Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[thistime]

Young people use Twitter. I don’t get why that bothers some fans. No one is forcing you to go on there and follow them.

Sounds like a you problem.

Today MOST athletes and celebrities crave the spotlight and when that spotlight deems twitter is the switch to turn it back on and it is that simple.

Barely made that lol.

Remember to vote! Kentucky guy is leading right now...

Slightly off subject, but remember to vote for Evan Russell for the senior class award at the link below - the Kentucky player now leads, can't have that. GBO.

Not sure about your math. 32 doesn’t fit in that year gap!

 

[rjd970]

The fact you guys care that much about what a player on a team we like posts on Twitter effect you that much is your own problem…

I don’t have Twitter and couldn’t give one blue F about what Maurer says. I just think this instance is particularly ridiculous.

 

[pierce60]

Yeah, how dare Maurer celebrate a personal health milestone on a social media platform that might encourage one of his followers to possibly seek help for an addiction and turn their life around....selfish bastage.

Somebody throw out the DeGen X, suck it Gif

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Thanks. Don’t do Facebook or any social media...

So I found his Facebook page, found where to be, couldn’t figure out how to post a bid.

Boomer struggles are real. Boomer lives matter. Get the eff off my lawn ya filthy animals

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Hasn’t won a title. Corbin, O’Sullivan, and Maneiri all have and all have been at their current school for a minimum of 13 years. That gets you paid.

Then get ready to pay him this year. Omaha will be all Pantone 151 by the end of the final CWS game.

Omaha is ours. PM

I am right smack dab between Gen X and Millennial. That being said, my Mii character on our family Wii U looks like an angry old man with oversized glasses and my user name is GetOffMyLawn!

Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Rick Warren

Social media in general does not foster this ideal. Just my opinion. (Not talking about Maurer at all, proud of his accomplishment. Hopefully my son can say the same one day)

They are definitely one of the favorites (top 5)

 

[Vols4us]

I get that it takes all types of folks. Old school says team first, don't attract attention to yourself, attract it to your team since it takes all of the individuals to come together and perform as one to do well in team sports. I never said look at me when playing team sports in HS or college. But that's just me and how I was taught.

That does not mean Maurer cannot attract attention to sobriety as an individual. That's honorable. But that tweet followed many tweets that were immature (to be nice) at best and stupid at their worst. So, for you young rascals - is it the body of work or the individual tweet that matters or something else that matters? I need to understand non-boomer (since we are evil apparently) thinking better. People see the body of work and go, "That dude is a few bricks shy of a load." Posters see that sobriety tweet only and say, "What a great thing he just did."

What say you? Educate an old codger.

 

[Catbone]

People that constantly post on social media are self centered cringe

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Yeah. My comment had to do with his "body of work". Obviously we should be proud of his sobriety. However, fair or unfair, employers, scouts, coaches, etc tend to use Social Media activity and content to form opinions about a person. I have had perspective Asst Coaches I couldn't or wouldn't hire because of things they posted. Have a nephew who's lost 2 jobs and 1 marriage the same way. Maurer is a young man who has obvious struggles with Mental Health and Substance abuse. My opinion is that someone needs to help him make better decisions on what he puts out for the world to see. In the words of former Alabama Governor Forrest Gump: That's all I have to say about that.

 

[GiggerVol]

I have a nephew who is 22 and is active on social media. He's a hard-working son of a gun and started his own handy man business last year. I cringe at some of the immature and unwise things he posts sometimes trying to explain to him that, while he may think some of it is cute or funny, that stuff gets out everywhere and could cost him tons of potential jobs and to think twice before hitting that send button.

Who plays the Wii anymore? Such a loser. SMH.

I don’t understand what ppl gain from posting on social media.. I don’t know what I was thinking when I was younger and did it. It just doesn’t make sense to me anymore

Shut up and play your Pong, Grandpa.

Go race some of those little Asian kids in Mario Kart. You're probably mac daddy.

Yes, it can be career suicide. I take part in lots of hiring panels for the company work for. I always check social media to see maturity level of the interviewee.

This!
Social support isn't what it used to be. When we grew up, you had to go see people to connect.

The last 10 to 15 years changed how people get to know and support each other. I was able to teach yoga and make professional connections around the world because of social media. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I received support and help from all over the place and from people I've never actually met face to face.
