Big surprise here... Rivals to partner with Tuscaloosa News

[Kaos]

Nothing like verifying the long-held perception.

“It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to explore,” Deas said.

Breaking news and much of the other content on TideSports.com will remain free, said Deas. Most of the recruitment information and analysis will be available only to subscribers.

“The people at Yahoo!, which owns Rivals, have made it very clear that our credibility was probably the most important factor in partnering with us,” Deas said. “They want these Rivals sites to begin breaking news. Readers are going to continue to get the in-depth team coverage they're used to.”

Fuck it, we're not even going to try to hide it any more. 

You'll get bullshit tidbits for free, but we're going to soak your ass if you want to know anything beyond what color uniforms the team wore.

The people at Yahoo!, which owns Rivals, are sick of pretending there's no connection and really just don't give a shit any more," Deas said. "Now we can just make shit up, pass it off as news and do our same old shenanigans but now we can pass it off as credible news and hopefully influence recruiting and throw even more shit at the 'Barn."

The fall of man.  The fall of the Egyptians.  The fall of Rome.  The fall of college football.  The fall of America.

The perception that Rivals was pro-UA was because Lucky, the founder of Rivals, is a UA guy. Lucky now doesn't have anything to do with Rivals since Yahoo! got it, and is moving BOL to his new company site, 247sports.com. If anything, Lucky moving with BOL to his new company is furthering the distance between a pro-UA connection and Rivals, whether real or perceived. I wouldn't expect Rivals to not have a UA site.

As far as the Tuscaloosa News side of it, I can see your point. But the Rivals side of it makes sense.

Like Thamal and Thayer with NYT and Fox Sports by their namrs, Tidesorts dot com now gets to pretend every dump they take is gold plated

Isn't Cecil Hurt part of the Tuscaloosa News?  Isn't he one of their main contributers?

Did you really just ask that?  He's like a three year old that just busted into the babysitter's extra jacked up Rockstar energy drink.  This shit aint stoppin'.

I guess we'll see all of SPuat's players get extra stars.  But, if they decommit they'll lose a star...oh wait that already happens.  *breaking news* Rivals will see the first ever 6th Star, given to a handful of "their" top players.  The Team Rankings will be the same, but the #1 Spot will just mean that the team is the #1 team behind SPuat.

Fuckem, we got Grillz.

Fuckem, we got Grillz.

Fuck em...we got Gabe Wright.  I don't think you people are getting this.  Please go watch Nick Jr's films. 

It just doesn't matter.  This guy will blow shit up for years to come.
