I have mentioned who my sources are in several threads. I have some people in the recruit business that can help get info for me. As well as a person on the inside in the LSU administration.

Some of the things I have called?
Sage Ryan commit: everyone thought he was leaving for Bama
Ed O departure: LINK /
Mousa Cisse Commit:

Those are some of the big ones, but all of them have been deleted for some reason except the Ed O thread.

do not know if Riley is the guy but he was in. That is from a brother who works in the athletics offices who met Riley.

I don’t see how this is possible. It’s at least a 2 hour flight, plus driving to and from the airport. That’s 6 hours just travel time not counting any meeting. How does a college football coach break away from his team for 8 hours on a weekday with a game that weekend? And how do you do that without your current boss knowing about it?

You didn't call shite with the Orgeron departure.

A "prediction" has to be falsifiable (meaning you can prove it true or false). Nothing in your Ed O post is falsifiable, and the general sentiment about O was clear at the time.

I vote you down. You're no Mel Tucker.

It was very early. But I picked up the rumblings. I didn’t have all the details at the time but I knew that he was fine with leaving and He and Woodward had talked. You can take it for what you want.

Woodward didn’t get Orgeron buyout money without another coach confirmed. This is not a search. Woodward has his man.


this is simply not true

While I think it's bull shite, it's as short as a 1.5 hour flight from Norman to Baton Rouge. The BTR airport is 20 minutes from campus.

You could get in, spend 3 hours on campus, and be home by lunch (6 am departure, 8 am arrival on campus, leave campus 11 am, 11:30 departure, get back to Oklahoma at 1 pm).

If it’s of any value, I believe you.

Let's say Riley met with LSU last week, which he obviously didn't, there is absolute zero reason for him to come to BR for a 3 hour meeting to occur. Add in the fact that he's bumping into AD officials in the hallway

Come on, guys.

An actual insider on a pay site, with a track record several years long, has been adamant (including this morning) that it's Jimbo. I buy the "waiting on Riley" line, but you are either lying or being lied to if you think Jimbo isn't at least in the running.

I'm just addressing the logistics of it happening. It clearly didn't happen.

Jimbo is without a doubt in my mind the smokescreen/Bianco candidate

IMO it’s Riley or Dabo

Why the frick would Dabo leave the ACC for the SEC?


And a better question, why would we want him? Better be a package deal with Venables.

Also, if dabo is going anywhere, it would be back to Alabama in a couple years after Saban retires. Would make more sense for everyone involved.

I could very well be wrong, the source that’s given me info hasn’t been wrong yet. We will see. If it’s Jimbo consider me shocked but he is a big name in the college football world, and that’s one thing the source told me it definitely will be for the fallback option.

Now that is just bullshite. The big 12 is dead on the vine you can't build shite there. Sounds like something to say when you want more money.

Trying to recall your top 4.


Was it
1 Riley
2 Dabo

3 & 4 were who? Can't recall but want to say it was 2 of these three: Aranda, Napier, Tucker.

Not that I believe anything I read on here anymore
