Are you freaking kidding me? If it weren't for the fact that the idea behind the statement is ridiculous, the way he put that statement is awful.
He's really awful. He has a few decent sources, but he interjects his own opinion and stretches things way too much. It's pretty hard to sort through his ********.
Well, he's definitely a better writer than Yancy. Also, I don't think he stretches things as much as Yancy, and I don't think he's as petty as Yancy. However, he's still a homer, so he's naturally going to see things through his maroon glasses. Outside of the natural homer slant though he's not too bad.
I've read stuff by recruiting gurus at multiple schools, and I really don't think many of them would be able to qualify to write for a newspaper though. It's really a shame that a lot of these people consider themselves journalists.

<p class="dateline">December 15, 2008</p> <h2>Saban visits Bumphis; decision expected soon</h2> <div class="photo-right"> <div class="caption" style="WIDTH: 150px"> Chad Bumphis </div> </div>As TI reported earlier today, Alabama head coach Nick Saban was in Tupelo, Mississippi this afternoon visiting with star receiver Chad Bumphis. The 5-10, 190-pound Bumphis has long been one of the Tide's top slot receiver targets.
"Coach Saban, Coach Bo Davis and Coach [Curt] Cignetti were all here today," Tupelo head coach Eric Collins confirmed to TI this afternoon. "They came by the school and then they were to meet with Chad and his mother later this afternoon."</p>
One thing Collins picked up in meeting with the Tide coaches was that Alabama highly covets the speedy, elusive Bumphis.</p>
"Alabama wants him really bad," Collins says. "They did a great job here today. I was very impressed with the way their coaches handled themselves. They made a strong impression. They were very classy and they're very good recruiters."</p>
For several months it appeared that Bumphis would likely choose Alabama, Florida or Ole Miss. But with the recent hiring of Dan Mullen as the new head coach at Mississippi State, the Bulldogs now have the inside track.</p>
"I think it's going to either be Mississippi State or Alabama," Collins says. "I think it'll be one of those two, and if I had to guess right now, I'd say that Mississippi State has the lead. Chad really loved Coach Mullen's offense at Florida and how they would use him. Coach Mullen plans to use him a lot like he used Percy Harvin at Florida and that's attractive to Chad.</p>
"I would not count out Alabama though. They have done a great job, too. Never count out the charisma and determination of Nick Saban.</p>
"Coach [John] Reaves at Tennessee came in trying to make a late run at Chad, but I think it's too late for them to be honest. Florida and Southern Miss are still in there, but it's going to come down to Alabama and Mississippi State and I expect Chad to make his decision within the next two weeks."</p>

I can handle the dubmass state fans, but what's with these mississippi pricks lately. I have always enjoyed this board, but @ss hats like vanilla face are making it more and more difficult to read by the second.</p>
Dan Mullen. They won't admit it, but the fact that we have an actual competent, qualified football coach now has them on the defensive based simply on the reaction State fans have had to his hiring. You notice how nice and self-deprecating they were when Croom was coach - they were obviously not concerned that he would accomplish anything. With Mullen, they aren't so sure about that anymore, and it pisses them off. This reminds me of when Sherrill was in his heyday, the way Rebel fans are reacting to things. They also can't stand the fact that this board is sprouting wool and is geniunely excited about State football again.
I think the wool is causing some overzealousness, again on both sides, because good things have just happened for both fan bases. Ole Miss just had the best year its had in football in 5 years and saw a lot of potential in their new coach, and MSU just finally releaved itself of a 5 year self imposed probation and now has a new coach, and one they hope will be very successful. Also recruiting is heating up for both teams and there are a few players both schools fans want, whether they want to admit it or not, and everyone has "inside knowledge" as to why one school or another has no shot. I think things will start to die down a little over the next couple of weeks and then heat up again about a week or 2 from signing day, with spiratic flaming one way or another because of some big recruit, especially if the other team wanted them or that recruit use to be committed to them.
in terms of both writing ability and truthiness.
Also, while Chuck is a homer and does not cover recruiting much, he's almost always got accurate information.
