If you speak against their opinions, they don't try and listen to where you are coming from. They just get all defensive and tell you to stop reading their site or kick you off. Like for instance, when Jack Leggett got fired. Multiple posters on that site said they think its best for the program ultimately and maybe firing Jack just had to be done. The writers then went off defending JL because he was wrongfully terminated and treated bad according to their "sources".

Well, they never say where they heard the info from, just assume that DRad is an ### who fired JL after telling him he was safe (which I highly doubt really happened). Many think their source on the meeting was indeed JL himself, angry at his termination. Anyway, the same people on the site who questioned what really happened during the meeting were instantly harassed by the staff, who told them to leave their site if they don't want correct info. It was all childish as h3ll.

You can't have discussions over there on touchy subjects if you have a different opinion or if you question the details of the reporting. Also, if you ask a question on something they previously reported, they give you an @ss response. For example, I go over there and say "What happened to DJ Reader? I hope he gets better with whatever is bothering him. I think it may be his dad's death." Robert M would respond with "As we've reported many times, it is not about his father's death." He always uses that line, as if he thinks you should read his articles 24/7. It rubs me off as he's cocky.

These are the things that bug me, along with the occasional wrong recruiting predictions (see Montravius Adams). But they are good guys who wear the same orange we do, so it's all good.

... tore his ACL in the GT game. They refuse to believe that he only sprained his MCL (I think that is what Dabo and others have stated) and then tore the ACL later in practice the next week.

They really made a mess of the fact that Ray Ray went with his dad when his dad took other high school players to other schools for recruiting weekends. Pretty much calling Ray Ray's dad a liar at one point when he denied that Ray Ray was also going to be recruited by the school (instead of the just wanting to spend the weekend with his friends and his dad).

They really let their love of Leggett blind them to the obvious fact that the team was not playing consistently well anymore and had not been for the last 2 or 3 years. They would banter around any number of excuses to deny the obvious.

I don't have the time or desire to scour their message boards to find links to the above, so you can skewer me over that if you like. I'm not a reporter and this isn't investigative journalism. This is just what I have seen when I have used their site. I will admit that when I first discovered it a couple of years ago I would read it (the "Insider Report" had what I thought to be decent information), but they are a bit paranoid and usually become quite hostile to any poster that calls them out when they are obviously in the wrong.

So I never use TCI...
