The Lions' Pride

We are ok if you do not read anymore. We will sleep somehow. That being said we ripped Joyner and what was being worked on until Christmas. Bob has done more in a few months then the program had done in years. Will we question things in the future. Hell yes we are not koolaide drinkers. Will we break stories when we can. Yep Are we trying to compete with anyother sites. Not at all. It will always be a free site run by a diverse group of guys.

As someone who has followed the "insiders" over the years I guess my main problem is the reaction you guys have whenever you are questioned. For as many times as you guys have been right over the years you have been wrong just as many. I can't count the number of times I'd hear about new offensive schemes being cooked up in practice over the summer only to see the same vanilla crap in the opener. I'd then be assured that the coaches were keeping the real offense under wraps for the real games. It never happened. Williams Wallace is the first example that comes to mind. I also remember "insider reports" from summer practice one year that talked about how the defense would be running a Patriots-style blitzing scheme where the DBs and LBs would all be walking around and the guys blitzing would be determined by who was moving forward when the ball was snapped. That never happened.

Now, I understand that things are fluid, and that not everything that gets thrown around in practice will come to fruition, and that a recruit who is a lock can change his mind at the last minute. But the thing that bothered me was whenever people questioned you all on something your response was to walk away so as to punish us for asking questions. That's certainly your right, but it sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth. For example, I'd really like to ask what was behind the belief that there was "Something Brewing on the Blue Turf," but from past experience that would ruffle a lot of feathers. I would be fine if you said you can't give anymore details because your contacts would be upset and left it at that. I'd then be free to take what you say with a grain of salt and decide for myself if you actually have inside info or simply think you do. But that hasn't been my experience with the laschout crew in the past.

Pm me and I will share the background of the blue field story. We worded it like we did for a reason.

As far as how certain posters react to others usually has to do with the way it is presented. Usually when someone happens it quickly turns to a you are full of crap you have no connection tones rather than a question on what happened. Some people can not post sources but if a staff member says we have. A kid and kid changes his mind a small percentage of the time do you not want people reporting it? Most guys will give you a better explanation on pm at least if you are not attacking them on post.

LaschOut is fun, even if you disagree with what they post. Like them or not, whenever there's a new post or tweet, you can guarantee that there will be three new threads on this (and every other) site saying OMG NEW LASCHOUT POST. If they can generate some more discussion and help keep the rest of us occupied during an eight-month offseason, what's the real harm?

Unless these guys are former players or coaches, comparing their criticisms to those of Short and Arrington is pointless.

LO is fine if you take them FWIW. Nobody is perfect all the time and the smug way they delivered things for years is what soured people. If you wrap a diamond in a pile of crap...it still stinks. In other words their presentation was lacking quite a bit, but the content itself was good. Since they aren't asking for money they can deliver it however they want to I guess.

Interesting thread

Regarding the BOB hiring and the effects it would have on PSU, they were completely wrong.

HAHA love the pic! Not mad just trying to point out that these people who claim to be "insiders" are really not as informed as they claim. Perhaps they know people or people who know people but I've yet to see any evidence of that but I'd be happy to see evidence to the contrary.

My "point" is simply they made their feelings known on a message board NOT in the public media as opposed to the other two who deliberately blasted the program and knew and wanted it to harm that program as they perceived it.

Some of them are.

And what would be the point of that? It's like asking an insider to reveal it's sources. Take what we post FWIW.
