This story makes zero sense. I'm sure you can find some bass-ackwad assisstants who think this will happen because they are bass ackwards themselves, but seriously, can you imagine Saban or Miles or any coach going into a living room and saying, "Don't go to Missouri because Michael Sam was gay. They protect their players and you don't want that. You want to go to a school who will not protect you."

Or a coach saying, "Come play here we don't allow gays on our team." Another asinine statement. Schools that get top 20 classes don't resort to stupid shite like that because it is stupid shite.

Then again, look whose name is on the byline. Welcome back to sensationalist reporting, Mr. Thayer Evans.

I wish he would have just STFU. Not because he is gay, but because this will be front page for a long long time...

Multiple SEC assistants say that Sam's coming out will be used by rival schools to negatively recruit against Missouri.


Might those "SEC" assistants be Missouri coaches?

ETA: In fact the following few sentences make it seem like that is exactly what the case is.

Actually the negative recruiting aspect wasn't don't go there because he's gay but rather why did Mizzou hide it:

quote:

"It's a powder keg just waiting to explode," the assistant said.

The assistant predicts that opposing coaches will pose a number of questions. "Why did [Missouri] cover this up?" the assistant said. "What else are they hiding? What were they trying to do? Keep a secret society?"

He added: "I can see it getting really ugly."
:

An odd way to approach it but then again those who are going to negative recruit probably aren't going to be so blunt as to say something like Mizzzou had a gay player which is a big whoop dee doo as far as a negative tactic goes.

They've already ran out of angles for this, so now they're making shite up. Pathetic.

Good. To quote Alfred Blue "Ain’t no little boys out here between them lines. So if you gay, we look at you as a sissy. You know? Like, how you going to say you can do what we do and you want a man?"

Damn Thayer Evans gets Aubs wound up faster than Auburn legacy going to a rival school.

The guy found a niche and Auburn fans keep paying him.

Is this the same dude that said no SEC school would hire Charlie Strong because he's married to a white woman?

I didn't read that article, but can somebody help me out with how other schools will use this as a negative against Missouri in recruiting?

The story doesn't make sense because outside of arkansas SEC teams don't recruit against Mizzou.
