- Several players mentioned on message boards are not correct. Both feel it's not fair to those falsely reported and feel Coach D should step up to clear the air because now the rumors are out there on message boards and social media.

We'll now that the rumors, that I put out there, are already out there...minus well just tell us everything

The Izzone should chant "Shut Up Hondo" on Thursday. Seriously this guy is an idiot and its pretty evident that he has never had a big story or covered a big story before. He spews his trash, makes accusations, cites students and parents as sources, and hopes beyond hope something sticks or he gets something right. To make matters worse he has Kyle Austin on, who sounds like he might be somewhere on the spectrum and he's trying to get him to agree with some of the nonsense and Kyle's like nah, not gonna go that far, ie King.

Pinky needs to cool his jets and use his peanut brain for a minute instead of it just rattling inside his dome like an empty can of spray paint. Why would anyone, including Dantonio, answer any questions or attempt to talk about an issue that is at this juncture is only a few steps above a rumor? Then if or when there are charges filed, why would that same person or persons talk about an ongoing legal matter? Has Hondo never watched Law and Order? This is basic shit, yet he's out here acting like Dantonio should be out here everyday giving updates on 100+ guys and what they ate and when they shit. Oh, and if Dantonio or anyone else wants to take a vacation in February who flipping cares. The guy works more hours in one year than Pinky does in 5 years, he's entitled to a break.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least but it then begs the question why do you give some boner, donar, fanboy, self created media member continued access to your programs and athletes?

I really just find it hard to believe some parent is crying to Pinky because their child has been falsely rumored and they can't talk to Dantonio because he on vacation. Most level headed parents would say, if you didn't do, who cares. When the truth comes out everyone will know the kid didn't have anything to do with it. If you're really, truly so broken up about it tell the Athletic Department you're calling your own presser to set the record straight or simply put out a statement of your own. You honestly have zero reason to use Pinky as your middle man, when there are other real journalists that could get your message out in a better manner. It would be much more believable coming from, well, pretty much anybody else.

Hondo is panicking.
In less than a year he's gone from being ecstatic when Scout Media bought his site he worked on for year to watching Scout Media declare bankruptcy.

CBS bought Scout Media in an auction ordered by the bankruptcy court. Hondo will probably have the plug pulled soon because CBS doesn't need two "insiders". Worse is CBS now owns the name to Hondo's site. His only option may be to start from ground zero agan.

whipcatlicks wrote:From Hondo's Podcast from 2-17-2017:

-Kyle Austin co-hosted the show, who confirmed most of what Hondo said.

-There are "several" to up to 13 players on the team with a Red Card (in trouble).

- A student sent Hondo a selfie with a player in class who was joking with her about all the other Red Carded players on the team. This kind of open mocking of fellow players was worrisome to both Hondo and Kyle.

-Practice is probably completely closed to Media all spring (Kyle wasn't surprised). Both agree this would create a feeding frenzy around the program where rumors would run wild.

- Several players mentioned on message boards are not correct. Both feel it's not fair to those falsely reported and feel Coach D should step up to clear the air because now the rumors are out there on message boards and social media.

- There was another famous "Players-Only Meeting" on Feb 10th, which went horribly wrong.

- Unlike Hollis, Mark Dantonio took off on vacation to Costa Rica. He was not around for this infamous players-only meeting, only contributing to the problems of pending charges, turmoil in program because he wasn't there. His absence from the program was not taken well by people above Coach D.

- As a result of this players-only meeting, a couple parents contacted Hondo in tears because their son is not involved in any wrongdoing and Coach D was not around to address and clarify it. He still hasn't and the parents of innocent kids are not happy.

- At least 2 parents are super pissed that some of the "Red Carded" players are also on the "Eagles Council" (the leadership council) and Coach D has not done anything to address it or remove them. They specifically asked Hondo to bring this up at the next press conference.

Start at 13:30, then the next two segments:

What do you think he did down in Costa Rica.? Sounds like a great getaway.

Costa Rica is amazing - love the Pacific side.

been down a few times.. good surfing, some good cycling.. Imperial beers.. little corner convenience stores with cats walking around. Pretty sweet hang.

You haven't lived until you land in San Fransisco. Lookng out the side windows thinking you're in the water. So, do you think Dantonio surfed like Bob? I think it would be great to get some pics of him on a surfboard this week.

we should get Hondo on it.

Not "on it" as in a surfboard in Costa Rica - nobody wants to see that.. by "on it" I mean getting pictures of Dantonio catching a wave. Win/win - a) we get a picture of Dantonio surfing and b) it would keep Hondo away from disseminating fake news.

I have scoured the internet for the picture of him decked out in a pink shirt on the sidelines at Notre Dame - we won in OT.. a rush off the right side and down the sidelines.. there was a picture of Hondo with this goofy look on his face wearing what amounted to a pink camping tent.

I wish I could find it.

this thread has a little bit of everything.. football, media references.. fake news.. casual discussion of early onset diabetes as it relates to Hondo.

so I'll take it down the fashion track and predict that he has an impeccable collection of jorts.

He seems like the type of guy that is really insecure about wearing shorts. Either because he has fat disgusting legs, or he has scrawny, hairless legs. I'm going to predict that he has an impressive selection of cargo jeans with hammer loops.

Yep. Many of us are upset with that radio show, so we're "throwing shade" I guess. It is irresponsible if it's not true, but it's his show. If he hasn't slandered anyone, have at it. So the anger might be mixed with jealousy. But damn, the guy has a job I would walk on broken glass for.

No, you wouldn't. You would never give out confidential information, you certainly wouldn't give out 'fake' or misleading information and you wouldn't want to have to pander to fanatics so you could put food on the table and a roof over the wife's head.

Maybe you would like his lifestyle of getting up late, following the program, etc if you were independently wealthy. I understand the powerball jackpot is over $400 real large; better make a beeline down to your local lottery agent.
