I'd buy more Ames Lager if I could find it...

Only Ames Lager goes to the Collective. We Will receives zero from the other beers. We do get a small percentage of the Iowa State vodka.
The gunnerfund is over $1,000! And thank you all, we are fighting off the big dogs for now thanks to all of your support. Could always use more of course! It’s wild out there.
Imagine if we didn’t have a bagman as skilled as Brent Blum! Thanks for all your hard work
And that is the 1858 Vodka from Iowa Distilling, right? I've been loading up on the Ames Lager otherwise.
It's too bad we only had Abdelmasseh running the bag for Fred and not Blum. Rashad Vaughn would have just been the tip of the iceberg
Your either in on the take or you get taken. Bravo to Gunner for positioning himself In.
Some might say it's the first positive thing he's done on this site! Not all heroes wear capes.
Designated 2023 as my get out of credit card debt year, but it's hard to justify not throwing $100 to the cause. @brentblum I'll hit you again for BB in the spring. Hopefully this time next year I'll have freed up bigger donations. I only post this to hold myself to it.
I recognize you can't give ALL the details/nuances......BUT....SO curious what this looks like for those involved.
Like say great player for us, JOEY FOOTBALL, is a hot commodity......how do we find out who we are fighting off? Does someone call a staffer? You/WeWill? "Hey, Joey's uncle here......XYZ university said they would give him $XXX to transfer...what do you got?" Or are players going directly to WeWill to share they may consider leaving?
Are the players shopping themselves? I can't imagine that would go over well with coaches? Or is that the new thing to be able to "let the market test your value"
I'm sure the nuances look different for each, but really been curious what this really looks like (because IT SEEMS that our RBs that said they may hit the portal (and since have) didn't travel...wouldn't anyone else getting "big dog" attention (who may stay) be seen in a similar way by coaches?
Appreciate the questions. Generally the college football world is a pretty small place so word gets out fast when contacts are made between parents/agents and collectives/others close to the program. There is a difference between receiving an offer and shopping for an offer and I’ll leave it at that.
Thanks....appreciate that. I'm sure in a few years you and CW can do a podcast to share some stories.
Fascinating stuff and thank you for all you do for the programs.
If it hasn't already been done, I'm officially giving Blum the nickname "Bag man Blum". I mean this in the nicest, most positive way possible.
