Thayer Evans Has Moved On From Oklahoma State, Strikes Again

Ohhhhh Thayer!

The much-maligned “reporter” of the Oklahoma State “scandal” a few years ago is back at it. This time at UC-Davis. Awful Announcing had the tale, and it does not make Thayer look very good.

Thayer reported that UC-Davis’ head coach was fired. Then UC-Davis tweeted at him and called the entire thing a “fabrication.” Then Sports Illustrated pulled the story entirely!

Then this happened.

SI has reported that UC Davis has fired HC Ron Gould.

UC Davis just emailed me. They aren’t happy. Per UC Davis, SI report is fabrication.

Nice. Look, I get it, mistakes happen. But this dude seems to have a penchant for forcing his mistakes down our throats and calling it reporting. And maybe in the end, the UC-Davis coach does get fired and Thayer gets to tell all of us to shove it. But after the Oklahoma State, he sure doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt.
