Let me guess: Coach Sixx didn’t want this kid anyway? I can’t imagine why MSU is getting boat raced at in-state recruiting with Mr. Personality running the show. “Here’s where we play football games, or whatever. If you sign with us, you’ll be exactly whelmed. Or don’t. I don’t really care. So, are we about done here, because I have book club in 20 minutes.”
I understand Sixx’s recruitment ‘closer speech’ includes a vim-less, long-winded story about how his 15-year old dullard 2nd-cousin, Cliff, tried to save the 1993 sugar beet harvest.
The tractors were stalled in the field as the Sixx family hierarchy attempted to repair them before a weeks long rainstorm hit.
A couple of days passed, as the storm clouds gathered on the horizon, Cliff asked, “Has anybody checked if there’s gas in the tractors?”
It turns out that Cliff was correct and the tractors wouldn’t start because they were out of fuel.
Unfortunately Cliff didn’t speak up in time and the rain and hail devastated the Sixx farm’s 1993 harvest.
For punishment, Cliff was dropped off at a Hutterite Colony outside of Williston and was never heard from again.
The moral of the story is that those that don’t speak up and grab an opportunity are often left behind.
It’s not a very good story.
