Yeah, nothing like a good conversation-starter. :roll:

Not that I have any idea what this is supposed to mean.

Anybody care to delete this?

And don't give me that 'free speech' crap. I'd bet even money that AA'02 is somebody who's already on here but doesn't have the dongles to use their standard moniker.

RagingTireFire, Anonomous Alumni was the person who posted "Ritchie McKay is the Man". And then said nothing else.

The rest of flamefans went on and on for a couple of pages of posts about McKay possibly being the man, and AA said nothing.

I guess now he's using his 2nd post to gloat on how accurate he was about breaking the info. Interesting poster. I wonder what he'll say next, haha!

i didn't say he was the man.

i said he was getting the job.

and actually i am not someone who was already on here using a different name. but i guess there is no way to prove it.

i had never even heard of this site before like a week ago.

i wanted to get the info i knew out there, but anonymously. it was one of those "i heard it from a friend of a friend" kind of things

but if i were one of you guys, i probably won't have believed me either, oh well.

no disrespect was meant so i apologize for that, i actually wish there was something like this when i was in school, when i was in school a "thread" was something you sewed with.

The crow wasn't bad...
...especially with Ketchup added. It was a bugger to pluck, though.

If I were AA...I would gloat a little, too.

Apology accepted...a little humility will go a long way round here though

Well, then. Sorry, AA'02. That name just sent up big red flags for me.
Mmmm, that's good humble pie. Tastes like boisenberry.

This is bull-plop, I said he was "the man" not in a "you're the man, now, dog!" way but "Ritchie McKay is THE MAN that we're hiring."

And I was FIRST. And I did it not as an anonymous post, so that I could cowardly hide if I was wrong. I won. I broke the story. Eat it....

(Unless AnonymousAlum02 is who slipped me the information before I posted it on FlameFans.)

Confidence is like cologne....

To little and you come across bland,
Just enough and it's attractive,
To much and you stink.

Since when is this board a deal breaker?

I'm going to leave the statement about control alone for now.

That makes me smile as well. Now an open-forum message board needs baby-sitters from the University :) If that's not funny enough, some feel that they are filling that void.

If this little message board scares away a coach than I don't want him here. Seriously, compared to other boards we are TINY and wield no influence. If someone says that we need to be "sat on" I got something they can sit on. Please. Get over yourselves. We are not that important, just passionate and fun loving.

Wow!

Jolly good, lad!

Yep. We're harmless. Seriously. Come to one FlameFans.com tailgate and you'll see that very quickly.

Nice analogy, Tally. I may have to add that to my repertoire (of course, citing the link in my daily speech per Flamefan new rules... :lol:

I'm still stuck on the amount of power this board holds. Shoot, if we knew that we should have lobbied harder for Tubby Smith.

Do you think Bobby Bowden would be interested in taking an assistant role under Karcher?

thanks to those of you that extended the hand of friendship. i look forward to hamming it up with you all.

if ed dante's inferno wants the credit for "breaking" the news, then you can have it man.

i was just trying to put info out there, not win any awards, hence my anonymity.

Welcome to the board AA

Just be careful, there are ways to catch leaks.

Like when Disney was having a problem, they figured it was probably coming from an intern. So at water-cooler conversations, they told different interns about different "projects" that were coming up, and the project that got leaked let them know which one was doing it.

Of course, since we apparently wield a lotta power, why do we need people to leak stuff to being with when we get the final say on who comes and goes? :lol:
