No, you really haven't. You based a decent portion of your argument accusing SMU of stonewalling Shipp, for which you have no evidence. And kind of admitted you were wrong:
About the "stonewalled" comments, I re-read the article and I think I was reading this wrong
And then you speculate that Shipp ambushed Brown because of the non-existent evidence of stonewalling:
So, while I would still wager that my rationale on why Shipp approached Larry Brown that way was because he wasn't getting anywhere trying to call, you guys are right in that Shipp did not outright say he had tried to contact them before the Houston bombing incident.
You may ultimately be correct that Shipp tried to contact Brown, though I'm surprised Shipp didn't mention that last night. But like just about everyone on this board, you are speculating and drawing inferences. You aren't anywhere near as objective as you think you are. And I say that agreeing with you that some of the more aggressive attacks on Shipp are misguided or premature at this point, because we don't know anything close to all of the facts.
