Third rate article and writer, everybody with blog thinks they are a real sports reporter.Cannot believe I am reading this from the perspective of someone from Ohio:
Tennessee Wasn't Enough to Lure a Young and Talented Ohio State Coach Away From Columbus, But the Next Team to Try Might Pull It Off | Eleven Warriors
Billy Joe Bob rolls a '4' on a die.What part of that article was false?
Billy Joe Bob rolls a '4' on a die.
Sunshine Pumper says, "wow, that's a 4! Nice job, Billy Joe Bob!"
Nega-Vol says, "man, you suck. Just a 4?"
Harry says, "stop being so negative, Nega-Vol."
Nega-Vol says, "what part of that was false?"
...
Moral of the story: you don't have to be wrong to suck. You can just suck.
[truth in advertising, I neither clicked on nor read that article, because I don't care what some writer in Ohio thinks ... just going off of what others here have said, it is apparent that article just sucked from a Vols perspective]

To author of Article: This is what we read! Young talented assistant offered the Defensive Coordinator position at Univ. Of Tennessee, would be a huge promotion with big money! After realizing he would have to defend SEC teams, including Alabama, UGA, Florida every year after watching SEC teams make Ohio State their Bit@h every other year! He pissed himself curled into the fetal position and had his Mother call and say he could not come out and play. But if somewhere in the big 10 the chance comes up he would go! Cuz then he could take the 10 -2 team to be throttled by an SEC 6-6 team in a bowl game.
Right. And the potential truth of it doesn't change the article's negativity. Abingdon and Border were commenting on the negativity of the article, not its veracity. So not sure why you started arguing with them about truth.It did suck but doesn't change the truth of it.
thanks for the breakdown, 82........I know I'm right dam* near all the time, but my tirades against the Nega-Vols suck. IRight. And the potential truth of it doesn't change the article's negativity.

Since we're on this point, might note that we see this surprisingly often in vn.com. They're independent variables, true-false and positive-negative. For some reason, folks sometimes get them all meshed together in their brains Most frequently, seems to happen with Nega-Vols defending themselves after people criticize their negativity. "But I didn't say anything that's untrue!" they complain. Maybe not. But that's not why you were being criticized, is it?

The article itself is not the point, my friend.......He is giving you a lesson in understanding human nature if you have eyes to see it.......don't get so dam* defensive that you miss what he is saying......go a bit below the surface, look at his little graph and try to mine a little truth and understanding from it.....be well, my friend.First, I'm not a nega Vol just perhaps not a blind sheep such as yourself. Go actually read the article before you attempt to push a narrative about me. By your own admission you didn't even read the article so why don't you do that before you decide to give your two cents?
The article was all about puffing up OSU by trashing an iconic SEC program. Granted, there is some truth in the article, but the article is more so an expose of the widespread Big 10 inferiority complex.First, I'm not a nega Vol just perhaps not a blind sheep such as yourself. Go actually read the article before you attempt to push a narrative about me. By your own admission you didn't even read the article so why don't you do that before you decide to give your two cents?
