National Signing Day 2012: Butthurt Liveblog

Today is the big day folks and that means kids will be picking where they want to spend the next three to five years of their lives. As we've said multiple times here at the site, don't be a jerk. Really, just don't. It isn't funny. You can't pass it off as being a joke once someone says it isn't ok. Really, the only thing that should be done when you don't get a recruit is wish him luck and move on. Period.

Throughout the day I'll be pulling some tweets as we've done with Gunner Kiel, James Summers, Joshua Garnett. I'll also be on the twitter letting people know it isn't ok. If you see it say something. I'm not commanding a protracted fight with some random internet moron, but I am saying let people know you don't agree with them. Ignoring it, as many of us have been doing for years, has not helped. Time for a different, more active approach.

I'll warn you, it gets ugly.

So he's going to help Stanford get to the Rose Bowl, win it and be an All-American? I think the Cardinal faithful will take that. Learn history moron.

So much wrong here. A kid that never committed to LSU for starters. Secondly, he's a traitor? For leaving the state? Does that mean every non-Louisiana player on your roster is a traitor? Was Gunner Kiel set up to be a traitor? Russell Shepard is a traitor? If you don't go to school in your state then you're a traitor? Does the school matter? Had he gone to ULL or Tulane would that make him an un-traitor?

No sir, you are.

Dave Frayser helping Nebraska get on the board here. Asshat. Kid goes to Stanford and you tell him to fuck? But apparently you've got a real braintrust in your followers group because two other people thought you were spot on. Nebraska doesn't need fans like you. No one does.

Change from Cal to Washington and it gets Dan stoked. Decide that UDub isn't the place for you and he's possibly a mental person. A mental person who is a woman. I can see this Jordan Payton situation getting worse as west coast people see it finalized.

Simply stated Wisconsin angst.

Douche bag. Goes to LSU, not a douche bag. Got it.

Spin much? The guys were sure happy during the season, especially on the defensive side. I also love when impossible records are given to teams and it is a record that the team hasn't had in a long time. Only thing that tops this? The impossible bowl game possibility.

12:27


Just so we're all clear here, this is one of my favorite forms of hate. This is a variation of the "you'd be so good here but at that place you won't play." Basically my team isn't as good as the team you signed with. GO TEAM!

12:15


Well sir, you don't pull punches do you? I know the Backyard Brawl is a big deal but you do realize you don't actually play in it right? He made a choice to make himself happy, can he live?

You seem like a really good person. Seriously. The best type of person. Wishing the worst on some high school kids for not going to your school. You really know how to win friends and influence people. Dick.

Ah yes. The classic "his loss" because he didn't go to Notre Dame. Go to ND be amazing in 20 years, don't go to Notre Dame, flip burgers. Sucks for Case Keenum's wife, do you think she knew when she married him that he was destined for Wendy's middle management?

This is a true winner. The leader in the clubhouse of the ridiculous, pathetic tweets from fans. Not only is Fowler a "fuckin bitchass nigga" because he didn't go to Florida State, but, he's also "ugly as fuck." Funsize S. Nik tell us how you really feel. At FSU is he spongeworthy? Oh and hoping he gets hurt. Truly, special.

10:33


Going to Missouri makes you mentally challenged. Or does not going to Arkansas, OU or Texas make you special?

A huge let down Pat Kramer? Let down from what? Kid stays close to home and it's a let down. I'm guessing if you don't sign with Pat's school or some football factory it's a let down. This comment is a let down.

Not only did the Peoples_cHaMp03 want this high schooler real bad but apparently because they didn't get the high schooler they want this high schooler is now a bitch. LOL. So you know it's funny haha.

10:02


Simple but easy, U MAD BRO?

Ah, a high school kid sounded like a high school kid. Not sure how many college students you've heard on camera but as a guy that's done plenty of interviewing of high schoolers Harvey-Clemons was, you know, normal. Also, it is "indicated" since we're being sticklers.
