The House of Blue

Unfortunately that's what pays the bills. If everybody was free there would be no site.

But there's no need to turn a thread that started out as free into a VIP thread. If you want to have VIP only threads, I get that...but a poster jumping into the middle of a public thread and clicking the VIP button isn't necessary. Especially when the topic is discussing public info available to the entire world on Twitter. Need to bring back a separate free/football board.

Not a mod, but let's try to stay on topic here, guys.

and then give you a free laptop computer (paid for by the gov't) so that you can access the free site.

This isn't about coughing up $9 a month to be able to see VIP information.

It is about being able to participate in a discussion that began open and is based upon public information but has become exclusive because VIP only posts have closed the discussion.

I would second the motion to divide up a VIP and Free board if that was an item on the table. The goal of creating an atmosphere of inclusiveness by maintaining one board, while noble, fails when any open discussion is usurped by VIP only discussion.

As a note, I read elsewhere (BBK) that Stoops talked to Justin Day. He is a South Carolina kid who, before this year, had played only DE. (Note: He moved to SC from elsewhere, NC, IIRC) But, this past spring, his coach decided to try him at OT. We saw him and recruited him as an OT and he committed. Since then he has blown up and been named to the Shrine Bowl roster between NC and SC. I'm guessing Stoops spoke to him because on word from Summers who I expect us to retain. Unless of course, I've mixed him up with someone else, but I don't think so.
