You might want to consider a break from this board. No need to go at someone personally like that on a nuclear level.

I’d rather that media figures take it slower/easier on college athletes given their youth as well. Let keep it focused on the issues.

I’ve yet to hear anyone in the media attack the guy, but not saying I might have missed something. Boo is making way over $500k. Those “kid” days are over, like it or not. Pandora’s box is opened.

I’d still rather we show restraint with their personal lives. It’s just speculation until it actually results in a consequence.

Last I checked I didn't start the keyboard warrior nonsense. All I did was push back. It just gets old when someone can't adequately defend a stance and they go right to the 'keyboard warrior' comment. As if everyone posting is some dork that just sits around to get people worked up. None of us know who is really on the other end of these usernames. My point has always been, be careful with that nonsense, because you never know who will take you up on it. You think I'm really going to show up and rough up a radio guy and catch a charge and lose everything over a message board? Na, I just sometimes like to see how far these supposed internet tough guys will go with it. And from what I have seen, it's never very far.

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.

Wow. A drop the mic moment and I 100% agree. Tony B has more than earned VFL status. I too have been listening for 30 years. He’s a UT grad and loves his school. Not sure why people give him a hard time. His 5 Qtr shows walked me off the ledge many times during the dark years

Saban is on record saying he liked the guys who were in his office frequently because he got to know them better.

Whatever is going on, I hope Boo is in somebody's office, getting expectations explained and advice given that can make him money or cost him money depending on his receptivity to the message.

I've no need to hate the kid to think he could be better off not playing college ball and learning wonderful things aren't necessarily going to fall in your lap because God chose to bless you physically.

If Boo wants to be a teammate, great.
If he wants to be on the team and coast, that's Heupel's call if he's worth it.
If he wants to be a distraction and all about me, that's a no from me. There's work to be done.

I have also heard that Saban especially likes guys who push women half their size when leaving stadiums. He admires there courage in a hostile environment.

I’m surprised nobody brought this up yet…

Where I grew up, when you call someone “Boo”.
That means your “love”.
Boo thang!

And she named her son that. I get it. He’s number one in her life. But that creates a difficulty for another man trying to be number one in her life.

I believe his name is Orlando "Boo" Carter

Yeah, he's (you're) a really scary guy. He (you) wouldn't do anything other than stand there with a goofy look on his (your) face. Tony (You) started this garbage now every blogger and wannabe writer on social media has ran with it in a sorry attempt for some ecred. Meanwhile a 19 year old kid has been the target of this hit piece without having any facts or concrete evidence that anything worth discussing is really going on. Tony (You) and people like him are the scum of the earth. They (You) race to drop a story without vetting it or even concern themselves how this impacts the player or the university. I live in Knoxville much like Tony (You). So if Tony (you) want to discuss this further without keyboards we can put your hypothesis to the test. My guess is this is far as it would ever go for Tony (you).

You can trust me. I've got a bigger following on VN than Basillo has on the radio.

Lol.

I only know what I see here about Tony and I base my opinion of him on who likes him and who doesn't.

My opinion is at the very bottom of the list of who's opinion matters, but fwiw it aint good. Lulz.

Leave Tony Alone...
