I don't disagree that Thayer sucks and that he is attempting to do what you allude to in second paragraph. But its an interesting and very quick "NIMBY" reaction in this thread.
If the article, even penned by Thayer, named a specific school, lets say Tennessee just as a random example, half to 2/3 of this thread would instead by "LOL your staff sucks Tenn, you bigots, get a new staff, troll troll Tenn sucks screw Tennessee, we are so much classier than the Vols we would never do that but Tenn did cuz they suck, etc etc". There wouldn't be many people saying "oh he's just stirring the pot" or saying he made it up, other than Tennessee fans.
But because it could theoretically be any one of the 13 other league schools with some random dumb assistant who said this, every single poster is on the defensive and downgrading Thayers and questioning the quote's context and in some cases its authenticity
If the article was written by Stewart Mandel or Andy Staples this would be true.
But Thayer Evans is a known liar who has been caught making shite up in the past and was canned for it, and then did it again, and then did it again. Everyone here knows who Thayer is and what he is about...that's why we are all in agreement that this article is poo.

Fair nuff. And I'm on board too with him being a lying scummy POS. I don't know the details of how the Ok State thing shook down except I remember a lot of OSU people running around saying "Hey I never did that/ hey I did not say what it says I said in the article" sort of thing. But there were others in his OSU article who did at least say yes they said what was attributed to them. Its definitely amazing that Thayer still has a job in this business at this point, but my only take is all that being said it doesn't necessarily mean we know conclusively that those quotes are bullsh**. Possibly to probably, but we can't know for sure unfortunately.
