Meltdown mode will be when Patrick Patterson signs with Ole Miss, and they're left at the altar for Rueben Randle, Kendall Kelly, Kenny Bell, Patterson AND Chad Bumphis in the same season.
This is a very real possibility. Tim Watts of BOL thinks they get both Patterson and Kelly. Dude thinks they will get everyone that are in reach, plus he added UF's Teague to the mix, for a total of 8 recruits, giving Bama 30 commits. And I am not even beginning to lie. Blame him for "Meltdown Wednesday" when this happens: Myles goes to Tennessee or LSU Kelly goes to Clemson or LSU Richardson goes to Florida or LSU Patterson goes to Ole Miss or Tennessee Teague stays at Florida or goes to Tennessee
They only guy I think they're really almost guaranteed is Richardson, and even then I guess stranger things have happened. Man, what if Dre goes to Texas or Florida? It won't happen but can you IMAGINE how some of those fans would react?
The players above and the comments appear to be right on the money from what I have been reading. Gumps will be a bit disappointed on NSD The only one I am not confortable saying is right on is Richardson.. I think he will keep his committment to Bama
It would be the equivalent of Mike Scarborough saying we are getting Su'a Filo, Montgomery, Myles, Kelly, JJones and for good measure we're also going to steal Dubose from Florida. Just for some perspective for LSU fans. That's truly delusional, folks.
I dont visit any other sites except this one when it comes to football. I have heard this guys name mentioned from time to time because some of my co-workers are gump site freaks. They have memberships everywhere. The best info I ever get though is from my boss who wouldnt know what a message board was never mind partake in one. I asked him about Watts once and he said "pffft, that internet guy? The only thing he knows is whatever the water boy tells him."
The biggest disappointment, by far, for the gumps will be when they realize they won't go undefeated next season. It is absolutely mind blowing how many of them on tidefan think they won't lose a single game next year based on what they did last season. I have never seen a more delusional fanbase.
Oh yeah, they are delusional. I hate the Gumps. It's very well documented. I work in Mobile,Alabama and am surrounded by those dumb rednecks every day of my life. I am the only LSU fan in my office of about 45. They are certainly a delusional bunch. THAT is precisely why I am hoping NSD turns into a double holiday: NSD and NGMDD (National Gumps MeltDown Day). I can honestly say that I will be watching the recruits hoping that Bama gets jilted as LSU becomes the #1 class in the country. Kendall Kelly to Clemson? That's fine with me....as long as he breaks the Bama fan's hearts, I couldn't care less where he goes. We don't NEED him...the Gumps do. KK to Clemson is fine with me (but of course I'd like to see him become a Tiger:grin I hate the Gumps. That is all.
