In related news, does anyone have the story on what that fat motherfucker hates Texas so much?

Maybe his mama hates him.

And daddy, too.

And the rest of the world.

Maybe.

    How do you think this is helpful? Not being a jerk, just asking y'all to keep your shit together and use common sense. In any event, I know for a fact that nothing ever happens with Texas until a

    He could have if he isn't. Play devil's advocate and tell us why you feel about this guy's overall approach to his recruitment and how that either translates to the next level or doesn't matter.

I think the funny part is that he thinks the green revolution will lower gas prices and make Texas as poor as Louisiana.

Imagine what it’d do to Louisiana

I'm not going to give that guy clicks by linking it, but he LITERALLY got this from a screenshot of an OB post on MBG that was positing Arch is overrated. Farrell literally commented on it this morning. 

MBG is a twitter account that screenshots hawt takes from fan sites for public ridicule. He's worse than a caricature at this point. 

His most recent tweet this morning is about Notre Dame and is just a cut/paste from an upvoted reddit comment last night.

I didn't hear the LSU chodes whining about a green revolution in June when the won the College World Series with the NIL transfers they bought, er brought in from the Air Force Academy and NC State.  Fuck off whiny losers...

Insert something about cutting nose, spiting face here  ... Louisiana no small player in O&G, refineries, ports to Gulf of Mexico and whatnot. Message Board Geniuses indeed ...

There will be a 5 minute break after Durham commits to allow the LSU fans to turn off their TVs

I’m not linking to that fat fucking slanted,  pig eyed fuck. Screenshots?

Fong

It’s decision day for Duncanville (Texas) High teammates, five-star edge Colin Simmons and Top247 running back Caden Durham.

LSU is considered the heavy favorite to land Durham who has also strongly considered Oklahoma, Texas A&M and UTSA. Brian Kelly and his staff head into to the day with 22 commits and 247Sports’s No. 11 ranked recruiting class. We expect them to have at least 23 commits by day’s end.

Could it be 24?

Sources continue to indicate the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Simmons is giving the LSU staff reason to believe he’s coming. We felt strongly about LSU’s position last summer when a 247Sports Crystal Ball Forecast was logged and still liked that prediction following his visit for the spring game this past April. While I know Simmons gave Texas a lot of reasons to be confident following his official visit the weekend of June 23, he did the same with LSU following another unofficial visit the last weekend in July.

So how does it all add up on decision day?

I think think confidence remains around Austin (and really hasn’t wavered since the June official), and at this point I grade it as more optimism than confidence around Baton Rouge.

Miami is still in contact with Simmons. We’ve seen Mario Cristobal and his staff pull shockers before and the two parties spoke last night. They are battling.

I’m going to nuke my prediction and see where the excitement takes us. There is Texas confidence, you can't discount LSU, all the visits to campus and the regular communication with Frank Wilson and others on their staff all the way to the buzzer. And again you have Miami and Cristobal hanging around.

This sentence is so poorly constructed. What the hell does this even mean?

So they can just get rid of their pick the day of and it not effect their pick percentage?

What?!? How can they do this?  How will we know how many fake internet points they receive if they can just change their picks on the day recruits commit?

He's saying Texas is confident while LSU is optimistic.. meaning Texas feels better about the decision.

That doesn’t make me feel good at all.  Hopefully it’s just him trying to drum up suspense.

It sounds like he’s about to microwave a week old burrito. 

My interpretation: Fong knows, but is letting the kid have his "day" by regaining some excitement of uncertainty in where he'll land.

If Fong knew it was LSU, feel like he would have left his LSU prediction and devalued it in his write-up with something to the effect of, "this is one that could go either direction - I already entered an LSU pick so, given the current situation, I'm just going to let it ride knowing there's a coin flip's chance it'll hit." 

Ergo, him killing his LSU prediction is a good sign for us.

My sources say that the Miami coaching staff will not learn about it until Monday, when they get back from a weekend bender. 

My sources are saying 50.3 49.7. He still doesn’t know. He’s taking a shit right now trying to figure it out. 
 

SMU isn’t in play anymore 

Colinoscopy scheduled at 2:00 and I haven't fasted or chugged that disgusting, salty-sweet concoction that makes you shit your guts out. Anus is not properly prepared.

this is the only thing that matters in all that gibberish. He isnt nuking his prediction, if he thinks it is correct.

Well, Simmons has succesfully succeeded in leaking nothing, not tipping his hand, and having everyone on edge down to the motherfucking wire. I guess it shouldn't end any other way.

Would feel a lot better if he picked Miami today compared to LSU.  Miami would seemingly be easier to pry him away from in the fall if we do our part on the field and Miami falls flat.  But yeah, would be shocking if that was actually the pick. Just don't see it.

Well, one thing is for sure, we can't expect it to be UT when Sark was unsuccessful in developing Arch.  The Mannings having him transfer out is a really bad sign.   /s

he ain't going to Miami. from literally day 1 of his recruitment he has said he will be playing in the SEC. he has repeated it multiple times. unless he is playing a years long troll job, just go to go fucking Miami of all places, it ain't happening

oh yeah and their NIL funder/collective is literally in flames.

he ain't passing on Texas or LSU for a Lance Guidry led defense.

I hate to be the guy to tell you this, but those aren’t links, sir. 

IMO Fong knows it’s Texas. If he flipped his CB at this point it ruins any suspense left. If he leaves it on LSU he takes a hit, so he nukes it accompanied by a phrase intended to leave some suspense.
