Transfer rumor...

  • Agreed, my approach was probably off and once attacked I got defensive. See my response to tdiddy so I don't have to retype. In the future I will preface my comment differently. This is why my wife probably gets pissed about my delivery...

  • Jjustin brown tweeted this is going to be the longest week of his life.

    Not making myself an Internet anything, simply stating that this is a key reason why many people stopped posting info on the other sites. I provided what I was given from someone who has provided many quality insights in the past. He has access and has been a part of the program since the early 80's when he played. When people decide to shoot the messenger and call me out saying I am a liar or stirring the pot making up BS for the heck of it, I take exception to that. I have not been on this site for long and don't post much when I don't have much to add. I don't use a made up name and post crap just for the heck of it. I am not claiming to be a big insider since I am not, but I have been around the program and the Lettermen for many years now and occasionally come across info. This is proving out not to be crap and he may not have made an official public decision but I obviously had good insight since hours after I posted this it hit the main info track. I posted it the way it was given to me and you are correct that in the future I will preface with "What I have been told...". But calling me out as a BS'er or troll is just plain wrong.

    I repeat, this site is appreciative of ANYONE'S willingness to share what they hear. Just frame it properly. I'm not going to give a lecture, b/c you've already recognized the miscommunication. I don't think the majority of the crowd felt you were fabricating the story. It was completely out of left field and presented as a 'done deal'. That stunned us, and people are currently sensitive to any negative news...especially unforseen negative news...and some will respond as such to the messanger. Let's move on. Time to focus on whether he actually stays or goes.

    Having info does not allow you to post like you have spoken to God.

    Hell, people have had good info and been burned because things changed at the last minute.

    The better the info, the more cautious your post style should be. Otherwise, people will blast you...and deservedly so...for being an annoying know-it-all POS.

    Consider this a learning experience that many of us have already gone through.

  • First of all, I've been praying for the entire Penn State community and all of those hurt.

    Secondly, there's A LOT of smoke around this in Oklahoma. Nothing has been confirmed except that he has in fact been in contact with OU. Some reports came out later that OU "backed off" him. Not sure where it stands now. We were hoping JUCO AA Courtney Gardner would fill some of the void at WR, but he didn't qualify and won't be st OU until January. It makes a ton of sense on both sides, if true. OU has Kenny Stills who's a stud, but after that its unproven youth. A lot might depend on the ncaa's ruling on Jalen Saunders, a Fresno State transfer who's awaiting the ncaa ruling if he can have immediate eligibility. If granted, I'm not sure if the OU coaches would even pursue Brown anymore.

    Anyways, Good luck and prayers to those affected.

    Thanks for the heads up, SoonersSeif. Appreciate the insight.

  • Brown is Redd drama part 2.

    I'm sick of all this wishy washy, "wo ess me", "life is so hard" crap.

    You want to play football in front of 107,000 hugely supportive fans & be forever immortalized as one of the warriors that stood up for PSU when it was down then stay. If you want to chase a bowl game or what you think is going to improve your draft stock then turn your back on your teammates & get out.

    Like I said before, we'll forget those that leave, those that stay will be legends forever!

  • "hardest week of my life"

    Choosing to get to play for a big 12 champ contender or a historic program in front of 107k and guaranteed the most targets on the team....

    Tough life kid, tough life.
