I would love for him to come here, but there is no evidence that this is actually occurring. Could it be happening behind the scenes and the major writers do not know anything, sure, but that seems unlikely. Every mention of it is from either people who are not connected to VT, random articles being written on websites not named ESPN or from reputable writers, or from this message board only. I do not want to face the reality, but I think we have to at some point. Until a reputable writer comes out and says it, then it is not happening. Hope I am wrong.

"Could be" is a speculative phrase masquerading as fact. -- marcbvtgm Oct 31, 2025 at 02:07 PM ET
