Brooks is starting for UNC and had 14 points in the opener. Makes me want to throw up, a coaches son and we couldn't get him to campus. Oh well, we should have some good news tomorrow with Woodard.

Momma wasn’t gonna let it happen. Forget it and move on. Maybe we can play them in the Big Dance next season and Woodard, Perry, and Carter can beat his *** and send em back to Chapel Hill and piss momma off even more
He wanted to play for Dad but momma wasn’t going to make it easy. Garrison put in a bad position and Dad took the high road!
Does this sort of thing happen at other schools?...
Our number one personnel need is a power forward that can score in the post, our assistant coach happens to have a son that fits the bill and some BS family drama prevents us from getting him.
We need a legitimate outside receiver, a great one comes through our own damn town and he happens to be the one Starkville kid that doesn't want to go to State and/or has some shady reason for not coming.
Our head coach has a connection with the top JUCO QB and we are a great QB away from being a SEC/National Championship contender, but the dude has a dad with a hand out and he goes to Auburn.
It just seems like this happens a lot to us.

It happens everywhere. Have been a number of elite kids from Auburn highschool that were longterm Auburn commits that pulled the hat trick on them and went to Bama on NSD. LSU lost Dylan Moses last year. Liggins to LSU initially, etc. It is rare but it happens. That said, ours have been particularly impactful to be certain.
We should never take any of the "likely" stuff for granted. Like today when Woodard signs with us and bumps the basketball class to #11.
I don't like looking back at the "what ifs" because they all lead to a different future. Maybe if Cam is at MSU, we break the wheel and win it all in 2010. But there's no chance Mullen is here in 2011 if that happens and it never gets built how it has been now -- to the point no one can really "buy" him from us and we feel like there are only a dozen or less destinations clearly better than our current situation.
For us, it needed to happen slowly. At some point we are going to have stuck around in relevance for long enough that no one remembers when we weren't. That's when the next step can really be taken. Ex: Clemson.

Consequences of doing things (relatively) the right way and not being a blue blood.
I'm sure it
happens all the time, everywhere. We just don't know, because we don't follow other teams.

Maybe so. But it's not just that we lose guys we should probably get, it's that it seems to happen at the very position where we are lacking. Auburn lost Rashaan Evans to Alabama, but they still have an elite defense with linebackers and rush ends aplenty. We lose Brown and we have midgets starting on the outside.
At least with Brooks we are filling the gap a year later with Perry, who admittedly is a connected guy at our biggest position of need.
I hate it when people use derogatory terms to describe our own players. Midgets?? Really?? If it is something you would not say to the player's face, or the player's family, then don't type it on an internet message board. Good grief.
Oh, btw- their all world receiver is about to be 0-2 against our "midgets". So, I'm not feeling any sting from "losing" him.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned (or something like that). The crazy thing is that most would have understood if she hadn't waited until 6 months AFTER he signed his NLI to raise hell about it.

Speaking of midgets, reminds me of the mini Lee graphics I did back in the day. Ha
