I'm fairly certain I know who the guy is. I don't know him. If what I've been told is correct, he's a long time member of the oldest subscription site covering Bama.
This isn't the whole truth. He hits about half of the time. If you want a comparison, I'd use Heather Denich. Like her, he's outside of a door over hearing things here and there. Like Brandon, I've seen him post here and there for several years. We've had far, far worse people hanging around the athletic buildings and "sharing" what they've heard.
I put as much faith in what Michael posts on his different venues as I do publications that exclusively cover Alabama.
