re: The Most Awesome Thread about CamGate

I have communicated with W&L for around 7 years concerning insider info related to SEC football. He was at his peak while Shula was the coach and knew nearly the entire coaching staff at that time very well. He attended most practices and would always report on who is looking good, etc.

His connections are still substantial, but he does not have the same access to Alabama football that he once had now that Saban is here.

In real life he is a fairly influential religious figure in the state who works with athletes at the high school and collegiate level. He does not post much, and nearly never about casual things. When he sends me something, I read it carefully. Having said that, he is an Alabama fan, but not one of those that is "out to get" another program.

I would put some stock in any post of his, but more in those related to Alabama as opposed to Auburn. What he is hearing about this scandal is likely coming from the Alabama camp and not from Auburn sources. He never gives up more info than he has to as he protects his sources very well.

I think he basically told us what our instincts were already saying....just that we now know our instincts are shared by people more in the know than ourselves.
