I agree that Willis being a Carolina kid deserves to have a story on him, but to publish the same story over and over is a bit overboard. BTW A quick search on Thamel articles does make it clear the guy hs a bone to pick with Kiffin and UT. Stan if you get a minute I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

Tennessee is of interest because this reported incident took place at a CAROLINAS school, in a game that featured a number of The Observer's Top 25 SC prospects.<br /><br />LSU bloggers and newspapers should care about that school's foibles. We don't have time to concern ourselves with them.<br /><br />Nothing personal.

Why not report on the NCAA investigation of the LSU coach paying players? Its going on as we type. It broke just weeks ago. Its a much bigger violation then any potential Vols violation. Why no coverage of the Aubrun assaults? Did you cover the Florida players using the dead teammates credit card, how abiout the Florida player who shot up the apartment with an AK? I know the Florida situations are in the past, but my point is hostess situation has gotten more press from you then any of the other stories. I seriously think it would like to see you take thi story on and investigate the blogger and his other Pro Gator articles as well as what actually occured.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639461088900343234.post-58626189775524325222009-12-10T13:13:42.013-05:002009-12-10T13:13:42.013-05:00Actually, we are interested in Carolinas' play...Actually, we are interested in Carolinas' players, wherever they go.
