"new house for momma, new job for dad"

Postby KnuckleStang » Wed Dec 05, 2007 10:54 am

Anybody catch the recent CSTV interview with Tim Brown. Interviewer notes that his final 5 schools were ND, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Iowa and SMU, than asks what kind of "contract offer" did SMU put forth? Brown laughed and said "pretty significant," and said it included "money, cars, girlfriends, new house for momma, new job for dad," etc. Said at 17, if he hadn't had better advice, he would have gone to SMU for the wrong reasons. His parents said, "No, no, you don't want to do that, they shouldn't be doing that. I'd love to have a new house, but not like that."

Also said ND was the only school to make any mention of his education during the the recruiting process. One of the schools (he didn't say it was SMU) said if you go to class, you're guaranteed a B, and if you do any work at all, you get an A.

And I never realized TB was recruited by Gerry Faust. I always thought it was Holtz.

Yeah? And what did OU and Iowa offer? Nothing. That's BS.

This is the stigma we're stuck with because no one else who's deserved the DP has ever gotten it. And there have been plenty.

We should have offered that [in]in the future[/i] he could be tracked, by people all over the world, in a private jet prompting the largest ever visits to something called a "web site".

Damn, why didn't we pull out all the stops!!! It's okay, we beat him at the Aloha Bowl anyhow.

If we did deserve it, tell me why the others didn't? :shock:
