⛹️‍♂️ Thijs De Ridder Official Thread

I like this thought. One I haven’t spent enough time wrapping my mind around De Ridder yet to have considered. I can see it, though! He does seem like a more physical and athletic Funk.

I remember during one of last season’s post game interviews, iMac mentioned that Taine was his roommate.

Years ago a bunch of guys lived in a house together. With this apartment setup Gill telling a story of the time he came down to the kitchen late one night and saw Brogdon eating an onion like someone would eat an apple much less believable.

My fraternity called those pledge apples.

Obviously the wife got the final say when it came to the lighting fixtures. Nice home tho.

Still one of my all-time favorite stories.

That Gill made up the entire thing while telling it in front of Brogdon just makes it perfection.

Wait, I missed that aspect of the story. Gill told it with Brodgon present and listening to it? And both kept a straight face?

And here I was thinking it was a true story and my hero was a weirdo :joy:

I found the original interview with WaPo. The article had a quote from Brogdon immediately before the Gill story so I always thought they were interviewed together, but reading it again its actually kinda vague on how the interview was conducted and who was there for it (and Brogdon quote might have come from some other time).

I also like that when Brennan followed up on the onion story in a later interview, Perrantes immediately declared that the rumor was 100% true when in fact it was not.

Yes, I really hope Graham is correct, but I will feel better when someone else reports it.

I wonder if Graham has better contacts with the new staff. It was a big shake up, I guess we’ll see if he put into the work to generate some good will.

Not sure how much access he has, in light of what he also published last night….

De Ridder finally followed a UVA account (Wahoops). Maybe that’s old and I missed it but I had checked before.

I guess you could enroll in college without being cleared by the NCAA…

Maybe he just really wants to go to school.

Can always walk on and still get an NIL deal, right?
