Basilio also did a complete 180 between what he said on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I wouldn't put too much stock into anything he says. For someone who claims to have the connections and inroads that he does, it's odd to see his website advertising a live appearance at a Hardee's on Black Friday. Considering where some of the other shows on TSR have done live broadcasts from (Cru, Genghis Grill, Ruth's Chris, Castleberry Inn in Atlanta, etc.), it seems like Basilio is lowballing things...

Why you hatin' on Hardee's??- they probably have more revenues than all the other places combined.
I agree on the rest but an appearance fee is an appearance fee.

His story changes every day, depending on which directions his neighbor's farts are blowing. Not credible, no matter which side he's coming from. Good enterteinment though.

I listen to Tony for the entertainment value. He flip flops daily so I'm not sure how good his info really is. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

While I completely agree with the popular opinion about Tony B I hate to tell you that I have a strong reason to believe he is onto something. I think Vol Nation needs to begin warming up to the idea that we aren't going to hire Gruden. I also agree with one other thing he said, regardless of who we hire it will be a significant upgrade in coaching talent.
Me, I'm going to be cheering for FSU on Saturday...

Basilio has no source and no information. He's just another typical wannabe throwing crap against the wall.

While I disagree with you on TB being on to something, I do agree that the next coach will be a significant upgrade and that I'll be rooting for the Noles tomorrow.

It never seizes to amaze me that guys from other boards actually spend time trolling around other team sites. I can't get a mental grasp on why that would interest anyone. In this case I think it's a gator worried about who we will hire next. Scared we might get Gruden probably.
