Another so called "journalist" attacks Clemson
Aug 21, 2019, 1:24 PM

I'm not gonna link the article nor will i identify the news outlet (and i use news loosely), but if you know who Will Folks is you know what site i'm referring to. This guy is a usuc grad and he writes a piece today quoting...get this...a Michigan guy saying that a unnamed team offered rashan gary 300k to sign him. He goes on to say it wasn't Ohio State so naturally Folks makes the leap to it must be Clemson. He also wrote some other BS distorting what Steve Smith said to fit his narrative.
I don't quite understand why this offseason Clemson has been attacked so vigorously by the media. I can't recall Alabama ever catching this much heat in the news.....or was i just not paying attention?

Off.
The coots know they can’t catch us or beat us fair and square. They have to hope for some sort of scandal to end our run.. it’s not going to happen
The funny thing is the Michigan writer claims Gary was offered $300k and went to Michigan instead. How deluded was the Michigan writer that thinks Michigan is such a great program that someone gave up $300k to go there for free?!
There have been articles with anonymous sec coaches saying Saban is dirty. He owns a car lot that provides vehicles for players. They love deer antler spray, etc. nobody cares about unsubstantiated claims, as they shouldn’t.

Yeah i probably should've used writer instead. I think this is the same DA that used to do a bit on 96wave radio station in Charleston back in the day. Called himself the southern avenger.

You really don't understand why? It is very simple. Clemson

is a non-SEC school who has elbowed their way into the Championship table. We have caused ESPN hacks to have egg on ye olde face, and they do not like it one little bit. We are showing no signs of going away anytime soon, so they are scrambling for ANYTHING they can throw out there to cast us in a less favorable light.
I really do expect some of this to change once the ACC Network launches. Once that happens, insults will be family on family crime, journalistically speaking, since Disney owns all these networks. And, as we have already seen with the massive cutbacks on staffing at ESPN, etc, Disney don't play around.

Well he said it wasn't O31O so everyone just assumed it was Clemson. Another big time program recruiting Gary hard at the time was Auburn. Imagine that, no one mentions them and they were getting extra cash from the SEC Network. Don't know if anything happened there, just saying .......

Wasn't this the same kid who allegedly received a racist voicemail from a fan right before his official visit?

A little background on this guy. He's a proven liar and sleazeball.
Aug 21, 2019, 1:50 PM

-Arrested for domestic violence
-Was sued for defamation by a SC congressman after he wrote that he was soon to be indicted on ethics charges. Proven false and he lost.
-Claimed that he had an affair with Gov. Haley. He may or may not have, but tried to sell the story so that's classy.
He's a POS and has no credibility.

If you google Will Folks the second link to show up is about losing a libel case. Pretty much all you need to know.

Also fits was fake news before fake news was popular. By far one of the most sleazy sites I've seen.

The headline for the trash article popped up on Google and I didn’t click on it. That guy is a prick wanting to get attention any way he can. Definition of a bottom feeder.

You weren't paying attention.

Will Folks is 100% not a journalist or a writer. He’s a guy with a website, a criminal record, and a history of lies and attention grabbing. He’s the original fake news.

Back in Jan 2016 ,when Michigan's AD first made
Aug 21, 2019, 6:47 PM
|
|
the claim that incentives were made at an award ceremony in Atlanta,everyone assumed it was Ole Miss. Seen over on the Chicken boards, some are claiming it was Auburn. I reemember that Auburn ,along with Ole Miss was trying to get to him that weekend in Atlanta.
Of course, even then ,it's still a claim from a school that hired his high school coach and gave "several" local scholarships.

The person putting this out again is a Michigan writer who is trying to sale his book. He also doesn’t name Clemson at all. Just a way to get his name on everyone’s radar so they will buy his book.
