You are completely and 100% wrong as usual. I ALWAYS put when it is my opinion, if it is. When I put "the staff is not sold on him" it is because I have heard someone who DOES have contact with the staff say that. LWS has contacts. The guy on Scout does as well. When those 2 say that's what the staff thinks, then that's what the staff thinks. You don't have to like it, but it's the truth. Just go back to talking about moving Irvin to WR or something else completely off the wall, and let us discuss the QBs...

I think Lamaison is an upgrade to BJ, IMO.

I think you have nothing to base that on. BJ outperformed everyone at the Spring Game. Would Lamaison fare as well? If so, then more schools would be on him. Plenty of schools could benefit from having a developed guy come in. Forces you to wonder just how developed he is. Without BJ's loss we wouldn't be bringing in Lamaison.

I didn't read your entire post, I rarely do, but I have connections that have ties to the coaching staff and frequently get solid information on what they are thinking/feeling. Everything I hear does not make this website. Stop insinuating that everyone is as clueless and uninformed as you are.

There's a guy at the top of this page, that has more connections than I do and is saying the exact same thing about what the coaches think of Rettig.

Problem is...there is no distinction in your mind what is opinion and what is fact. With a swollen head your size, it's to be expected.

I was there, and yes BJ did well. The problem is, Lamaison has managed games in college, whereas BJ hasn't managed anything but a half at Vandy. Lamaison has also put up good numbers as well, and Coleman couldn't even break the depth chart last year when we had so many problems. Stephens and Crompton are both better than Coleman is/was, Lamaison is better than BJ as well, IMO. Also, it's not like our defense was really doing a whole lot against the offense in the spring game.

I understand where you are coming from here Larry, but I think that if that were the situation, then we would have had the #2 guy from this year committed already. If he were just an arm, it would be easier to take that #2 commit earlier, even though I feel they should have anyway, Lamaison or not. You could very well be right, and he also hasn't made it here just yet, even though he should by all accounts.

Just because you think you have a "connection," that still doesn't qualify as definitive fact. You can say" my source says this or that" but to be as dogmatic as you and Sab, you'd have to actually be on the staff yourselves. I know it's imperative for you and him to show everyone how important you (think you) are, and how inferior everyone else's opinions are, but I think we'll manage to make do without your expert analysis, somehow.

I never give analysis of players. I have admitted time and time again that I do not know how to evaluate players. I simply pass on information from legit sources and you don't like what they have to say. That simple...

I thought you were never coming back to VN after 182 had his way with you?

I came back just to give you and Sab hell :shaking2:. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough. I'll try to do better.

JuCo is not the same as doing it at the college level.

You are absolutely clueless yet again. I don't understand how you manage to accomplish every single post you make being a pile of horses#!t. I really don't. It seems that anyone with any modicum of intelligence could occasionally hit. You miss every single time. It's unbelievable. You add nothing to this board.

I do my best to state that my opinions are just that. I don't try to pretend to be a big shot...just another fan speculating here like everyone else.

Where you err is in thinking that everyone else is as clueless and inept as you are. That's far from the case. Some of us actually have an inkling of what we are talking about.

Ah, it is all good for people to have their opinions and factual knowledge if applicable posted on here. People should not take it personal.

Sometimes when another poster asks them of their take on something, they're head swells exponentially. If someone has a connection or some "inside" information, I for one would greatly appreciate if they would say so, when they make such dogmatic statements. It's pompous, however to declare their opinion as anything but that.

If your trying to dissect sitting the bench in D-1 versus starting in JUCO, being a JUCO AA QB, and winning games , then you may be at it for a while. I can't see how it's not better than sitting the bench. Lamaison has accomplished much more in his time out of HS than Coleman has. At least with Lamaison, coming here is an upgrade versus Coleman leaving to go to UTC. That should tell you where Coleman is/was.

I see where you are coming from. I am just a fan. I have no connections or inside people. I just listen and speculate as well and enjoy everyones posts.

Yeah...if you have all these deep connections, Big Shot, why aren't you working for Rivals or Scout? Obviously they are clueless, and you're on the money.
You're opinion is just that...PURE speculation. Plenty of folks declaring to have inside connections during the whole Fulmer firing episode last season, and during the hiring process. A lot of mis-information. Bet you're one of 'em

All he would ever do here is sit the bench unless something very tragic and unexpected happens so I don't see your point at all. Lamaison isn't being brought in to be the guy. He's being brought in for depth. Read Larry's last few posts. BJ Coleman would have actually had a chance to be "the guy" if he didn't throw a tantrum and leave. I doubt that ever happens with Lamaison.

Like I said though, even though that maybe true, Lamaison coming in and Coleman leaving is proof enough to me that the coaching staff believes that Lamaison has the tools to compete. He may not win the job, but he's got more of a brain to come here than Coleman had to leave. Coleman isn't that great of a QB, IMO, and he won't do much at UTC more than likely. If he had half a brain, he would have shut his mouth and stayed here, where at least he could contend for something.
