re: Is Van Pran in play?(Not Signed, Pittman gone)

This! I hope the rantards go away now that signing day has passed.

You obviously don’t frequent this board and or don’t pay attention to the info Vol has provided this board for months.

You’re the reason most rantards shouldn’t have access to post on this board.

I have frequented this board for years. Long before I even had an account. I know exactly what info he posted, and it was never anything that could not be found elsewhere. The fact that his info was some great revelation to you just tells me you spend too much time on this board, and don't really follow many, if any, other sources.

People like you are the reason this is the most vile place on the internet to talk sports. You don't like that I don't kiss the butt of your hero, and so in spite of the fact that I'm probably in the minority of people on this board who can carry on a conversation without cursing out every dissenting opinion, you think I shouldn't have access.

Well, I must inform you, friend, that my access is not in your hands, and it never will be. So I guess you're just going to have to get over that.

You always come across as jealous. I enjoyed reading Vol's posts this past year much more than yours. Why do you spend so much time trying to make others look worse? I think you know a good bit about LSU and football. Make that the focus of your posts. Did you notice that this is exactly what Vol did during the year even when others were trying to discredit him?

---

Really? I'm pretty sure you don't read anything I've said up until now, and because you don't agree with me, you've decided to throw out a blanket statement that I "always" come across as "jealous".

I mean this sincerely. Please explain to me how I come across as jealous, to you? And please also explain how I am always trying to make others look worse? The vast majority of my posts are all about LSU sports. If you REALLY knew about my post history here, you'd have known that fact already.

Why would I be jealous of any poster? I'm not a pretend insider. I have no competition with these people. Every member of this board, no matter how many posts they have, and however many read them, is just a faceless poster. Nobody knows who any of us are. I ave started TWO threads since I joined. You think attention is something I seek?

I assure you, I am not jealous of anyone here, anymore than they should be jealous of me. Nor do I set out to make people "look worse". I call things as I see them. You're upset at me, because you perceive that I am part of the reason Vol isn't posting. And you believe that Vol has information, even though it has been demonstrated that he and many others are doing little more than repeating pay site info. But I had very little to say about him, as I only addressed him maybe twice before signing day, and didn't say a word to him on signing day.

And the only reason I had even gotten into a discussion about him before was that I noticed that someone basically called Zach Evans an attention whore, and he got downvoted into oblivion, but when Vol insinuated the same thing, in the SAME thread, he had over 100 upvotes and 1 downvote. So I took the opportunity to highlight the hypocrisy and hero worship that was so perfectly displayed. This lead to Vol making some weird excuse for the stark contrast, saying that he wasn't calling him a bad kid, but just that he liked attention... THAT somehow was "totally" different from what the other poster said.

It's comical how this board hangs onto and defends his every word, all because he makes them feel good by saying "don't worry, guys, we're in a good spot". Do you realize how silly that is?

Man this stuff is gold! I came here just to pick up a few rumors on recruits, and am rewarded with rich, detailed glimpses into the lives and psyches of anonymous internet posters!

---

Rumors are rampant here. And rumors are useless. Some people get mad at the term "rumor" being used over "inside info".

That's basically what you've stumbled into, in a nutshell.

After all that...

You sound jealous, so f'ing jealous,....

I Say you sound jealous, just like a bitch....

Lol.. I'm not the one crying on here...just an observation....

Didn’t Vol get on here and say the coaches told Jarrett to take a hike in order to please Burton?

---

That’s the way I read it. It made no sense. In fact it sounded like total bullshite.

I'm responding to people who are almost literally crying over their so-called insider being run off. These people can get this information anywhere,

---

maybe so, but you can't get it here anymore. Whether Vol was an insider, or just combed the internet, pay sites, and other "information anywhere" places you speak of, or was just a fantastic guesser, he still brought more information here that turned out to be right way before and way more often than anyone else on this board. I have been following this forum for many many years and am very skeptical of anyone who claims to have information but over the last couple years I have seen enough from Vol to know he generally knows what he is talking about. Way more so than anyone else who posts here with any regularity at least.

You nailed it! Vol is a guy who scours premium sites, makes assertions based on them, and gives himself outs. A bunch of yo-yos are desperate to believe good news, so they are credulous.
