I don't have any reason to believe Mulkey - or not believe her.

I will say, if someone called me to ask about my boss, I think basic due diligence would be for me to take the person's number and contact information, and then tell them I need to check with my boss, then if he/she is ok with it, I'd be glad to talk. I wouldn't just assume my boss was ok with it. But that's me.

All that is irrelevant.

It was a very interesting and deep dive that detailed good parts and parts that some might not see as positive. In other words, she's human.

That's why even reporters that cover LSU and other programs have said it wasn't a hit piece at all.

A reporter I reached out to responded

Said there was no way Kent Babb would back off anything, ( sometimes stories go various ways depending on who you talk to at the time so you try to talk more than one person when you write a profile.)

especially since he talked to her dad and sister, which can take time to set up and schedule. doesn't mean you work on such a story all the time- can go a month or more without really doing much on it so you leave it open. routine for feature stories. some sports figures like coaches won't even talk to reporters about stories like this during their seasons so you have to wait.)

Said Mulkey is a bit paranoid like a lot of higher profile coaches.

Come on COD, you know from reading my posts over the past 20 years that I’m not a Clemson fan. I’m merely an objective fan who doesn’t always get caught up in the rah-rah stuff. That said, when I place money on a contest, I WILL pull for the team my money is on. Being a rah-rah homer has its limits when it comes to the Benjamins.

What exactly is your point? Van Lith whines about negative comments being racist when they clearly are not. There are 14 SEC teams - ALL ARE MADE UP OF PREDOMINATELY BLACK FEMALES. None of the other teams are being criticized in this manner, only LSU. It is clearly a result of their behavior and nothing else.

i disagree that the taters had a better season. I’m not a basketball guru. But. Quick google searches

Taters picked to finish 5th in the mighty ACC. They finished. - drum “roll”. They finished 5th.

Gamecocks were picked Last. They finished 3rd
That’s pretty impressive.

Taters were one and done in ACC tournament.
Give them credit. They had a good ncaa tournament run. But fell short against the SEC. Alabama was picked to finish 5th in the SEC. They too finished 5th and are still rolling. So both teams were equal and I believe the taters were favored.

To me - the Gamecock had a better season. There is no moral victories for not winning it all.

Btw. I think the taters now find themselves similar to the situation USC was in a few years back with Coach Martin. No way the Taters can fire Brad. Most likely they will reward him with a raise and extension. Similar to that of Tommy Bowden. Give them 2-3 more years. They will be paying him more money to leave.

To me. This was best ( in my opinion ) and worse case scenario for tiger fans. They are Stuck with him now.

Carry on.
