is how certain people will come along after Ross Dellenger reports something and say "I am hearing" or "can confirm". Sorry, but I get a kick out of those kinds of tweets/posts and I am tempted to respond with "Yes, I read Ross' tweet as well."
Yes, I am not talking bout anything that has happened on this board as much as I am Twitter and some of those ob the MSU beat. I saw it yesterday with Selmon and today with Barbay.We had this out there before Ross!!!

He used to have info but not share it because Cohen was his buddy.Note to self...Rosey whiffs a lot.
Yeah. I'm pretty upfront about the fact that I don't have any inside contacts and also don't keep up with all of CFB enough to have any idea who is good/bad. Being ignorant provides just the levity I need to chime in on anything and get angry about whatever I like. It's freeing!is how certain people will come along after Ross Dellenger reports something and say "I am hearing" or "can confirm".

Probably no reason to shut out anyone if the next step after Briles was just to go get a G5 OC. Pretty much any G5 OC would take our job regardless. Wish Arnette would have kept everything close hold to start with if it really had an impact on whether or not KB ultimately made the move to MSU.since rumors are encouraged..
From a reliable source, the way Rosebowl and others publicly handled the Arnett-Briles courtship last week really pissed off Arnett. The Bumphis hiring announcement was also not supposed to be leaked until after Briles was hired. These two factors together played a role in Briles staying at Arkansas, I heard his interest was more than just Sexton playing us.
This is why Rosey was left in the dark on OC rumors the last several days and was peddling Mike Bobo, Slade Nagle, etc. I imagine Arnett will eventually figure out a way to use Rosey as a resource but they aren’t off on the right foot.

Sorry, didn’t see that posthttps://www.on3.com/boards/threads/there’s-a-little-more-to-the-story-with-the-mike-bobo-rumor.847848/
Selmon was mentioned as a candidate weeks ago so if Rosie was calling it a couple days ago, it wasn't his scoopI will give Steve some credit for mentioning Selmon as a strong candidate several days ago. But he had NOTHING on the OC hire after it didn’t work out with Briles. Barbay’s name was never even mentioned as a possibility. He had the Tulane TE coach as the leading candidate as recently as this morning.
Sure, but he at least seemed to catch on a few days before Dellenger broke the Selmon news.Selmon was mentioned as a candidate weeks ago so if Rosie was calling it a couple days ago, it wasn't his scoop
There’s quite a difference between “mentioned as a candidate” and “this guy is the hire”Selmon was mentioned as a candidate weeks ago so if Rosie was calling it a couple days ago, it wasn't his scoop
I mean, he has the nickname Rosebowl for a reason.Note to self...Rosey whiffs a lot.
Do you mean the ones like this? Thanks Captain "Obvious" Robertson. Guy thats not even in state or localis how certain people will come along after Ross Dellenger reports something and say "I am hearing" or "can confirm". Sorry, but I get a kick out of those kinds of tweets/posts and I am tempted to respond with "Yes, I read Ross' tweet as well."
So "is this guy the hire" yet? If not, he's a candidate and Rosey was just slinging hash hoping he might at some point be and he could then say he called it weeks ago.There’s quite a difference between “mentioned as a candidate” and “this guy is the hire”
That any MSU fan thought there was the remotest possibly to KB coming shows how gullible and out of touch some of our fans are. If we could pay his $2mil, Ark could easily pay him $2.5 or $3mil and does starting over in Starkville get him a P5 HC sooner? Doubt it.since rumors are encouraged..

I don't presume to know what all happened or how everything played out so I choose to give CZA the benefit of the doubt. By no means do I have "inside sources" but I do have a relationship with someone who was ONCE involved in a MSU news cycle and the perception and reports on social media were so far removed from the reality of the situation. Since then, I take everything I hear with a grain of salt and assume that 99% of what is being said is inaccurate.That any MSU fan thought there was the remotest possibly to KB coming shows how gullible and out of touch some of our fans are. If we could pay his $2mil, Ark could easily pay him $2.5 or $3mil and does starting over in Starkville get him a P5 HC sooner? Doubt it.
No doubt the talked to us and showed interest, but he was just keeping his options open and gaining leverage.
Yeah it appears our insiders are not very inside anymore
