If the powers that be want it quiet they can do it, and that's part of the reason DD being here keeps it quiet. Do you remember things like espn reporters getting in trouble and rumors flying everywhere while they never even address it. That didn't mean it wasn't true, it means that if they want it quiet it will be, because the vast majority will not hear the smaller voices.

Look, I am not saying that any of this is impossible. I am just saying it is improbable that so many people have legitimate sources that are so closely involved as to know what is really going on.

Also, those that have good information, if their is a reason to keep this quiet, have really crappy friends who go and tell people on a message board.

It would stand to reason that a reason for silence would be as to not jeopardize ongoing talks so by simply talking, the process is jeopardized.

you are awfully cryptic tonight...

To be honest I am cryptic every night....:good!:


What little info I receive doesn't always match up exactly with with everyone else's info... I have been on here long enough to walk lightly, because it doesn't always make it true, just because I heard it....:hi:

I know it is hard to believe, but I have caught myself hearing what I want to hear what I want to hear before too...:)

The Aaron Douglas deal and the way he treated his parents who are all UT.

Forgot about that. Who was the kid that was hurt and he called him out every week. Kid's career is over because of that injury Dooley kept dismissing.

There is not a lot of people on here sharing information. The number is rather small.

Just something to ponder: You think all this could be an indication of how dire the power brokers see the situation at UT and are very excited in remedying that situation?

Every secret? No. I doubt anyone has. However I dont go telling people who I do not know things that I have a vested interest to keep quiet.

If there is a reason to keep this quiet, why would the real players sacrifice the outcome when they invested tons of their own money and time to achieve by releasing information that they openly admit should keep quiet? It seems self defeating.

Also, if these people are telling this privileged information to so many people, why has thes major media not been verifying these same rumors? If we can come to a message board and get such good information, real reporters should have no problem.

It just doesn't work like that. This is the same way the Saban deal, and every other deal happened. Rumors first, the media must be sure first if the are reputable.

Possible.

Could also be leaked by Gruden's people to help increase negotiations with other potential jobs.

Again, the oroblem I have is that for so much noise none of the legitimate editorialized "media" has parroted this speculation. These same sources opine frequently about all sorts of rumor or inuendo. What sort of conspiracy exists to suggest that so many would keep this quiet while there is so much "good" information floating around?

Never under estimate the power of social media and chat boards.

Cody Pope- basically called him an anigav in press conferences when the guy's career was over due to the injury.

Legistics, so to speak. A forum talking about it means nothing. And media saying that forums talking about it means nothing. As long as it is not formally spoken about, it is still hush-hush. JMO
