95% of this probably right. If he’s transferring it’s probably already a done deal. If he feels lied to, has opened his eyes to the dumpster fire surrounding Helton, and is genuinely pissed.. he gone. A phone call and assurances from Helton won’t change the shit show that is the USC program overnight.
He may have been sold on everything the Trojan program could offer after school, but if that was solely the case he should go play for one of the Ivy’s.
The shepherd's pie at O'Neill's is awesome. The place is pretty cool as well - it's in the basement of a historic building. The sushi place in town isn't bad either.
At Hayden you deplane on the runway so if it's cold that day, bundle up before getting off the plane. It's not a short walk to the terminal.
You can get a shuttle to the Grand but it's not super walkable to anything if you're wanting to leave the resort. Last time I was there, they had Uber/Lyft etc.
If you need rentals on anything run by ski haus and ask for Mata. Super nice dude and will actually take you on some pretty awesome lesser known runs if he's not working in the afternoon.
If you're taking anyone with you that needs lessons, ask for Robert (goes by Roberto). Younger guy with a beard that was great with our youngest for being her first time skiing. When she was 6.
Enjoy steamboat. It's a pretty great place.
I had a feeling something like this would go down with FWK. He openly solicited money from a family who didn't like it and got put on blast for it. This kind of thing may or may not draw the ire of the NCAA, but the IRS might be interested if there's a whole lot of money flying around that FWK can't explain.
If Adidas got popped in men's college basketball, why would they not be using the same model in college football? Oddly enough, Adidas is sponsoring this clown's 7v7 teams. Far from a coincidence.
And thank you for your donation @MountainHorn but I'm pretty sure the folks in the athletic department can handle this. No need to insert yourself.
You can do upgrade at the desk if they have open seats. Did Austin -> Heathrow business class this way.
Edit: It was $500 just an fyi. Completely worth it if you're on a late flight. The $500 is per leg. Get there early and pay for it so you don't get jumped by people with status.
I just got the notice from SPG to merge everything this morning. Got all my stuff back. The name of the new brand is straight up awful though. "Bonvoy".
Futureman is the captain, vice-admiral, and shit-poor bukkake queen of satire on this board. Just wait until he floors you with his hot takes and quick wit on rugby.
I got super boned by the merger. Was platinum status with SPG for 5 consecutive years and post merger lost all points and status. Called my concierge and they couldn't tell me what was going on.
What are the odds that he’s trying to worm his way into footwork king’s circle as his last means of staying relevant in recruiting?
Hamm, you’re reading this. Give up. You’ve lost. All around. It’s all on you dude.
