The funny part is MG is basically admitting here it's his opinion of the truth. Adds fuel to the he made the quotes up thinking

Tennessee fans are gonna have to realize that this sort of thing will continue until we quit clicking and generating traffic.

At this point, its like an older sibling saying something to a younger sibling just to get a reaction. The older sibling knows exactly what to say to upset little brother. Little brother always gives the expected reaction. Wash, rinse, repeat.

He was the basketball beat writer for the KNS. Honestly, the 4 or 5 guys that followed him have been a lot worse and can barely do their job. He did a great job covering those Pearl teams as I recall.

He covered UT football for year and years as well. Before he was in Knoxville I think he covered Auburn.

A few years back he took a job covering Michigan State. Fell in love with their coach just like he did Fulmer. It's really strange.

Anyways, he has somehow circled back around and is covering the SEC again apparently. Mike is entertaining because listening to him talk you can't really tell if he is serious. In some ways its like a 16 year old is covering major college athletics. Not sure how to describe it. Maybe he writes his stuff under the influence or something.

Gotcha. I mean, I like Dantonio a lot...but I guess some people don't know where the line should be drawn? Sounds like he has some good experience covering SEC football, though.

Also, it doesn't surprise me that the peeps at the KNS that followed him were horrible. I can't believe the KNS is still around with how bad a level of journalism comes out of that place.

Yep. If you see an article by a media member that you KNOW is bad and looks like it brings negativity onto UT...don't...click...on...it. Simple as that. And heavens please don't post the url here on Volnation. That's my two cents on it. But, hey, what do I know?

 

[Glitch]

I argued with him about the Browns and how much they suck.

I didn't think there was a counter argument to be made. Water is wet. Sky is blue. The Browns organization sucks. Facts is facts you know?

VN when we see an article we know is gonna bash our team...

I may have missed it but where is Buchanan (CB) figuring into the mix?

I criticized the talent evaluation of the Browns prior to the draft. MG listed the experience and accolades of their staff. I told him that it didn't matter because the Browns will still find a way to waste all of the talent that they draft.

2nd title nine investigation opens against Florida.

It was amazing that he was able to play last year with his history. How will Florida spin this. Didn't we suspend all players until Title nine suit had passed?

I hope all the bad stuff in life happens to Florida and nobody else.

Getting beat doesn't mean not hustling imo

Wasn't it Foreman that had the Pick that should have ended that game?

"I was raped because I was high!"

That's the defense we're going with? Ooooookay.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

He made a big time play at A&M but he would have been the reason we lost to UGA had we not hit a Hail Mary and I could argue he was the reason he lost the 2015 Florida game. He hustles then and they don't score. Players like that get your rear end beat.

He's the reason we beat South Carolina in 2015.

Okay VN, THIS is an okay article to click on.

That's like saying, "Officer, the only reason I was driving horribly and crashed into that other vehicle was that I was drunk."

Lol.

"It's not my fault? I purposely injested a substance that impaired my decision making abilities."

Yep and it was a tough one

1) This second Title IV investigation is actually coming from Callaway and his defense team, not against him.

2) No, Title IX investigations take years to complete, and most of our players that were part of it weren't even enrolled anymore.

Shoop said Shamburger is a little ahead of the other freshman CB's.

doesnt surprise me. Was one of the best players in all of Georgia last yr and alot of our own dont realize how good he is. But hes also older than most freshman.

 

[Crazy Ivan]

I get that. He was still toasted. Can't happen.

If Abernathy hadn't taken himself out of the play it would likely be a moot point. Rather than watching Eason he allowed himself to get sucked into the middle of the field.

I put these in order for those that don't use Twitter.

Swain, you were doing so well there for a minute. Then you had to go and suggest Butch asked Griff to write a hate-article on his senior TE.

Sounds like Buchanan is the #2 nickel right now behind Gaulden, per Shoop today.
