This is just my 2 cents worth. People join various sites for basically the same reasons. They want to learn and read as much positive scoop about their school as they can get, period. I think in Paul's response of not traveling to MSU games my leave sorta of a bad taste in 247 member's mouth. They want to see the folks they buy information from to be as excited as they are. It has been obvious Paul and crew haven't traveled like some others who have a business like theirs. Their write-ups hit the boards as quick as the fans and they would comment during the game, on the in game threads. I could care less either way. but I did hold Steve's write-ups in a different light for the simple reason he put forth the effort of going. People want to see effort, not when its conveniuante to go. 247 does a great job on Big Dawg recruiting camp. Its local. That's my point, payee's want to feel like they are getting something for their money. The effort takes care of that.
