BREAKING: RB Sean Morris is NU's second commit of the day

Not much, considering we don’t offer inducements to incoming HS recruits.
Would you care to elaborate more on this? By this, you mean we don't offer exceptional inducements to any recruits beyond whatever our standard True Freshman stipend is, correct? Also, does such a stipend/base salary exist, or is all our collective's money going to targeted inducements? Also also, what lawsuit are you referring to, and why does it need to be dealt with in order to offer inducements (or perhaps you were making a dig specifically at CMC)?

This is all subject to change pending the House settlement, but NU doesn’t offer “signing bonuses” to HS recruits. Instead they all get the same “base salary” from TrueNU with the opportunity to earn more with on-field performance.

The shot at CMT was due to his openly almost bragging about becoming party to players’ lawsuits against Fitz and NU.
 
Don't forget the occasional visit from Alaskacat (or was he at yours) though he still posts. Also the Pumpkin Smasher (well he smashed them when we played IL).
Our friend from Alaska divided his time between our tailgate and uber's, as I posted earlier. He brought smoked salmon and reindeer sausage to both locations. I'm waiting for him to read this so he can post photos of both groups, which I know he has available in his massive photos library.

Trying to remember the handle of the Pumpkin Smasher (he hated the Pumpkin Eaters and liked to do it around Uber's tailgate)). I originally met him at Rose Bowl and we were talking about what Pont did to the program. Played LB I believe and I think he was in IT. Have not seen him post in a long while and have changed lots a lot over the years so have not seen him either.

You're thinking of The Waterboy, right?
 
Actually at one of our Illinois games, when they were having a losing season not long after a Rose Bowl appearance, he orchestrated a tailgaters' group cheer: "ROSE BOWL TO NO BOWL". Nothing like some good schadenfreude.
 
If you all do this then you should clearly hold the Purple Party at Strief’s brewery (they serve delicious food too!).

I think FloridAlum was friends with his parents so a gathering there would be most apropos.
That would have to be the place. Who would get parties started again, though?

Might be something I’d consider. Will need some help though. I’m arriving on Thursday, so will be able to get things squared away the Friday prior. Maybe @NU Houston and I can join forces to organize. Holding the event at Zach’s is a no-brainer. @FloridAlum would have been all over this. 🫤
 
Cary (willycat) helped organize the mini Purple Party at the Rice game in 2010, since FloridAlum couldn't make the trip to Houston for that one. Haven't seen him post here in years now.
I remember that one well. It was my older grandson's first college football game, so my wife and I went with our daughter and grandson. I have a very nice photo album from that game. 'Cats won, there were fireworks, and a good time was had by all.

I'm in. We can put something together. It doesn't necessarily need to be at a FloridAlum level, though we could do that if there's strong demand. Before the Cal game in 2013, we had a more informal mini Purple Party, where people visited and just ordered their own food and drinks.

It's easy as long as you have the location. Doc Rugby put it together for the Cal game in Berkelely I believe. Just tell the venue how many you anticipate and let everybody pay for their own food and drink.

And best of all, we didn't have to watch the game on OwlVision!
 
Do you Predict that he’ll flip to the Green Wave like the other recruit???
No, just hope he doesn't flip, or stay here a year, we have another mediocre season, then he flips. I am no longer in the prognostic game anymore. Nothing surprises me at all. The state of college football is not very good and the fun is slowly ebbing away for me. I was thinking about joining the Rock again, but the internet gives me enough info. I am just not into it knowing that we have a zero chance at a B1G title.

I submitted an inquiry regarding a potential Purple Party on Friday evening, August 29th at Port Orleans Brewery. Will keep everyone posted on their response. I’ll start a new thread at that time.
