Don't recall calling them that, at all. All I said was that there are a LOT of guys in your recruiting thread that take the words of your insiders as fact. I used three examples, but if you would like I can go check and tell you more.

No need just thought it was funny those were the 2 you chose

Yep. I agree with you on that. Most realize that. Didn't keep one of your posters from including them in your class, though, did it? And it wasn't Brannigan, Savage or Ellitor.

---

So one poster predicts we land Gary and that means we all believe? Confused by this one

What point was that? that if you pull every top recruit you KNOW you have no shot at that you would make the top 3, therefore you guys are in it for a top 3 class? Makes perfect sense.

---

Let me try this again then. I am not just grabbing random players, I chose guys that AU is running at least #3 for so it's not out of the realm of possibility it occurs. With a perfect scenario I was curious to see just where we landed. Of those that I listed Dickerson is the only one that I have 0% confidence in landing. Gary, Davis & Warrior are guys I wouldn't be shocked we landed but don't expect.

And you all missed the Tennessee poster point that the article joey posted a link to was written after NSD. Their fan base would have had a hard time running with a silent commit from an article that was written AFTER NSD, don't you think? That was the Tennessee guys point. The link didn't prove your point.

Fair enough

Absolutely. It's fun to believe. It's fun to imagine the top recruits are coming to your favorite school. But you guys do the same thing you are criticizing the Tennessee fan base of doing.

---

No the criticism at least from me is that although all fan bases like to dream of the perfect scenario it seems like one fanbase is more partial to actually believing it will occur. Now I fully admit I could be prejudiced due to the fact that most of the cases I remember were battles that AU won where our insiders and other team insiders had AU as the clear favorite. So again maybe small sample size and all but that is at least the impressions I get


But I feel like this has gone completely off the rails for no reason. TEN, AU, UGA & BAMA all have realistic shots at Brown. It will be interesting to see after his official do only UT beat writers project Brown or do the other team's sites as well
