Re: Wallace   

So first you say you don't want stories just inside scoop, but you follow that up by asking for... a story? I'm confused.

Here's the deal...

I love that we have such well connected subscribers. I wasn't upset at Ballplayers for him giving his info about Forrest and Alvin Brooks Jr. If you have inside information that hasn't been posted here yet, why hold it?

It's just disheartening as a journalist to sit and call 80 million different people, digging through phone directories and Google searches in an attempt to get a hold of someone, finally reach them with no answer, and in the time you're waiting for a return call, the story breaks from someone else through Twitter or a message board. Hey, it's society today and I need to learn to deal with it. But if you had seen the efforts Rob and I went through yesterday just to get Brooks and Rencher's names, maybe you'd understand a little.

I wanted to tell you all last night the names of the coaches we had heard were linked to the K-State openings, but I found myself caught in an all too common pickle here on GPC.

- If I release the names, now everyone knows. Not just fans and subscribers, but reporters and other writers, who no matter if they're friends of ours or not, are competition. No matter how you slice and dice it, GPC still covers K-State news and we still enjoy being the first to break it, and with more than just a first and last name. If we're going to hand out information in today's day and age, we will do so when we have something concrete to share (ie- Not only break the names of the candidates, but also a story with comments from each. That way you're not only getting the names from us first, but also quotes before any other site or affiliation has time to track down either).
- Which brings me to Part II. Let's say I release the names anyway... what else was there to report? The person who gave us the names never said whether or not he wanted us to publicly distribute what he had heard. So I wouldn't have been able to tell you where we got it from. To that point, neither Rob nor myself had spoken any words at all to Brooks (ignored our calls) and Rencher (who we still didn't have a number for), so it's not like I could share with you their comments on the rumors.

Rob, and myself in particular, decided to sit on it until we had more information to share, directly from one of the two candidates, hoping they would get back in touch with us... which didn't happen.

It's the life of a journalist today and that's what I was "bit%^ing" about. It's not as cut and dry as it used to be.

Holy crap.  Am I reading this right.  The reason Forrest is going to LSU is because they will pay him more than K-State will if he's not hired as head coach?

Shawn Forrest accepted a job on Weber's staff last week. That lasted roughly nine hours. He changed his mind because he interviewed for the North Texas head coaching job. The change of heart was also due to the fact that Johnny Jones could pay him more money as an assistant at LSU should he fail to be hired by North Texas.

This is why LSU is his backup plan. The AD at N. Texas is planning to leave on vacation next Wednesday. Everyone expects a decision before then.

Other things:

When Forrest declined the job, he suggested Alvin Brooks III (Sam Houston State) and Terrence Rencher (formerly of Tulsa) to oscar Weber as good options to make a recruiting splash in Texas. I haven't bee able to reach either, but Brooks has gone out of his way to avoid my calls. Take that however you want. Could mean something is up, but it might be nothing.

I mean, I enjoy that crap so much. How hard can it be to get Rencher's number? and the home of an internet magazine pining for the good old days. I mean seriously. lol

[chum1]

here are my two thoughts:  other sports journalists don't appear to endure gpc's constant, vexing burden.  why don't they just ask ballplayers for the info in the first place?

[wabash909]

I think they're too stupid to.

[Saulbadguy]

gpc is a nice distraction while we get humiliated on the assistant coaching search front.

ZOMG BUTT HURT SO BUTT HURT

yeah, this is a good point

[CHONGS]

I think they're too butthurt to ask.

"Hey, BP, I know you pay me for info on KSU and stuff, but do you know anything about our coaching search?  How about what recruits we are looking at?"

Lol

Fitz must feel like he would have to give BP his money back, and....well....$10 is a couple wells at Tubbys on a Wednesday night.

DJamer Wally really needs a mentor.

Squeaks already has the company line down.

He found himself caught in an all too common pickle.  You really can't blame him.

[WillieWatanabe]

I wanted to give DJamer Wally the benefit of the doubt...but after that post....jfc. He needs to find something else to do. He stands no chance.

[Dr Rick Daris]

so the guy that is known as a guy that can recruit texas decides to go to a different school and then based on his suggestion we hire two guys that will be going up against him in recruiting texas. did i really just read that?

[O-town Kat]

 Need webcams in gpc world HQ so those tards can see Wallace burnin up the phones and phone directories.

So who the tuck are these guys again?

If this ends poorly I might join #teambutthurt

[jtksu]

I haven't been able to spend as much time on this board lately as I had previously but let me tell you all how pleased I am with the butthurt movement.   I truly love this crap.
