about as credible as that writer and ESPN's recent reportings...is it me or has ESPN really had some poor reporting this year..they have jumped the gun on a ton of stories only to have to retract their statements...I have seen 3 or 4 different stories about a new HC being hired by a school and the next week someone else is hired...they need some new insiders

It's speculation, how credible do you need it to be? They're just fitting pieces of a puzzle together. Whether it forms a whole or not is left to be seen.

Well, for instance, I would put a bit more faith in a blog by a Chris Low than say, something from the Bleacher report. Hard to assess the info without some background on the informant.

I'm not going too much stock behind someone who is stretching based on an agenda of his own.

That being said, I'd add Thamel to the list of 32 biggest enemies of the program.

Witch Doctor ask how credible is a "reporter" graded 42% by his peers? If Kiffin saved puppies from a burning building they'd say he started the fire. Kiffin will own the world one day.
Bones never lie

Witch Doctor you think this is going to boil down to be nothing? Volsfan14 say it's gonna be nothing big. But that is just Volsfan14 opinion.

After Chris Low reported that UT was under NCAA investigation when it's not the case?

Low has been wrong on more than one occasion. The 13psi article is opinion, and I'd wager that if you track down the connections that he laid out, you'll probably find the same connections. Whether there's any legs to it or not remains to be seen.

WItch Doctor are these predictions or inside info? Just curious. Great posts either way. :hi:

WD is a good source on inside scoop. Been following his info on GVX for about a year and it's been pretty solid. Just WAY TOO MANY trolls these days on GVX for me to continue. Too many dagum Bammers/gators to deal with their crap on daily basis to enjoy talking Vol football.

The NYT has a history of bad reporting and making things up to sell papers and advance an agenda. One of their Pulitzer Prize reporters was caught and fired for completely fabricating a story. History may be repeating itself.

I have enjoyed the whole string and hope the pieces to the puzzle are begining to take form. I hope you are correct WD! Sounds like something a Gator would do and let's hope the Gator chomp will turn and bite their own asses! My hatred for FL is getting very close to that of Bama! Real freaking close and will surpass if this turns out to be true!

I've just finished reading one of Thamel's articles via the NYTimes, and it seems to me to be very bias towards Florida. Afterall the article is named Alabama Knocks Florida Off Top, and if you read towards the end of the article he goes into making excuses for the Gators performance not based off Florida's comments, but based off his mere opinion. I maybe reading too much into this, but it definitely seems to be a bias article. I'll provide the link and you can tell me what you think.

I think you are reading to much into it, but the guy is still way off on his accusations against the VOLS.

You know, if it does come out that this had something to do with the UF administration, I think I could possibly/maybe empathize with Bammers.

I am usually one to more often than not defend the Times. When your the biggest, you have more people digging. That holds true for the Times and it holds true for SEC schools. However, this article is indefensible. First, it uses some very shady sources, particularly a commit to a rival school. The use of quotations in this article is awful. The quotes add nothing to the article, and Lattimore's is quite possibly the worst vetting of a source I've ever seen. No self respecting journalist would use any of those quotes, but his in particular. The second issue is that he argues that the number of secondary violations is the cause of this, yet fails to mention that Tennessee's total is in no way a statistical anomaly. Plenty of SEC school have racked up secondary violations, in many years, more than TN.

I just posted this in a related thread, but it belongs here also.

This is old news, but it still gives me hope:

Is The New York Times About To Go Bankrupt? | NewsBusters.org

The comments are pretty funny, especially this one:

Dear Santa,

I have been a very very good boy this year and this is my wish list for Christmas.

1. I would like a Lionel train set.
2.1 case of small batch Basil Hayden bourbon.
3.I want Al Gore's private jet to go down in Antartica.
4.A new collar for my dog Petie.
5.Please make that horrible, lying ,worthless and treasonous,bird cage lining ragThe New York Times fall into bankruptcy in a most particulary painful and humiliating way and throw all of it's writers out on the street.
