I've never understood mods just slinging stuff against a wall hoping it sticks to give the subscribers a brief feel good moment. No way I would spend money on that type of operation.
To me Mods at sites are not near as in the loop as a Staff at sites. Speaking of VQ staff only, they spend a lot of their life everyday with visits, interviews, articles gathered by having boots on the ground. Sometimes taking things with a grain of salt is good but IMHO they shoot from the hip and more times than not are spot on, regardless of which UT sport we are speaking of.While Hubbs and AP get criticized a bunch, this is why I respect them. Other sites have complete homers. VQ walks that fine line of catering to their audience but not being homers, and I think they do it pretty well.
