Would love to read an article about the difference between KNS coverage and Tuscaloosa times or whatever the crap they sell to people who can’t read in alabama

You don't work in the media in Alabama if you don't toe the line. Their fans don't put up with it...I respect them for that.

This was the point of my initial post today. This didn't happen. A lot of folks on this board don't follow my tweets and don't follow my work. But every time I'd post one thing that made someone mad (and in at least two cases, it was taken out of context), they would post on this board and for many, this was their only exposure to me or my work.

I'm just trying to make the case for people to pay closer attention to what I actually say and write and get the full picture. Anyway, thanks for participating in the discussion. I always appreciate the interaction and really do appreciate the passion of Tennessee fans. It's why we cover this team so closely and put so much time and resources into doing so. No other outlet in town is going to Alaska to tell Tennessee football stories, and I'm not sure many, if any are even going out to California to do it, either.

@David Ubben you twist your own stories in your trollish tweets. You are asking us to read all the details of the actual story and then pretend like that magically cancels your tweets. It does not. I wish you could see that you are the one twisting what you are doing.

Yeah, what was that? @David Ubben That was a huge success story that you wanted to turn into hunting for trash. Get your head straight!

Hunting for trash? Warrior didn't want to answer a couple questions. I was curious to why. His answer was because it was in the past. That's fine, and actually illustrates some of his personality. I wrote about how he's a completely different player this year. It's fairly obvious that Warrior was not an outstanding player early in his career. It's my job to ask about why. It's his right to not answer the question. I tried to explain why we've seen such a dramatic shift this season.

This is what I wrote about Warrior off that interaction.

No that was bad

Then why were you defending him earlier? He is indefensible. You said he was not as bad as Adams etc..I think the only reason you think that is because he hasn't been here crappin on UT for 30 years. He is just like them, just hasn't got the years of crap piled up yet, but if he keeps on like he is, he will catch up pretty quickly.

Thanks for the response David. This is a valid point, and could very well apply to me. I liked you when I was on twitter, and I joined here in August or so after deleting. We had several interactions there. Defended you or looked the other way at first here, but just got a bad taste in my mouth after a while.

How do you think Saturday is going to go?

Ubben, let me make this as simple as possible. You find me in the recruiting forum because I love recruiting. I've never seen a recruit say he has a subscription to the Athletic. But I have seen rival fans retweet your clickbait Twitter headlines.

Your bs damages what I enjoy. If that gets you some extra subscribers, good for you.. I guess.
But personally, idgaf what's in your hidden content, as a direct result of your promotion tactics.
Is that simple enough?

You guys this is what he wants you to do. Go and click his links. It’s all he’s about. I don’t listen to Josh and Heather because he’s on there (and cause the show sucks). Just don’t click his links. Unsubscribe to the athletic and list him as the reason. He’s just part of some of the larger Knoxville trash. Say what you will about Ainge and his weird letters or Rice or the guys at fox sports Knox but they all want UT to succeed. These other guys thrive in the legion of miserables. They get more clicks from hit pieces than true and/or positive articles.

Cause Ubben has written a lot of really good content. His stories on Pruitts background for example are the best I’ve read from any media source in Knoxville. I can appreciate his good stuff while having disdain for his jabs that he takes at times. He’s nowhere near as bad as KNS that brings up every negative story they can think of as often as possible
