Big pops to Richard Davenport

[preach33]

Hey Hog fans - I wanted to take a moment to give pops to RD his recruiting info in the dem gaz is top notch. Especially todays info. I appreciate how he updates us on the travels of our coaching staff and the info on the recruits.

Top notch work Richard.  :razorback:

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

really like the columns.
He also gives his opinion on where specific recruits will go. Even said he felt great about our chances with adams.

he's alot better than that guy that sounds like he's talking with a mouth ful of marbles.

pops?

pops?

If you are - a wrestling fan. you would know that "pops" means that the crowd explodes when you enter the ring.

My avatar is Petrino.  I'm not a wrasslin' fan.  I just thought you were trying to say 'props'.

For what it's worth, I thought he was trying to say "props" too and was confused.

Today's article by Richard is "Pops" or I too am not a wrasslin fan so Awesome article RD, that would be my word!!

RD article always gives ya lots of the good stuff......

[Hogstocking]

I hope Adams commits so we can all big pops

[PigTimePlayer]

If it is a reference to wrasslin, I'm proud to say that I didn't get it either . . .

I do echo the sentiment of giving Mad Props to RD . . . he is the best read in the sports section.

This brings up a question which I've wondered about and will ask here, even though it shows my ignorance.  What's the origin of the term "props" when used to mean pay a compliment to someone?  Thanks.

[nughaud]

lol nobody says pops, Big Props to RD though, he does one hella job.

[notreseveredname]

no offence to wrestling fans or to you preach33, however I will add "pops" to the pet peeves word list that include words/phrases like "oh snap".

It's short for giving someone their "proper respect".

Thank you!  I've wondered a long time what it came from.  +1 (and props) to you.  (Now I don't feel stupid using that phrase).

[cdhogfan]

I would also like to send out some snaps and crackles to RD.

Richard Davenport is the best in the business by far.



Porkatarian out...

I'm not sure that's the correct way to use that.  A "pop" is the explosion of applause but I've never really heard it pluralized or used as "giving pops".  Doesn't really make sense.  That's like saying "I want to give Richard ovations for his great articles."

And my favorite is Mick Foley who was the king of the "cheap pop".  That's when the performer throws out the "It's great to be here in the BEST city in the world...LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS."  And the hometown crowd goes crazy.  Ahh, the cheap pop.

[Razorvet]

I think he meant to props. Good cover though. Pops to you preach.

[dougieritch]

Thanks Richard!

Too funny! +1

Yeah, but does he give us a "mystery" recruit?  (sarcasm)

[AFWarrior83]

I think he meant pRops...  I agree, TRG WPStewie, and TomHog make the recruiting section what it is!

[preach33]

sorry for the confusion guys

[preach33]

Ok I will not use it anymore

PROPS - there that is better.

[Dr Swineglove]

Excellent work Richard!

[sivad53]

Thanks for keeping us informed here on hogville Richard!

[Ramble on Barbershop]

WTH is POPS like in popcorn?

[PigPusher]

For what it's worth, I thought he was trying to say "props" too and was confused.

I think it may be some form of shorthand that some use. 

[SC Hogman]

He always gives us good info!
Great job! RD

[BrooklynRoss]

I was thinking "Pops" like the Boston Pops orchestra, frequently guest-conducted by John Williams.

Irregardless, I love that Davenport guy. Best recruiting articles I've ever seen dealing with the Razorbacks. I hope he doesn't get poached by a big-time publishing machine, although it would be good to see him be even more successful. He deserves it.

[Swine & Cheese Club]

He's definitely earning his money this month.  Great job, Richard!

Thanks to WPStewie and TomHog for all of your insight here too.

[Oklahawg]

So nice to see everyone read the entire thread before replying.

When I think of "pop" I think of something I'd talk about in the tavern.

Richard does wonderful work. I imagine his work has been tough after the regime change, finding out the new directions the staff is going with recruiting.
