I have it from one source that State will win the Egg Bowl in 2010 and I also feel that way. I heard from someone else though that Ole Miss will beat State this year.
Am I covered?
NO.
It would go like this...
My sources are cautiously optimistic that OM will win the Egg Bowl in 2010, but I personally feel MSU will win.
Look, you know that I understand what you are saying. But what Yancy posted about Wood is a far cry from telling your flock its a done deal before it happens, going to the school to cover the press conference, and then posting him on your scout commitment board before it was announced. And all of this was done by the group (Steve & his sources) that most posters here previously assured me were way above Yancy's standards.
And don't these guys, Steve included, have the right to be wrong sometimes? I think the way most people evaluate them is how often they are right vs. how often they are wrong. And right now, Yancy is batting at a way higher clip than Steve. It was Steve who claimed Singleton didn't have an MSU offer for a while. It was Steve that pumped people full of sunshine about Senquez, Chief, and Wood, only to be bad wrong. It was Steve who decided to trivialize the recruitment of Chief once he realized he wasn't coming to MSU. It was Steve who did the same thing with Justin Bell after it became apparent that he may commit to MSU. It is Steve telling folks that one of our commitments is secretly recruiting for MSU.
Regarding your commits, Yancy always maintained that he thought Woods was a player even when he thought he would sign with you. Yancy still maintains that James Maiden is a great players who we wanted badly, just not enough to offer Fosselman. Yancy has maintained that Whitehead is a great player that we want badly, but he doesn't see him defecting from MSU. He has never had a bad thing to say about Arrington, Johnson, or Jackson. He still maintains we would take them in a New York minute.
I have documented here many times that I believe Yancy to add a little flare to his post occasionally. I have said that he is right many times if you learn to sift through his ********, ignore the theatrics, and just try to get a feel for what he is telling. But you have to admit, for all the accusations against Yancy, it is actually Steve Robertson who has been employing the tactics that people accuse Yancy of applying. It is Steve with the mystery recruit. It is Steve posting articles and questioning recruits about rumors.
And to all the posters here who are angry at Kameron Wood and would call his character into question for committing to "the plantation", is it any different than Robert Elliot? In all actuality, the Robert Elliot situation was worse.
