Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[TheBigOne10]

What an anwesome experience. Just talked to the Dylan Dreiling for a solid 10 minutes. So gracious and cool. One of the bests to ever wear the orange and white. And Cal stopped by too! Legends

 

[BigSteve09]

I did but I dropped them
I live in southern Indiana and the cost became too much for travel and tickets

I've been toying with the idea of getting tix and just making the drive up and back on gamedays. I'd love to come for the weekend but hotels are the issue.

We drive up from fort mill sc - about 4 hours away. We don’t usually stay the night unless it’s a night game. Makes for long days but it when you consider some of the games we’ve seen the past few years - it’s been worth it.

I got season tickets in 2022 and there’s been a number of classic games during that time. From rushing the field twice vs bama, beating Florida twice, to dog walking uscjr and kensucky at scary neyland etc

....This is a really dumb, not-very-deep post. But you still read it.

It can also hinder you in sports/ life if you allow it to control you.

Yeah, "No Fear" is more about conquering and controlling your fears than it is being stupid.

It's a mid-size Buick, right?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

how many people on here have season tix?

I don't know how to feel about this. Rivals is Trash, but On3 is good...

The On3 guy is pretty good at building these businesses. He did 247 too didn't he?

Yeah. Shannon Terry.

Edit: Apparently he also owned Rivals.com for a while, but didn't found that.

From Wikipedia On3.com article:

On3.com was founded by Shannon Terry.[6] Along with a business partner, he sold his first company, college recruiting site Alliance Sports, to Rivals.com for $3 million, which he re-purchased for $500,000 when it fell into bankruptcy.[7] Terry kept the Rivals.com branding and rapidly turned a profit using a subscription-based model, growing to 230,000 subscribers before it was sold to Yahoo! in 2007 for a reported $98 million.[7] In 2010, he founded 247Sports, which was acquired by CBS in 2015 for an undisclosed amount,[8] though he continued to serve as CEO until resigning in 2020.[9] Terry announced his new venture, On3.com, in 2021, in an effort to combine his expertise in recruiting and college sports media with the "untapped space around NIL opportunities", referring to name, image, and likeness.[2][3]

Time is a flat circle apparently.

Me too. I dropped mine during the end of the Butch era.

Looks like @Weezer has been peeing all over the yard.

That is exactly what happened.

First order of business (hopefully): fire Pat Forde

Dude just waits until his non-compete expires and then creates a new recruiting site. Then sells it once it gets big enough. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Fantastic sport.

Shannon Terry started Rivals, sold it to Yahoo, started on3, and is now buying it back. In the middle of all that, he started and sold 247.

 

[Butch Jones]

Woah. Not sure if this guy is any good on paper but the HS players that play professionally overseas tend to develop quicker than those that do not. Surprised he's allowed to play "amateur" basketball in the NCAA now.

While it's understandable not to know where Forde is now because no one cares, he's been at Sports Illustrated for a while now.
