An interesting anecdote I hadn't heard before:

quote:

Listening to Bear from ESPN College Game Day on the Stanford Steve podcast. Bear told a story that Joe Burrow was set to go to Tennessee with Greg Schiano. Schiano was told he had the job and when Tennessee and the Clay Travis mob blew it up, Joe decided go go to LSU.

incoming, about 22 pages of worthless dumbasses on high horses talking about shite they know nothing about

If Joe Burrow had come to UT he'd be working at an Autozone right now

If JaMarcus would have stayed, Flynn was going to transfer to OU.

And we would be about 52-4 right now under his tutelage approaching our 3rd consecutive national championship. Damn you clay Travis and the Tennessee faithful. Thats how good this guy is.

Burrow was scoffed at by Scott Frost too.

Granted, he wouldn’t have gone scorched earth on the competition if he went to those programs.

Bear's story makes no sense. Tennessee changed their mind on hiring Schiano in November of 2017 and Burrow didn't decide to leave Ohio St until May of 2018. Bear should have done a better job vetting that one.

Clay Travis was the least of the administrations concern during Schiano Sunday. Clay lives in Nashville. There were literally Knoxville sports reporters with bull horns on campus. Congressmen were voicing their concern. Clay was just along for the ride. The only people who blame Clay are Yankee Libs who don’t like Clay

Burrow didn’t even enter the portal until like May of 2018.

This is correct. Clay just rode the wave and his periscope rants had 0 to do with Schiano not being hired. But he’s still a giant POS regardless of how big or small his involvement was.
