Boo Carter rumors from Basilio

[BelievetheHeup2022]

Not very responsible for Basilio to be generating drama around a player when there aint none.

Stuff like this is handled internally on every football team every single year. Its not news worthy unless he walks or gets suspended. Most sports journalists have the good sense to not publicize stuff like this.

We’ve been lucky under Heupel to have very little off the field drama compared with most other sec schools.

It definitely doesn't help anyone's cause if there is something going on. If you are claiming to be a sports journalist, it's way more important to be accurate rather than just being first

 

[BelievetheHeup2022]

lol that should be eventful. Just 100 Boo questions.

You'll get one asking about Hiter and Keys

 

[sonofUT62]

5 minutes with VFL AL Wilson might do the trick.

Or Jennings.

One of my good friends went to school with his mom and knows her still. He said there is no issue with Boo

They did not mention him on the podcast, but they did mention him at the end of this video. However, they are wearing the same shirts as they did in all the other position preview videos meaning they probably cut them all in the same day. Or it means they only have one shirt...

 

[JacketVol]

Yeah. He had, let's say, an interesting high school career in Chattanooga. 3 different high schools in 3 years and was kicked out of one.

Not just Chattanooga

 

[05_never_again]

Not just Chattanooga

Was including Bradley County in the definition of "Chattanooga," but yes, he did finish HS at one that isn't even in Chattanooga.

Im sure she said that the issue is with everyone else.

 

[DaddyChad]

My bad I didn’t mean to imply that basilio is a journalist lol

He’s basically a low rent Finebaum. A lot of people like him and Sparks make money when there’s internal issues with the program. Also when there’s not issues they just make some up. Tabloid paparazzi media.

 

[BJWeeks]

Another reason why contracts are needed. You miss workouts and show up late etc then you get fined

 

[DaddyChad]

Honestly I don’t worry about this crap with Heupel. I trust him to make the right decision for the team no matter what. Kid is a remarkable talent, maybe he’s a knuckle head as well. Have to remember a lot of us made dumb decisions at that age. If any of this is true I trust Heupel to decide if it’s a character issue or just an immature decision. Hopefully this is all just bs rumors.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Yup.

No one is bigger than the program. Heupel has proven he isnt gonna sacrifice the integrity of the program for anyone.

Luckily, my BVS has prepared me for this situation. Without jumping to conclusions, or rushing to judgement, I'm already looking at the depth chart.

 

[FranklinVFL]

This kid apparently has had been surrounded by red flags since HS days. Seems elite athletic talent can get you a pass from your personal issues, for a time at least.

Janzen Jackson comes to mind here.

Yep. But that clock always runs out of time eventually

 

[hUTch2002]

I demand a higher quality of baseless rumors.

That’s what the Politics Forum is for.

Regular reader, but not a poster to the forum. It’s not Tony’s responsibility for anything in this situation. This is a classic example of shooting the messenger. First, the criticism started out about the story being false. Now that we know there’s validity to the story you’re blaming the reporting on what’s out there. As Tony would say, “he didn’t do it.”

The criticisms of Tony on this form are tiresome, unmerited, and quite frankly sophomoric. Tony has one of the most content rich shows in the nation, when it comes to coverage of a single, specific college sports team. Do you know who loves Tony Basillio and gives him more time than any other radio show? Coach Tony Vitello. Vol baseball legend Chris Burke, is a regular on the program. He has quality guest such as Watson Brown every week, as well as numerous other national media representatives who bring great info. He allows callers some leeway that other shows dont.

Having listened to Tony for 30 years, this is a guy that built a show completely, 100%, from nothing, and developed a grassroots following that has grown into tens of thousands. He’s provided unmatched coverage with post game shows that have run until 5:30 in the morning. He’s recruited VFL Will Heflin to run a post game baseball show.

He relies on ZERO corporate funding to support the show. He’s active in great causes for our community and provides a voice for the common fan.
Whether you like it or not, he absolutely, 100% has sources inside the program, and he comes up with great information time after time. These degrading comments about him say more about the people posting than it does anything about Tony Basillio.

Dont like it? Dont listen, but keep your unfounded criticisms and lies to yourself.

Thank you Mrs. Basillio.

 

[adam.vol]

Who the **** is Basillo

If you haven’t heard of him before, you have better things to do than to pay attention to anything he says. Even if that better thing is eating paint chips.

We still haven’t received any evidence from last year’s accusation against Danny White selling 14,000 season tickets to ticket resale corporations in Texas. I’m going to wait for that one to get resolved before I pay attention to anything else Basillo claims.

Standing Tony's corner this strongly, and going out of your way to say his name seven times (all advertising is good advertising, eh?), I'm going to take a guess that you are one of the following (in order of decreasing probability):

1 - Tony himself, though portraying yourself as a third party ("having listened to Tony...")
2 - Tony's dad, mom, wife, sister, brother, cousin, aunt or uncle
3 - Tony's producer, associate producer, assistant producer, production manager, or studio technician
4 - Tony's preacher, lawyer, high school teacher, dental hygienist, or neighbor
5 - just a really big fan, who maybe would like to get a job with Tony's team

Heh, just messing with you. I'm all for you defending the man, you're absolutely right he did nothing to deserve the intensity of criticism seen in this thread.

On the other hand, you (and Tony) have to realize that people shoot the messenger mostly out of frustration with the message. It comes with the job. Can't complain about it, if you are (or he is) the one who chose to be a messenger.

Go Vols!

 

[MissionRidgeVol]

BINGO! I've wondered why I've never saw this on volnation. I'm going to take it a step further and say this. At some point you have to look at character off the field. Coach knew, he chose to bring him on the team. We're not talking about one situation here. Coach knew what he was getting and turned his head. The fault is on him and him alone. Students in Knoxville have heard about these problems. What message does it send them?! If your talent is such on the field, we can ignore off field problems. My husband and I both predicted he wouldn't finish in Tennessee. I still believe that to be true.

He then went to Brainerd, who actually had to cancel a game against Howard because of anticipated gang violence at the game last year. Not saying he was involved, just an environment issue.

One of my good friends went to school with his mom and knows her still. He said there is no issue with Boo

There's clearly issues with him, that's no secret.

Good grief, I hadn't heard that.

I agree with all of this.
