Honestly might be a good fit for Choate since he already has history there.
Choate grew up in the area and still has family in the area. This is a rebuild so perfect for Choate.
I wonder what the buyout is for his contract at UNLV. Only being there 1 year, it will be on the high side.
I have no idea what the buyout would be but I would chip in a couple of bucks to pay it if it helped keep Vigen here a little longer.
Well Choate doesn’t coach at unlv. He coaches at UNR.

Why is not okay to call out rumor mongering?

We don’t need this
The team doesn’t need this

It was for clicks and hits


“One does not speak unless one knows.”

Be right or face the consequences.
Tom gave his mia culpa. He has more inside information than 99% on this board because of his job as being a reporter focused on the Cats. If his breaking news, albeit possibly/probably erroneous, ruined anyone's Christmas, that's on them. I prefer having an insider like Tom providing us with good insightful information on a regular basis than having no information at all.
I agree, but rush to possibly get info out sometimes needs to be put aside to be accurate. Week before championship game, should you put that type of info out as someone supposedly in the know when it isn't confirmed.

Adam Schefter still has a job, so not sure it's that big of a deal.

The fact that anyone got that upset or distressed about some misinformation needs some major self reflection time. My god relax..it’s a message board!! Not every piece of news is going to be accurate. The fact that we have some posters, like Tom who has more information that anyone of else will ever and that they share that with us when they can gives those posters a pass.

Not sure of that comparison? Is Schefter the primary coverage person for 1 team. Does Tom cover multiple teams. Did me post mention losing a job.

Does Tom have info. Seems like he got 2nd hand info this time, didn't verify, everyone took it as fact, then he backtracked. It's OK to call that out. If I had posted the same info reactions would have been way different and treated more as a rumor.

That would be sweet. I can't stand that guy and it keeps Vigen here in all likelihood. Source?

Cougfan message boards. Bear in mind, these are the same folks tracking private aircraft traffic in and out of Bozeman. SDSU’s stud WR entered the portal today with a “no contact” message. There are speculations that he’s following a coach. SDSU fans think he’s following a girlfriend.

Tom didn’t even do anything wrong. There’s nothing to forgive. This is a message board. If we are going to hold Tom to this level then let’s start going through the Gameday Threads and hold everyone accountable.
He is a journalist the rest of us are not. He shouldn't be thrown under the bus, fired, or banned. I agree he corrected the post, but no reason others can't discuss it. Heck could turn out to be correct. Definitely seems like a learning moment. Jo's coverage and write upset have improved a lot from when he started

Big difference between what he writes for Skyline or anywhere versus what he posts here.

Hmmm. Wilde into the portal. Then a rumor of the Jacks HC to Wazzu. Let’s take this rumor and run with it.

Huh, while not definitive, looks like a bit more to it than a random forum post

Zimmer is the South Dakota version of Colter so he probably has some sources. Some legitimacy to the rumor.

“Breaking news. Jimmy Rogers will be the next head coach at Washington State.He is expected to bring a ton of players with him. #WAZZU #SDSU”

A post on X at 12:57pm today deleted by 1:15pm. I screenshot it before it was deleted…they are not affiliated with WSU, but being deleted within 15 minutes of it getting posted seems fishy. I’m cautiously optimistic

@LadymayLLC was the account

IF these rumors of Vigen and Roger’s are true, maybe top level FCS football is being recognized as being pretty damn impressive by the G5.

Maybe Vigen hired Rodgers to be his DC. I mean that’s how little legit info there is on this.
