Per GoVols 247...

  • It seems like I see a lot of threads and titles that are started these days just to inform everyone what TOS is reporting, or that per TOS _____. No offense to anyone, especially anyone who sees a report and asks if it's true, but it seems a little odd to post a bunch of stuff about what TOS and what other people are reporting. I understand and appreciate reading good insight that a poster from another community may bring, but as far as news goes and what is official or to be believed I trust this site and Kevin, Ryan, & Wes over any of the other guys. Their level of reporting and board involvement is a primary reason I joined this site to begin with. These guys are rarely beat by anyone else, and I have never read a retraction where they were wrong about something. Even if they are beat, it's generally only by minutes. I personally don't take anything as official unless its reported by 247 Sports or by UT directly. W/R/K, thanks so much for all you do and for the passion and work ethic that you bring to your job each day! Because of you guys and this site, I couldn't care less about anything per TOS, regardless of how good of a job they may do. preciatecha

    Thanks for the kind words, jcochran. We appreciate it. As Kevin said, there's a huge difference between someone else reporting something and a poster on another board saying something. If there's a media report out there, we don't mind that being posted. But, as Kevin said, it's when people refer to message-board posts as things being said "on TOS," that we end up going on wild goose chases for information.

  • What is your first name? I went to school at Freed-Hardeman University from 2002-2006, and a John Cochran there for part of the time. I was just wondering if it was you, your son or something. I know it is a long shot, but I was just wondering.

    No, not me, sorry. My first name is Jeff. I'm a few years younger than that.
