Fitz's credibility

[jarrr]

He must be pretty damn confident in the mystran, or I dont think he would leak it out. If there turns out to be no mystran he has lost alot of credibility. Really, the only reason for him to leak the info is so he can say "I told you so" when the news is announced, so if there is none he looks stupid.

[Dan Rydell]

Tim Floyd.

Credibility is not something that seems to have FITZ overly concerned.

[AzCat]

Yep.  The $10/month GPC crew are so far up Fitz's ass they'll probably never even question him about the rumor if no one shows.  It's all about sucking in more subscribers for Fitz.

well, whatever credibility he does have left, should all be completely gone if his rumor flops. Everyone with a rivals account should cancel it immediately if it proves to be wrong. At least scout puts out information that is real, and seems more organized about it. I wouldnt ever pay for info I can eventually get anyway, but I definately wouldnt pay for info I eventually find out is wrong. I will give him props if his rumor turns out to be true, but his balls are on the chopping block right now and if the mystran is a no show, "chop".

That release about Venables being hired that appeared on Yahoo! that was supposed to be supersecret ....

[hillwalking03]

The Iowa recruiting guy for scout.com reported that Ron Prince would be the new KSU head coach, and for six days, Fitz and Kietz said no way.  They said their sources said Venebales.  After that, I can't believe any K-Stater would listen to anything those two say.  How does a KSU "insider" get scooped by the Iowa recruiting expert?

Or Fitz will say "we were sitting on this".  He always says that when he gets scooped.

Credibility comes with respect.  I can't respect any idiot that would start this bullcrap rumor in the first place.
Prior to this jackass starting this rumor to add $$ a month to his subscription base should come his concern for the program.
It didn't.

far be it from me to defend fitz.... but i don't remember this at all.  in fact. what i recall is fitz and his minions reporting that contrary to the all the national and local speculation about venables, he was not going to be seriously considered.

i have no recollection about what kk may have been saying, but i'm pretty sure one of gopowercat's finest moments was in undermining the persistent venables rumors.

I don't know what he was posting on GPT, but on 810 with KK he said noway to prince.

[sys]

to clarify, i i just remember fitz saying venables had no chance.  no recollection on what he was saying about prince, or when he was saying it.

[fatty fat fat]

Fitz is pretty damn credible. Seriously.

[chum1]

Tuesday’s Tulsa World had claimed that Fitzgerald’s Web site had announced that Brent Venables already had the K-State job...“I don’t know where the newspaper got that,” Fitzgerald said. “We never reported anything like that. We haven’t even reported that he will be interviewed. But we’ve talked to the sports editor there, and we’re told there will be a correction run (today).”

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:coIjZImX2TcJ:www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/sports/13288116.htm+fitzgerald+venables+powercat&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=2

Is anything on that site really considered reporting?

[fatty fat fat]

Fitz always said venables was never a candidate.

[kougar24]

Yes, and he also really got owned on the Prince hire by little ol' Scout.com.

[mjrod]

Yes, and he also really got owned on the Prince hire by little ol' Scout.com.

[GoldbrickGangBoss]

He did.

There is no denying it.

[kougar24]

Nope, there sure isn't.

[ds43fan]

i hate fitz but this 1 im gonna say hes right on

[gibleis]

Scout did break the Prince hiring but that didn't stop Fitz from making a commercial claiming he did.  I don't care which site does what, were all KSU fans.  But to flat out lie like he has on 2 times is rediculous.  Worthless individual in my book.

[RU4KSU2]

Yep. The GoPowercat commercial claiming the Prince scoop does make my skin crawl.  I was online when the Prince story first broke on Scout.  Watched it unfold first hand.  I do not see how he can claim to have had the Prince inside story, I know that is a lie.

I hope he is right on the mystery transfer, but I am not going to get my hopes up just becuase he says it is so.

[jeffy]

So if it wrankles Scout so much about the Prince-hire claim, why haven't they sued?

[kougar24]

Maybe they have.

You guys are becoming incredibly ridiculous.  Please explain to me that even after the "Iowa" source said it was going to happen, why did the KSF.COM release their premium info that came out through Yahoo! saying something totally different?

Seems to me you guys are interchanging facts.  Scout is not the same as KSF.COM.   Maybe someone in the scout network had alluded or even said so, the KSU site did something different.

All a matter of perspective.

[WILDCAT NATION]

They may have just added a suit to the one that is pending, or was pending...Not sure if that's ever been resolved...

The subsequent posts about mystran have certainly been interesting.

The brilliant Venables article preceded the Iowa source...and the Iowa source beat everyone to the punch.  I read his post not five minutes after hearing Fitz say on 810 he still had no idea who it was going to be. 

Of course, Fitz probably knew it was Prince, but didn't want Temple or Middle Tennesse State to catch wind of it and steal him away at the last minute.

[Kat Kid]

I think Fitz is just too beholden to KSU.  To develop ANY sort of relationship wherein Snyder would so much as let Fitz within two footballs fields of Vanier to drop off copies of Powercat Illustrated he had to be totally up Snyder's/Administration's ass.  I think Fitz is a Ksu homer first reporter second.

Once you view him through this lens, everything comes into focus.

[fatty fat fat]

gopowercat.com reported the Prince news first.

That is how it will go down in history.
