Yep... And then ESPN follows with "sources" saying the same thing... Those ESPN reporters never give credit to who really breaks the story.

Me too, but I expect this adds a little more fuel to this rivalry. I think it's safe to assume Southern Miss hates us about now.

Finally a coach that didn't take the money and run! Time for fans to return the support!

It's a done deal. Tyndall to UT

He's on vacation with his family and unavailable for comment. Not making a statement.

Did Roy Lang go on vacation, too?

:laugh:

Wonder if he will give Coach White more coverage next or is he too little (outside Lang's beloved SEC)

The only statement he needs to make is that we have signed to 6'9" studs to LOI

abbrev. some of us can't type as fast as others. I only use it when others should know who u are talking about.

I get this is a fan board, and we're all supposed to be a little irrational, but the hate on the "local media" is a bit ridiculous. Sean Isabella worked his ass off on this story. I know he worked multiple sources, got stonewalled by Tech and Mike saying they weren't commenting, but still did a great job getting the story.

Exactly what I was thinking. We need to give that man a great reason to stay after next year....CROWD SUPPORT
