No, that's what's known as an idiot spewing off at the mouth. That whole article is a load of BS. I read it last week on the Alabama forum.
I liked the part where that NFL player wearing full gear goes on chasing Mr. Saban...RUN Forrest RUN!!!:lol:
The guy who wrote this is Roy Adama. If you don't know who he is, calling him one of the biggest slum lords in Mphs is being gracious. I've seen the property he owns and know how he treats these people he claims to be the "guardian angel" to. Like fishhead mentioned, when he posts you can take about 10% of it as fact, the rest embellishment. It's sad, that after almost 2 decades, he still holds a lot of animosity towards Young due to Young backing out of his partnership with Adams (Mphs Showboats.)
Memphis has had a bad reputation for college recruiting for years. A UT supporter, Roy Adams, and an Alabama supporter, the late Logan Young, Jr., would usually come up in any discussions or articles on recruiting in Memphis. Young died a while ago. I did not think TennStud was still around (guess I was wrong). Anyway, you might find these articles entertaining: From a 2003 article in the Memphis Flyer: http://www.memphisflyer.com/memphis/Content?oid=oid%3A4504 ******************************************************* “Roy Adams is an Internet rarity -- a message poster who makes no secret of his real identity and whose alias, "Tennstud," no longer has a shred of anonymity to it.” “A graduate of Central High School and an admirer of Estes Kefaufer, the Tennessee senator and presidential aspirant of the 1950s, Adams attended UT on and off from 1956 to 1963 and boasts an impressive arsenal of knowledge of UT football and state politics.” “Before the Internet, he was a talk-radio caller, a regular at fan forums, owner of a popular Memphis eatery called the Adams Family Restaurant, and a booster that UT had to keep an eye on.” “He says he chose the handle "Tennstud" in homage to the old Doc Watson song, "The Tennessee Stud," after trying several others and finding they were already in use. "I hate that damn name more than anyone knows," he told the Flyer a year ago. "I am short, fat, ugly, old, and balding and anything but a Tennessee stud." During the Logan Young trial, Adams was deposed and the Flyer article has this interesting closing: “…Adams arrived wearing a bright orange blazer and a coonskin cap. Not including a break for lunch, the deposition took four hours. According to both sides, it was a day they will not soon forget.” ******************************************************** Then an ESPN.com article from October 2005 has this to say about TennStud: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=crimson “Adams is one of Tennessee's troubling boosters. Fulmer described him as "a bad guy!" in a memo to Kramer. ………. He (Fulmer) also claimed Adams had been disassociated from the UT program, though his own compliance director says that is not the case.” “The reputation of helping kids isn't anything Adams runs from, and loudly declares that it's his constitutional right to lend a hand, especially at schools where he isn't a booster. He tells of buying a car for a Florida kid he steered to LSU more than a decade ago. Former Miami and Seattle Seahawks star defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy, who grew up in nearby Osceola, Ark., is an occasional houseguest and has a key to a second-floor room.” *********************************************************** Go figure.
