Apparently Thayer has been writing hack pieces about OSU for some time now:

Geoff Ketchum had a pretty good tweet about part 2. Said something about it being pretty funny that all the players quoted had failed out of school even though they were supposedly getting work done for them.

And this is how Thayer conducted the "interviews"...

He's going to get fired again.

Yup. I think the Mathieu stuff didn't get as much national attention because he had already been kicked off the team and people had just written him off. But they are losing all credibility now.

it's not good for them that this is coming out just days after they actually believed and wrote a story on the joke article about Saban visiting Texas (a joke also pushed by Finebaum).

Nah, I still hate him, but I hate Thayer Evans more so its funny to see him bash him.

Well there is a pretty big difference. Whitlock writes opinion articles. Many dont agree with his opinion but they are what they are, opinions

Evans writes articles that are suppose to be fact-based or investigative...when they seem to be more about opinion.

So what they both are paid to do are really different things. Whitlock is paid based on his opinions, liked or not. Evans is paid to report facts. Major difference there

Just so there are no illusions about Thayer Evans and his thoughts about Oklahoma State: “…a meltdown by seventh-year Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy is coming just like usual, as evidenced by his sixth-ranked team’s sloppy 38-26 victory Saturday against incompetent No. 22 Texas.”


Well he was right about this

This happens at every university in America... This is far from a scandal. Miles can't be touched with any of this!
