Big slice for what could be big news

A lot of people on this board ought to be ashamed of yourselves right now. For years a huge number of you questioned his ethics. When barry rohrssen was at Pitt you hinted he was playing games. Once he got to Manhattan you claimed he was under-cutting especially in the recruitment of Rhemal Brown. And once he got to Kentucky you haven't stopped.
Now that we might be his next stop all of that has stopped and its "we need slice" "we need slice"

You can't have it both ways. Slice comes, great, but we all better be ready when he's caught up in the wake of the emplousion once they catch up with Calipari again.

I don't think anybody needs to be ashamed. We are all tired of losing. I know I've changed my tune. Programs, including ours, have been paying players for decades. I'm over it. Bring Barry home! Barry doesn't do anything the others don't.

I agree. It's time to do away completely with under the table payments in brown paper bags. Let's get sponsors like Pirate's Booty to put their names on the bags, like the old trick or treat bags, and hand them out when prospects make their official visits. With sponsors footing the bill, all the school needs to pay for is a doorbell on CA.

Since we really are all tired of losing, have a few of those bags available to give to refs before games. When team captains greet the refs in pre game, each ref gets a nice little taste, with more to come after a W.

Well I meant it tongue-in-cheek, I shoulda put one of those winky things. I'm sure I've been critical of Barry when he was working at Pitt, because well, I hated Pitt. It's not a hypocrisy. It's just what fans do. Barry Rohrssen is just a very good recruiter. Anything slung at him when Pitt was the enemy is likely just that. Mud slinging. It's also jealousy. No doubt there were some rumors and rumblings about things during the Kyle Anderson recruitment, but all unsubstantiated as far as anyone knows. I'd still rather have him on our side.

I didn't take your post seriously. You know the reality anyway: If Slicey is sleazy he would know his success will be severely hampered at SJU, by having to do things above board. By the way, I do think handing out "gift bags" to recruits on official visits would help. Maybe celebrity gift bag givers, like Robert DeNiro in character as Jimmy Burke, would help seal the deal.

My history with Redmen.com is a long one, old-timers will back this up. But it was all too much, The Maven-TominSalem war, Pittt-gate, the Keita Cash, the Hatten-Shaw weed fiasco, Norm's malaise, Curtis Johnson, etc. that and my Tour in Iraq and stint in prison all lead to me becoming a ghost. But I've always been here watching.

(I also had 4 kids in 5 years and a job, this habit is a time suck.)

Hey, I know there are literally hundreds of posters, maybe a few thousand who don't post at all and always read. This is a great site, with tons of really good guys. Even guys I disagree with, I've found to be great guys in person. When I'm at the garden, and Paul would like to hear this, when I chat with someone in adjacent seats who are big fans, invariably I mention this site and not only read redmen.com 98% of the time but know all the main posters by screen name.

Sorry if my post called you out on anything. Have a great day.

Oh, yea, and thanks for your service in the military. Brave guys like you volunteer to keep us safe and preserve our freedom.

Dusty (and I) have Redmen.com T shirts, do you?

Is yours a medium?

I think that in order not to offend larger men, we should do away with X, XXL, and XXL designations. There should simply be a small, medium, and large extra-large.

Question: Was Marty Funkhouser at the California redmen.com get together?

It is true and somewhere I have photographic evidence, January 11, 2003 and though I did serve it was in 1990-1's cake walk and I was joking about the prison gents!!!

I had a lot more respect for you when I thought you did hard time. Actually it's not a bad guise to promote - a poster who did serious time would take a lot less crap from other posters on here than someone without that important life experience.

Are you saying that an ex con is more intimidating than a CPA? I should change my name. Actually Fun makes me more nervous than anyone else. I picture him being on James Spader's Blacklist. Just not sure what number he would be.

I don't recall many if any negative post about Rohrssen and his "ethics" on this Board. While people were not happy we were losing New Yorkers to Pitt, that had more to do with their program and our coaches. Nor do I recall any such talk involving him and Kentucky. So who are these huge number of posters and their posts that I must have missed?

Whats the latest news on Slice?

All this good redmen news is killing my business. I'm just going to put everyone on extension so I can keep up with all the good news.

I thought of you as M Arillac to this very moment. Now you are just crappy yellow bricks - the building, not the burgers.

You can take the Ex out of the Ex con, but the con remains.

When I studied accounting, I was told CPA stood for Constant Pain in the Ass. :cheer:

My wife will verify that is accurate.
