Tennessee HC Josh Heupel spoke with media across the #SEC on Wednesday during the weekly SEC coaches teleconference. I asked him what has been the most difficult part of coaching this season. Heupel: "The hardest thing you encounter is the turnover on your roster, with the transfer portal and NIL, all of those things. I think that's the biggest thing that has changed in the sport. And I think in part because of that, you know, keeping your team together during the duration of the season, the focus of your team, week in, week out, and really as much as anything, day in, day out, to be your best by game day, is the biggest thing that, you know, you got to do a great job of.”
Walter Kirn: Everything that happens before the election is a PSYOP.
KIRN: “Everything that happens, the polling, the rumors, the word of mouth, the social media posts, the trends, the little anecdotes that get repeated and go viral. Everything is subordinate to that election. And none of it is true in and of itself. It's all instrumental.”
“Not only don't I trust the polls, I do trust the polls. I trust them to be nudging people in all the ways that polls can for all the people who can pay for polls.”
“The news now is all about behavior modification. It's not about truth.”
For the next week, every poll or viral story you see, don't ask if it's true. Ask what it's trying to get you to do.
