What happens when "sources" turn out to be wrong?

  • Are they ever good sources again? Can one believe anything they say? Apparently, there are sources who say Chad M will be UT's coach by Wed. Another source says Petrino already has a multi million $ deal.
    I bet another source says someone else within 24 hours, maybe by tonight.
    I qouted a source one day a few years ago about going to the Capitol One Bowl on TOS. He was a reporter covering SC for the local newsrag. He had come into Billy G's for lunch and said we were a Capitol One lock. I proudly spouted the revelation. I was in the know!
    Of course, I had egg on my face when we were selected for the Outback. So, I look at sources with a jaded eye.

    BBQ is a noun, not a verb! "Good food ain't cheap and cheap food ain't good"

    Had LilJerry made his thread a VIP, I would've suspected his rousing the tater lurkers.
