  • In the last few days we've had people on here going ape **** over BS rumors about Anzalone and Jaylon Smith looking around. Calm down boys. This mass hysteria needs to stop. There is no need to panic, only 33 more days until kickoff. Stop being idiotic fans by starting or buying into posts from other teams sites, most notably USC's message boards. Thanks and have a great day. Go Irish

    Agreed, It boggles my mind what gets said about recruits, especially when some of them and their parents read these boards.

  • With all due respect message boards tend to be where 'rumors' are discussed. It cracks me up when I see sanctimonious posts about essentially withholding our thoughts on topics which, by the very fact we drop a 100 plus bucks a year on a pay site, are very important to us.

  • Not for nothing, but this happens every year. As much as I would like the hysteria to stop, it never will as long as we follow recruiting with so much passion.

    it was a totally bogus rumor (completely debunked by our staff) that he had visited USC and committed on the spot. the rumor as i understand originated from the USC mod on TOS - which is why a doofus like me gave a tad of credence. all good.

    I agree with this, but no matter how many of these posts this board has, things aren't going to change. They still are going to freak out when they hear X player said hi to a U$C recruit, or when Y player drives by a university. People are going to be people, and fans are going to be fans. It's the "fun" of being part of an open message board.

    The staff locked and deleted the thread.

    You absolutely have the right to post and ask whatever questions you want on here. I'm not asking you to stop posting all together, I am however asking you to stop posting threads that are ridiculously manufactured lies by U$C fans. Since you and every other VIP member on here pays the 100 plus dollars a year, please feel free to post away. I will pay my 100 plus dollars a year, and exercise my right not to quite possibly jeopardize a recruit's interest to attend the University of Notre Dame.

    I agree with NEVER doing anything to jeopardize a recruit desire to be Irish. My post on the rumor was actually a very clear ask of the staff if this was completely bogus.

    While admirable, it is futile to ask for board censorship on these things, especially one that is raging elsewhere.

    I for one will do my best to not succumb to the inquisitive pull of these rumors, but others will.
