Evan Russell not available tonight (Friday) now AVAILABLE

[Zues1]

I sticking with the Taco Bell curse

 

[Weezer]

Oh, just you wait. This is going to fuel the baseless speculation anymore. Saying he’s sick but providing no details will make the Hawg and Vandy fans latch on to that and spread a whole bunch more BS.

Basillio has already thrown this out there. What an ass that guy is.

 

[JohnD13]

A couple fans mightve speculated a little too much, but that's what a message board is for. It was just throwing out possibilities.

Different in throwing out possibilities and slanderous speculation

 

[chef3531]

What in the world. Surely we get more details than that.

Are you his doctor? Ever heard of HIPPA? It's literally none of our business unless he decides to tell us.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Beck made it

Thanks

Pray for the young man’s health and for his family as I’m sure they’re stressed w all the rumors circulating and consumed with worry for ER.
If it’s Covid, hopefully mild symptoms.

My sister n law is 40 yrs old, in great health and just ran the Boston marathon. She works out daily and has a trainer. She’s competed in triathlons, etc.

She woke up this last Tuesday w a horrible rash, fever, etc. She tested positive for covid and feels worse now then when she had Covid in 2021. I didn’t know symptoms include a swollen face and rash. Crazy.

Ok Nancy. Also this has nothing to do with HIPPA.

 

[Panthro]

Apologize.

Apologize for what, exactly? For saying I was afraid it was a failed drug test? That’s not inaccurate. I was afraid that it was the case. I’m glad it’s not. I apologize if my comment made anyone think I was suggesting that I knew for sure.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

HIPAA doesn't apply in this situation

i don’t mean to say TV would be held to the law, but just doesn’t want to air ERs medical issues or otherwise. Similar to Coach Heupel

 

[orange beard]

They said he ate some bad stuff last night ! Wonder if he was eating at the Y?

Basillio has already thrown this out there. What an ass that guy is.

Basilio is the worst of Vol radio. It could very well be family related and Tony doesn’t want to be the one to announce it. Basilio is always just looking to stir the pot. He sucks.

 

[Freak]

Listening to Basilio on the radio and he’s implying that Vitello is possibly not being honest. Said “so that’s the story they’re going with” when Vitello said he was sick.

Better have some good intel to call our coach a lair but I expect nothing less from Basilio than trying to stir the pot.

he's not gonna air russell's personal ssue to the world, we know its not peds, he would just come out and say it imo, he's dodging the ? as he should

 

[chef3531]

Ok Nancy. Also this has nothing to do with HIPPA.

Oh so you're a lawyer as well? Nice. Still none of your business

 

[volfanhill]

I thought so too, but he probably just didn’t want to speak on HIPAA is all I can assume.

He's not held to HIPPA

I mean I didn't see any one say anything definitive on our site. We aren't getting the whole story though still. Hoping the best for Evan!

 

[ric1958]

Shame on you weed/ped speculators. Lol.

Freak you should suspend them all for at least a month.

He’s just mad because he can’t scoop a story. Insinuates stuff to keep people tuned in…

 

[Freak]

If ER was done for the year TV wouldn’t mislead the fan base, I don’t believe.

 

[vol66]

Evan’s on drugs, Charlie can’t handle it and Beck’s in a slump. Got it.

 

[Ttucke11]

I would love to see where my posts were inflammatory in any way. You need to tone it back a bit.

True, he may just be respecting his privacy, but something seems fishy that they wouldn't simply say he was unavailable due to illness as soon as it was known. That coupled with Tony saying he doesn't expect a quick turnaround is a bit strange.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

He's not held to HIPPA

Again see my post below, not saying he’s held accountable to the law, but you can still respect someone’s medical privacy

 

[Woodrow Call]

I hope he gets back in the lineup and refuse to listen to gossip and BS.

Basilio, though entertaining, isn't exactly paragon of fact-based reporting.
