About students, inside info, "I talk with Coach",

[Aargh]

I don't think there's a prejudice against students. I don't think there's any problems when some posters have access to players and others don't.

The problem comes up when someone says, "I talked to _________, and they said..." Or, "I talked to the coach and here's what's happening...".

If you talk to the coaches or the players, please respect that those conversations were private. Respect and maintain the confidentiality of private conversations.

Those of us who've known players, have connections in the Athletic Dept., etc. generally don't put it on the Net. We may have heard something that isn't meant to get into the public or fuel Internet rumors.

If Ramon got his wheels detailed, added a new racing stripe - that's fine. If Ramon said he's never seen so many guys on one team working so hard, someone will ask why he didn't say "everybody" instead of "so many guys".

Rather than watch every word you type, it's better just to know you're a friend of someone, can talk to them freely - and not share that with the rest of us.

For most people who really know something, the reality of that coming to an abrupt end should be enough of a deterrent to keep your special knowledge out of public view. Violate that trust once, have it come back to bite you and you will never be trusted with anything ever again.

Thank You for bringing this up, Aargh.

Many people on here have connections to team so don't look for reverence and attention when you name drop.

I've actually been impressed that a few things I've heard or seen haven't made it on to this board from those too stupid to think before they post.

Nail on the head ;)

Yes. Those with inside knowledge would no longer have it if they reported everything on Shockernet. And eventually, if you do post everything, you'll quit getting that information.

Which is why you should just ignore anyone who comes on here to say I know coach will do/won’t do xy&z because he told me this and I talk to him all the time.

For some of you young’ns you’d probably be amazed and/or envious of the things discussed in PM’s that never hit the board…for which you will never be privy to.

This thread needs to die, quickly.

It is fast becoming a "Ha Ha, we're better than you because we have the right friends and you can't keep your mouths shut" thread....

[wsu789]

That's not the way I intended it fastbow. My point is, if you post everything you hear on the internet, you're not going to hear as much. It's human nature and it has certainly been my experience.

Think of it as advice from an old man who has been posting on this forum since it opened. Sometimes a little discretion goes a long way.

This one time. At Band Camp. I stuck my foot in my mouth when I let it be known that my cousin dates Greg Marshall's housekeeper's neice and she said...

Would those wheels be the 2.5 inch chrome spinners on his skateboard? Major bling!

I thought this thread concerned quotes like "I talk with Gisele Bundchen ... but then I wake up" (i.e. silly, humorous comments).

"I talk with coach Marshall often; `Would you like fries with that burger, coach Marshall?' "
