Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

It's gotten out of hand. I can only equate it to crying wolf. I've stopped getting excited for several of the 'good sourced' people around here because if this was baseball, they would be batting well below .200

I understand recruiting and teenagers does not mean easy answers, but the amount of impact we give to a few peoples statements has just as good of odds as flipping a coin.

I've seen threads & posts erased, all of which at one point had 'something to speak of' / rumor wise. Moseley eluded to it on his blog yesterday. It's not worth the time, effort, or energy to get your hopes up -- regardless of what certain individuals say.

It can really detract from real meaningful information when half of the posts are asking four people what they have 'heard', and then the rest of those people 'responding'.

The greatest value this forum will have is if steps are taken to organize information that is reputable. Otherwise it's just a wild goose chase and we're all along for the ride.
