Thats a load of crap! Its just a way for UM to save face because they were snubbed by CLM..........OF COURSE UM was intrested in CLM if not then why did they ask Skip for permission? If Bass would have called UM they would have jumped on the phone ASAP! CLM loves UM so much that he is allowing this fabricated story so that a shadow is not cast on UM's new coach.
Im not burying the bass STORY.LSU!

What good would "the truth" be anyway? Nobody would believe it and would always think "there's more to it, I'm not believing that" no matter who the source was... unless of course it goes along with their idea of what happened.

So who cares? We're playing for the title.. We've got a dedicated coach..(FINALLY!).
