Is that weak sauce or is it just me?
Have you Wes or 247 confirmed strongs decision or are you just reporting what another reporter said?

The thing that cracks me up is Wes got on here last week and told us all to read the board and not post something that was already posted, but he posts something that 2 threads had already been started on.

I sure as shit don't pay for this site for Wes Rucker to have gainful employment. I pay to talk with you guys and read the board. Wes you are a funny guy and a good reporter, but come on man. We have been waiting for your gospel not some dude from SI.

You guys just chill out. Wes doesn't cover Louisville football. Thamel is a national writer who has sources in multiple programs. Obviously, he talked to Strong himself.
Nobody is likely to match the story tonight. So you post it and credit it.
It's called a scoop. Ish happens.

Lol are you kidding me ?
He.Is.A.MOD.
That's his job. If it has Wes's name under it, then people will read it. If he just put it in another thread then a lot of people might miss it. C'mon Man !

Pete Thamel broke the story. He gets the credit. Simple as that. Fair is fair.
