If you're speaking metaphorically, how is this immature as opposed to competitive? Is it any different than a pro sports team signing a free agent?
Z went to a private school known for recruiting players away from public schools for it's football and basketball teams. And there was even some stealing of players from other private schools. Perhaps that is what he is referring to.
"Ok, we're down twelve to two with ten minutes left in the game... Zawodny!"
"Yes, Coach?"
"Here are the keys to my car. There's a quarterback in the trunk, picked him up a few nights ago. Go get 'im."
"Yes, Coach!"
Yeehhhh.. and after 100 years it will be dead engineer
