I agree, I think that if you think about the facts, there is not an announcemen when we were told there would be a decision in a few days coupled with AC posting saying that Austin was just a candidate tells me that we are in fact about to drop soemthing big.
I just get the feeling that Mack entertained Austin and as the week progressed started getting calls from various sources.
Let's also think about Randy Shannon withdrawing his name from the KU stuff. Thinks are just all kinds of jacked up right now. I think that if Ausin was the guy like many sites indicated that he was we would have had an announcement.
I do not think Mack would have told recruits one thing and meant another.

Either way, Mack is going to hate Ketch even more now. I am hoping it was someone that was just trying to share inside information rather than a direct disinformation campaign from the school. That is bush league by Mack if that is what happened.

I think A is the hopeful choice. Going by AirCoryell's other posts, I am going with option B, and AirCoryell was trying to dispel the Austin being a done deal scenario. After all, wasn't that his first thread?
Either way, AirCoryell is definitely an insider, although we don't know if the inside information we were getting is legit. I tend to think that his info was bogus.

Thanks OP.
Do any of you guys think Ketch and the other guys have access to the "insiders" identity and look at it? If they truly have insight, the rivals guys might be able to see how they are connected.

Getting in on this one....it's like a John LeCarre novel....

b. Someone with an account listed under a UT official has been planting smokescreens on the board to mess with us and made a boo boo.
Those are not the only possibilities.
correct, there could be others, but I know the parties involved personally. I will find out what happened.

It's possible that Aircoryell was given the TexasSID log on to monitor and not be located on campus. It will be interesting to see where the IP addresses are located. An account comped since 2002 probably has been shared many times before.

It is free. TexasSID is a comped subscription and has been used by the school since 2002.So, if you gave them this free access since 2002, aren't you the root of the problem?

Maybe Bill Little? He is in the information bidness.

Think about it for a minute though...if the SID wanted to make OB and other sites look bad, would they really have someone dispute that Austin was the guy, only to hire him later? That would make OB and everyone else that stuck by the story look better, not worse. So, I think that AC's information was legit - i.e. no offer has been made.

I recall hearing that Belmont was pissed about the Greg Davis et al information getting out 'too soon'.
A misinformation revenge campaign ?
You'd think there would be better things to do with the time at hand.

Guess were going to find out who has the stick and who is the bear, as there has been a lot of poking the bear with the stick lately. What happens when you poke the bear....nothing good.

Can't wait for Ketch to ask Mack about this at the next press conference.

I don't agree. I think they want us to keep guessing and have constant headaches. They know that Ketch knows and they are doing their best to make us think Ketch isn't as connected as he really is.

Hold on. You said it was a comped account (SID), right? If so, wouldn't you be very aware of who the account is attributed to?
I think it's more complicated than that.

The only possible thing I can think of is that they want to get back at y'all.
If they are worried about that, I'm worried.
