The players are not jumping ship. When one person mentions one thing to someone else and a third party overhears the conversation, rumors start flying around.

Sheet. This is very, very disturbing news and I'm getting a most upsetting feeling.

You and me both Freak.

I'm glad to read something positive but, unfortunately, every indication that I have seen has been to the contrary. I truly hope it is nothing but BS.

These aren't rumors.

Until they are verified and reported somewhere other than a message board, yes they are.

In that case, it's a rumor to you.

If there's one thing I've learned over the years its that you can trust "rumors" on this site to be pretty accurate. BG is not OSU or Notre Dame. WEe're a smaller school with a tighter knit student body/fanbase. The rumors that are posted on this site have at least an 85% hit rate, probably higher. It's very rare that a rumor is posted here and it doesn't become public knowledge within a week or two.

I heard today that I'm waking up with $100 million and a harem of strippers to do my bidding.

Sorry, TG, but that rumour has no foundation in reality whatsoever. My bank manager says cash was mistakenly paid to you, but was redirected to me on discovery of the error. Then, by way of apology, he said that all charges relating to this sorry episode will be debited to you, but you never know with bank managers, so we'll just have to see what happens. As for the harem, they're mine.

These aren't rumors.

After talking to some of the teams staff, the only one of these rumors that has any solid base right now is Ellis, but that still isn't even for sure. If someone talks to Rojas any time soon and then talks to me we'll know for sure.

Mahoney didn't quit, he is a personal friend of mine. He had a staff infection in his knee. He was VERY upset at the idea that he couldn't make it back in time for the Miami game, he kept reassuring me that he would be. He'll be back.

I'm not saying that isn't true, but I am fairly close with one of the players who went and talked to Mahoney when he heard he was going to quit. Mahoney said he was going to Eastern Illinois...but maybe your right.
For the teams sake I hope you are.

I thought Frericks was going to go a 1AA in Illinois...are these Illini jerks stealing our players?

Kids leave all the time...the possible Ellis departure is bothersome because he was singled out in the media for some things that weren't his fault entirely.

The Machiavellian side of my personality wonders if the media comments form Brandon weren't made because he wanted Ellis to leave or,knew he was going to leave and wanted to minimize his loss.

I hope they were meant as a means of challenging him to improve no matter how oddly worded they seemed.
