Over here at Arkansas that's pretty much all we have. They are the guys that get played on every coaching search, and "insider" info on every top recruit.

Every school has a few, but I have to say this Arkansas/Kentucky situation has outed our insiders again, but it's also outed the biggest fraud in the SEC.

Matt Jones, who covers Kentucky is has to be the biggest dealer in homer bullshite for clicks. It's still an ongoing situation with recruiting and portal stuff. Check it out, it's comedy gold.

I would appreciate if you would out the bullshiters at whatever school you're a fan of. Here at Arkansas, we get fed bullshite until someone from the national media breaks news that wasn't on anyone's radar.

The only “insiders” I trust are Trilly Donovan, Skim Milkey, and the opposite of whatever Pio says

Under Saban I’m not sure we really had any true football insiders in the classic sense.

There was a lot of behind-the-scenes knowledge to be had sure, but like the military, you really only knew your particular parts of it, and that never included final decision making.

And I’m relatively certain he’d occasionally have some random department feed out false information just to track down potential leakers.

Pretty much every payboard, blog and podcast "insiders" are full of shite in Arkansas.

Our "insiders" never get inside her, so no BS to navigate for Mizzou fans.

He’s just glad Stoops came home from College Station and decided to reject the A&M offer.

Arkansas media is a joke. They make Baghdad Bob look more like Honest Abe.

Doesn’t Looch (TexAgs) have to be on the Mt. Rushmore of this category?

It’s a fine line, right? To be a knowledgeable insider, you also have to be a major suckass and be susceptible to being played.

Problem with Looch is that he’s so damn smug and contemptuous of his subscriber base (much less the people who refuse to actually pay for that abuse). This is what makes him such a douche IMO (as opposed to the “bullshite” aspect).

There was a guy that was once on one of the Mississippi State message boards that I truly believe was an insider.

Not only on coaching searches, but things like PDF copies of potential new logos, Adidas contracts etc.



But he disappeared after a post on November 25, 2007.

He posted that Mississippi Senator Trent Lott, the then-Senate Majority leader and one of the most powerful men in DC was resigning the next day.

No mention of it anywhere on the news, political boards, etc. The next day he resigned and we never heard from him again.

It had to be someone in the university president's office.

I only know 1 insider and it's not at Alabama, it's at Tennessee and he's a public face that many Tennessee fans would instantly know. He doesn't really tell me shite like gossip and such until after the coach is gone etc, and even then it's nothing really ground breaking or crazy. Just stuff like everyone in the AD knew on Day 1 Dooley was a mistake, etc.

But he does give good information about the kinds of things he can talk about. If I wanted to know why something is done a certain way, etc.

Crimson Bozo on the Alabama forum here is a bullshite insider. I don't know anyone in the Alabama program and I am the least connected person for sure. And even I can listen to his insider information and see it's complete bullshite. All he does is say what people want to hear and say it's inside information.

The crazy thing is people still eat the shite up. They don't care if it's true or not, they just want someone to pretend to know and tell them what they want to hear. He should start a $1.99 per minute hotline.

I think the game has changed to where decisions and outcomes for recruits and coaches have become way more unpredictable. These guys are usually just fed the same bullshite a recruit feeds the staff when they ultimately lie to 9/10 of the people they speak with:

Countless times LSU football was given the same positive intel Alabama was only for Alabama to come out on top.
