First of all welcome to the best Vol sports community on the web.
We want everyone to post often but, please, stop comparing WRK to the TOS' sites. The other guys, work very hard and are good people, no need to trash them here. It's not what we're about.
We all know what our guys bring to the table. We appreciate what they do and are the reason we've been here all along.
Thanks and Go Vols

Agree that it shouldn't get personal, but the site comparisons and content comparisons are inevitable.
I tell ya what, I don't envy you guys for being in this business. It's not easy to consistently be better, faster, and more entertaining than peers, but I respect the product you've created here. I think you're forcing everyone to step up their game.

Classy. I hope what I said wasn't considered trashing. It wasn't meant to be but I wont repeat it.

I didn't pay to much attention to who it was. There were more than one, put it that way. Not singling anyone out.
We just like to be better than everyone else.

I would hope that most of the level headed folks that frequent this board respect the reporters not only on this site and Hubb's, but also the Low's, Strange's, Philip's, and the rest of the legit local guys.

The other sites do bring information to the table, but not as consistantly as here. The other mods also don't respond as quickly as 247. There's a reason i read their stuff, because they are good in their own way. I just happen to think these guys are better. The other sites (one in particlar) also seem to have a lot more trolls, which are not very common over here.

I agree with the OP.
I'm not new here anymore, but I did go annual today.

Excellent! Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that free feature for annual subscribers.
Thanks again!
