The constant running “McDonald’s bags” jokes

[TNnative]

They’ve denied those claims.

The Pikes deny a lot of things. And that, in more cases than not, are proof they did it.

we will let you know as soon as we get our vaccine gum Joe B told us about the other day

Joe who?

Yeah, pretty sure they’re butt chuggers.

Just a few points to make before we keep running this into the ground.

1. Y’all do realize this is a highly unsubstantiated claim, right? No one around UT has said this, including the admin who axe’d Pruitt for violations. Clearly there were recruiting violations, and it’s not hard to figure out those violations included the exchange of money, but nothing reputable says anything about McDonald’s bags.

2. The only, and I mean literally the ONLY, report about McDonalds came from Dan Patrick, who is not connected to UT in any way. Wes Rucker, who very much is connected to UT, said that the McDonald’s rumor is “angrily denied” by everyone around the program.

3. Why would we use McDonald’s bags? If we were needing to conceal money, why in the world would we go to a McDonald’s to get the bags? How about duffle bags, or just some good ole paper bags? Instead we would choose to order food from McDonald’s and suspiciously ask for a ton of extra empty bags? Think about it. It makes literally zero sense.

It’s time to drop this y'all. Quit bringing it up every time we discuss someone from last year’s roster who left.

1. We will never know the full story
2. Rule #1 in NCAA violations, "angrily deny"
3. I'm sure we used all ways of concealing

Thanks for keeping this out there by posting it and cycling at 5 pages now.

This is a narrative started not unlike all of the ones started and embellished by the media then picked up by people with their own agendas. You can't take anything you read in the media or on the internet at face value anymore.

My take on this is that every program, including GA and bama, pay their best prospects. Just look at the cars they drive. Our stupid administration had to fire Pruitt and they didn't want to pay him the big payout so they self reported themselves and HERE WE ARE. It is the stupidity of this and past administrations that have and continue to run this athletic department in the dumpster. If they had just fired him and payed the buyout they probably would have come out better in the long run. I don't condone cheating, but when your main competitors do it how in the world can you compete with that? My rant is over.

Oh boy. Cue ZippyMoron and the other uga needy labradors to respond that uga recruits on purity and unicorns and uga awesomeness rainbows....
