Fair warning - don't make this thread political.

"Let me call you back Timberlake, the President wants to discuss high hedging vs. drop coverage"

Does anyone pick up unknown phone numbers under the age 60? I'd probably not pick up if Biden somehow called me too.

 

[AzHusky]

If the number is not shown as somebody I know I don't answer it either. Too much spam out there to take an unknown call. If it's important they will leave a message and I will return the call.

I answer every single call. I just like that DH was out on the work/recruiting trail. Joe was probably just calling to beg DH not to run against him in 2024. DH would win. Check my avatar.

Do they get to eat when they go to visit him? You know the food at the white house is that real s***.

If you are DH, you answer every call you can. You never know if it's a recruit or their parents calling.

If he knew the dude was going to select Kansas he would have taken the call. Oh well.

I won't even pick up 90% of calls from people I know, if it's an unknown number it's never getting answered

Thankfully Hurley said it was a 2024 recruit.

Level 1 recruiting violation and potentially a federal election law violation.

 

[Austin316]

Damn telemarketers calling again.

He has all their phone numbers. I'm guessing you are older.

 

[husky429]

I answer every single call.

And this is why you get spam every day, and I get it once a month.

This is idiotic.

You can't possibly be important enough to know the implications of what you just said. Nothing personal.

Emmert would have flagged this as a major violation, taken away the championship and awarded it to Duke.

Maybe that's the case, but if you're DH do you hang up on a recruit to answer a call from a random number?

It wouldn't have been random, even if you don't have the number saved it would appear on your caller ID "United States Government"

 

[Chin Diesel]

Call me old fashioned but shouldn't president's comm team get hold of UConn comm team, verify availability of Hurley, get Hurley online and then patch him through to POTUS?

Kinda weird to think Biden would already have Hurley's phone number and know how to get hold of him.

What happened to good ole days of burner cells and minions taking cold calls for you?

Hurley said directly in his interview that it came up as a 212 number. Did you read the article? Do you think he's a liar?

I would imagine he gets a lot or calls from gov't officials as part of his job. Why would he assume it's the president?

I really hope any phone line coming from white house personnel doesn't patch through as USG. I hope.

I didn't read the article. I'm just stating from experience. I work for the VA, have a Goverment issued cell phone. Thats how my number appears when I call people.
