I think everyone is grossly overestimating the money side of this. None of these guys are getting as much cash as you think.

I know that's a popular party line on this board because Jones used to say it, but it just isn't true.

In fact, these top earners are getting more than you'd think. They play down the money to avoid the pr hit.

He made his offer and already knows whether he is coming or not. There's no reason ro lock himself in his basement
But there IS good reason not to post pics of today’s good time on the internet.

Being PR savvy …and knowing you’re constantly under the public’s microscope …is part of the UK job. He should know that pic is likely to be interpreted the wrong way by the BBN if we lose this one.

And your coach is still, against all odds, a bigger goober than Pope. I thought it impossible, but here we are.
Not a fan of either coach but how so? Kelsey seems to relate to the players and has made himself available to fans and students… Pope comes off as if he’s trying to hard to get people to like him and it doesn’t seem genuine

Brother, I put myself in his position. He gets dogged out 24-7 by half of BBN on a daily basis for anything he does or doesn't do. Every time any team signs a recruit, 10 more threads pop up saying whiffed again, whether we were recruiting the kid or not. I wouldn't give two squints of duck pee if BBN didn't like the fact that I was having a good time with my family on a Sunday afternoon

He's also shown he's out of touch with the fanbase and really doesn't give two craps. What's another whiff added on to the rest? He can be EMBERRASING and still get in front of a camera and say he's proud and excited.

At this point the guy is disrespectful...and he's not a troll.

He's earned all of that tho? Did you see his introductory when we packed out Rupp? He said he's here to win banners. Not whiff God medals. He said he understood the assignment and has failed big time.

Are you 12? Hurley has won "banners"...his first two years were worse than Popes. And he didn't start with no roster and didn't have massive injuries both years. RR would have ran him off after those two years unless they are lying. So don't give me that he understood the assignment bullcrap. Cal won one title in 15 years and it was considered a great run

Matt is wrong. @Rainmaker knows all. @Rainmaker tells all.
I’m not going to take a dunk on Rainmaker. I believe he shares what he knows and is kind enough to do it, despite getting killed for it. The problem is there’s so many smokescreens these days that even being fed something directly from what should be a reliable source leads to egg on the face. Even Matt Jones acknowledged as much himself.

No it wasn't with Cal. Put down the Crack pipe. No real UK fan is happy with 1 title n 15 seasons.

Nah man I outsourced my Community Service. Hired some feller named Raj from Uber to drive the bus.

They got me for PI at Fill Ups. While the deputy was raining blows on me I tried to explain that Fillups is a private business not public but he apparently doesn't understand the constitution.
You should have said you don’t recognize their authority, no jurisdiction and that you have the ability to freely travel as you see fit.

I believe he knows absolutely nothing and gets a titanic benefit in terms of social credit for pretending he shares what he knows and is kind enough to do it.

And you could say the same about jack pilgrim and that’s how he makes his living.

rainmaker is just a poster. What “social credit” are you referring to? Upvotes on a website? Oh boy !

Again, I don’t know why we’re lashing out at Rainmaker when our actual legit media is populated by asshats like Pilgrim and Polacjeck. His track record is no worse than theirs
We are lashing out at them. I don’t know why he’s getting a free pass when our actual legit media went to an awful lot of cost and effort to at least try and ferret out the truth.

Because it’s their job and they suck at it.
As far as I know, Rainmaker does not profit financially from posting

Not to mention which he’s prone to getting highly condescending at times to people who don’t drink his kool aid. This is not humble Dave Kersey we’re talking about, who really has personally broken a sh#t ton of actual news over the decades and really was kind enough to do it all free here before age and medical issues slowed him down and made him get publicly absolutely crucified here and was surprisingly totally cool about it in response because THAT’S what an actual kind, somewhat connected guy who occasionally hears things looks like.
