It May be insignificant...

...but I see any PR help can only be a good thing in the court of public opinion.

And right now, the public is not on our side, according to this.

Appologies in advance to Randall.

It's insigificant because the court of public opinion is full of morons.

9/11 - George Bush is a genius.  Greatest president of all time. 
George Bush says that it will be tough and we need to stick together.
Two years later, the majority of the country hates George Bush.
Six years later, they elect Obama because he's wonderful and a savior for this country.
Two years later, Democrats are scrambling because the country hates Obama and his agenda.

It changes so fast, so easily, and it's obvious that most people are uninformed of the truth when they make their opinions.

Once confirmation comes out that the tapes are fake or never existing, public opinion will change our way.

I think public opinion is already swayed.  Go look at the rivals and scout main boards.  Check out other boards.  I saw a link last night for a TCU board.  They are praying that something is found on us.  The public already thinks that we are toast.   I even hear it at the office.  First thing this morning while waiting on a staff meeting to start, the talk was about the Joe Schad article that came out.  Forget the fact that Brad Law was on the Scot Van Pelt show last night on ESPN radio saying that this is not news to AU, MSU, NCAA or the SEC, that they have known about this since July and it's only news to the public.  They were running away with it, talking about all these "new allegations".
