Is it just me or are they pretty biased? They called our signing day "sub-par" and I was just reading the article about Coordinator hires. They gave us a B for Diaz but said we "struggled against the run" last year. I thought it was the complete opposite. Thoughts?

That's the same place that stirred up the Dillon Day crap. They have an axe to grind with us for sure. I used to follow them, no more.

I'm not sure they are biased, just ignorant. Uninformed.

Putting out articles for the sake of producing content. The accuracy of the content seems to be irrelevant to them.

I have no idea about them in general, but what you just quoted is awful analysis.

In my experience SDS is uninformed and biased toward the "bigger money" and "traditional powerhouse" schools. I rarely read their material.

They were briefly in our favor after we beat LSU, but that is about it.

They were doing some shit stirring for clicks on facebook in the month leading up to signing day, talking about how a few of our recruits are likely to flip, but gave no reason why. I unfollowed them after they did that twice in one day. They are just a regional Bleacher Report.

So our recruiting is sub par when we sign 2 stars and when we sign 4 stars. Yeah, no bias there.

Are there two MSU football squads, the one I watched and saw was pretty stout against the run excepting GT in the OB. I didn't watch the other MSU. Why do I even click on their crap? Really solid evals they put out there.

This is the one who wrote the article, so enough said on anybody thinking SDS is a competent reliable source.

"An itinerant journalist, Christopher has moved between states 11 times in seven years. Formally an injury-prone Division I 800-meter specialist, he now wanders the Rockies in search of high peaks."

I remember them making a big deal about how Dak was almost certain to declare for the NFL draft this past year. Even when he made his formal announcement one SDS article was like "The NFL deadline is still 2 days away and Prescott might still change his mind."

Overall I think the site is pretty hit or miss. Some decent writers and some morons. Essentially a higher-quality Bleacher Report.

Not necessarily biased, they just don't put a lot of effort or research into their "articles".

Right.

You're not getting any well-reasoned, well-researched articles from SDS.

They are just hammering out a constant flow of random ideas to generate traffic. I doubt they spend more than 10 or 15 minutes on these articles.
