    The quotes from Benning Potoa'e, Budda Baker, and countless others have painted a pretty clear picture. Kids like rap music, girls, cool sneakers and video games. But that doesn't mean they can't see through a fake, cheesy, used car salesman douchebag.

    It's called "sincerity." Petersen has it, sark doesn't, and kids know it.

    The sad part is that Emmert and Pool Boy were blown away by Sark during his interview.
    That's not surprising. Sark is the type of guy who is good at smiling and telling people what they want to hear.

    Especially the waitresses at Joey's. Allegedly...

    Meh. This is just classic confirmation bias. It's telling because we want it to be telling. But these exact comments are made by players every single time there's a regime change. Sometimes they're telling, sometimes they're not. Time will tell.

    Either way it will be interesting. 
    Couldn't have stated it better.

    Petersen hasn't shown he is able to recruit the edgy kids yet. Baker is nice but doesn't have that edge that the LA players Sark was able to land.

    Don't twist what i'm saying, I am not saying he can't I am just hearing he hasn't yet. Either way it will be interesting.

    If you don't know that black kids from Bellevue already have feces in their throats then I can't help you.

    So I agree with Ken Griswold? Wouldn't be the first time.

    I like bananas and blondes too.

    everyone thought Ty was sincere, and we all know how that turned out.

    ty was a sincere asshole. Players hated playing for him, and he alienated alumni. His treatment of former players should've earned him a good beating out behind the Dempsey Indoor.

    It doesn't sound like Petersen is taking the same approach.
