He certainly did have a bizarre childhood. His parents forced him to break up with his high school sweetheart by using a written letter. Additionally, his dad was constantly having affairs with women right in front of him at the golf course where he grew up. Now, none of this excuses his behavior. He was a grown man and he made his own decisions.

Truth be told, there are many people who would have done the same thing he did had they been in his shoes. Reminds me of this funny bit from Ron White.

Heard a story about Micheal Jordan & Jeter turning out a very green and naive Tiger back in the day in New York.

First time I’ve ever seen a volunteer fan want a pencil neck city slicker👀😭🤣🤣🤣 worlds ending🤣🤣 but I wish they would..I know they won’t but none of it happened under Danny and shouldn’t hold that against him if Bruce ever makes it into the interview room.deep down we all probably wouldn’t mind having Bruce back.

HS WR’s Pope recruited and signed:
‘23 4 star Nathan Leacock (1 catch 13 yards)
‘23 3 star Nate Spillman (no career stats)
‘24 5 star Mike Matthews ( 7 catches 90 yards 2 td’s)
‘24 4 star Braylon Stayley ( 3 catches 21 yards)

Kodi Burns mostly recruited the ‘22 guys, which they regressed each year anyway.

Our transfer WR’s never made significant leaps either. Bru gets the benefit of a doubt with his injury, Thornton had potential but couldn’t stay healthy

Pope has proven he can’t recruit or develop. I think we need to get rid of him asap

Kelsey Pope was the WR coach in 2022 when Hyatt blew up. He was also Bru’s first and only WR coach at UT and Squirel’s coach as a freshman when he started.

We can discuss it all, but let’s at least get on the same page as to the facts.

Hey enki check out these 2 I caught yesterday on a bomber A, they're over a pound now. Fingers crossed they go on the bed this year. I was amazed at how healthy they are.

Just a friendly tip after they get to around 1.5lb and bigger try to hold them straight up and down like you are in the second pic if you hold them like the first pick when they get bigger it can dislocate their bottom jaw and they want be able to survive and the thing is you want even notice or know it has been dislocated. Those are some healthy looking fish though .
