe Ruth points to outfield>
Fan 1: By golly, I think Ruth is going to hit a homer!
<Babe Ruth hits homer>
Fan 1: Wow!
Fan 2: You may have had information that led to the correct prediction, but technically <pushes up glasses>, six seconds ago, you didn't know that for sure.

Well sure as long as we are talking about predictions. If Fan 1 had said "Babe hit a homer" before he actually did it, Fan 1 would be incorrect.

Completely wrong

I’m pretty sure he was joking. I think most find the concept of an “underboard” hilarious.

Hilarious is fun

It may, or may not exist.

Just messin, Newsie.

I couldn't keep all the actual timelines/posts correct. And I have no idea if bad reporter is part of the meat summiters.

But you had reporter being backed up by ners and 4ever.

But then chili and you backed up TAMU. (And chili, to my knowledge, was the one who continued to say Mane was in play the whole time)

And the info was different on both sides.

We had a source that had real time info inside the program. My suspicion is that BR had a source inside Mane’s camp.  All good.  Bad and I will unravel this over some bourbon in the future.

Next man up.

ND sucks.
