***Masoli Update***FITZ and Co. knew about the story but they were sitting on it. Confirmation was "too tough".

Sorry it isn't 1 A.M. for your reply.
We heard the same rumors that he was there. Now ... getting confirmation on that is tough. Nobody seems to know for sure and his "PR firm" in California isn't answering many questions.
I don't think it is a done deal to Ole Miss, and I'm not sure it ever was.
Should make the next week interesting though.
You can count on the fact that if we do learn something we'll share it here first.

Have you (as a company) made the decision that you will not be the first to post rumors on this forum? Seems like it's a fairly common occurance for someone to post about something (or a story break) and one of the staff members to post something to the effect of "yeah, we heard that". I'm not going through every thread, so maybe you or someone else on the staff had posted before that you'd heard Masoli visited last week, but this is the first time I've read it.
This might be read as critical, but it's not the way it's intended. I seem to remember "this is what we're hearing" kind of posts from the gpc staff. Has the membership of this forum ruined that (as I assume we did for Fitz posting his opinion on KSU related topics, which rarely happens here anymore)? I understand some of this stuff you don't post because you don't want to burn sources, but it seems like little/no "rumor" or opinion posted by the people who seem to be in a better position to do so then most. This subject specifically would seem like something that should have come from the staff if it was heard (and again I appoligize if it was). "Hey guys, can't confirm this at all, but we've heard that Masoli visited KSU."
