Falling for pranks like hot news on a basketball recruit named "Cli Torris, 6" 9' forward" from a 'e-mail' make him a target."Rhatphuc Hobley" was another gem.
Please tell me this did not fricking happen. I heard the Mike Hunt before but this is just awful. There is no way that he put that on his site. Did he?
Either way, i still read the Dandy Don's site and will continue to do so.

Thanks for the "for those who bash Dandy" thread for the week. I was getting worried that we might not get one this week.
Somehow every freakin player/coach/media person/AD/grounds keeper, etc in the country is open for critique, but the great dandy one is supposed to get Jesus like status because he is a nice guy and really likes LSU?
What the freak? Dandy Don has made mistakes but has pretty much been on line with LSU predictions as it pertains to recruits and scores. He has done more than most of us have done. Gone out on his own limb and tried to provide the information pertaining to our favorite team and its future. It is easy to be a critic behind the screen of a computer. So I say Dandy, keep it going.

There is no reason for the 50 or so of you idiots to constantly bash the Dandy One. You obviously read his site, as does every LSU fan out there. He has been doing this for years, and you didn't complain until you had a voice on this board...a weak one at that. Sure, he will misspell a player's name every other week or so, but what is the obsession with bashing him so much?
Next week you will wonder why Dandy Don reported that Kenny Bell was a commitment only 5 days before he actually pulled the trigger.
Seriously, why do you folks constantly bash him on this board? He writes more about LSU every day than you could in a week. He is dedicated and gives us a report, even here in the eastern time zone, in the early A.M.
Why must you complain about him so often?
I have not come across any Dandy Don bashing (but i am new) but the guy is a Tiger fan who loves his team and does what he does because he loves LSU. He is a regular guy doing what he loves and it seems to be more of a hobby for him so for anyone to complain about a few mistakes is just crazy. On the flip side, anytime you put yourself out there to the public you have to be ready for bashing. People need something to talk about and like the old saying goes "any publicity is good publicity"

So, TD.com has been around, what, 5 or 6 years in the mainstream? That means you last read DD before the January 2004 BCS Champ Game? Oh,sorry, you were too young to remember that!
OK, bye, bye!!!

Dandy is a pimp because he gets paid to do what everyone does here for free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not only did Ratphuc Hobley happen, but at one time we also got a commitment from a Chinese 7-footer aptly named Bite-mai Wang.
that's about the time I stopped reading DD.

You can routinely find at least 5 glaring mistakes in most of his updates. He gets a freaking press pass for christ's sake. At least double check your posts ONCE before you submit it
So you go over his column everyday with a magnifing glass and a fine comb ,trying to find a mistake

OK, I think it is cool now. Raz and the other DD bashers seem to have moved on now!
Besides, he doesn't have a year of birth. Meaning he's only 12~~~~~~

I am really shocked that anything less than 99% of the members on this board don't read Dandy Don FIRST thing every day. It's amazing how close he is on most of his information, when the site is FREE!! I also agree that most of the bashers would get tired of writing an update every day after about a week, when Dandy Don simply lives for it!! Win or lose, Dandy Don bleeds Purple & Gold. OK, I guess this all means I am a supporter of his site, & yes, I am over 50, so what??

You know, I think I did see something about 'Cli Torris'...I have to go back & find that...too funny... No one ever said DD was perfect... :lol: :lol:

If you wanted to know when I found td.com, all you had to do was read the text under my name. But you aren't smart enough to read before you run your mouth, are you ?
I'm sure you put a lot of effort into the math that brought you to that conclusion, sorry to derail it with facts. But, you get an A for effort to keep your self-esteem up... and don't worry about that LEAP test score, we'll fix that too!

No one takes anything DD says as gospel, it's entertainment. Much like the "experts" who post here on the recruiting board. It's as accurate. Anyone looking for inside information, you are not going to find it there, nor here. DD is gullible, but he is not a "pretender." Take it as you will.
Posted on 8/4/08 at 8:15 pm to Raz
Ooops, yep, you are correct, Mr. Raz (making appropriate Raz noise). Everyone who discovers TD creates a member name that same day. Besides, does it really take you that long to discover everything? If so, glad your name is not (INSERT APPROPRIATE ANSWER HERE, i.e. Curley Hallman, Christopher Columbus...Lou Tepper...)

No one gets bent when someone doesn't like his site. Its when someone like you says he sucks. He's a good ole boy who loves LSU. YOU don't have to go there with it.

No one is confused by anything. There's just no need to talk shite about the guy.

I think Raz missed the juvenile reference, OH WELL! Can't reach 'em all! Some slip through the system!

Dandy Don's info is no better than what I can get on the Recruiting Board except without the typos or pranks.
