I think Ron Meyer and Haden Fry are better. I suspect they are going with win/loss record only

Depends on which they you're talking about. Some bleacher reporters are actually quite good. In this case, they probably went by record and rankings alone.

Credibility usually gets blown very few times. Maybe 2 or 3 at the most. :roll:

Well it's a little like saying that the library is not credible because you read two or three bad books there.

It is a blogger site. There is no credibility inherantly anymore than YouTube does.

I do not disagree but selling to Time Warner for $200 million did give them a little more oomph in the market. They are becoming more prevalent in reporting even if not more accurate.

I refuse to give them any page views that might help justify that $200 million valuation

While I feel that bleacherreport lacks credibility I also feel that they give us more praise/coverage than any other website that's not affiliated with SMU....

That F- re Collins got SMU the death penalty because he didn't have the stones to stand up to the powers at SMU. The 20 years of failure after he left are on him.

He was the worst coach in SMU history.
