Transfers/Recruits - LB Era?

[RI Stang]

My bad, mis-read it. Go stangs

If we get Laken to retweet them, do they become credible?

You guys make me laugh!

This reminds me of an incident last football season where Laken showed up to practice after it was all over and asked one of our guys if a certain injured player was at practice. Our reporter replied that, "Yes, the player was at practice today."

Evidently she misinterprited that, because later that afternoon I get a text from a PonyFan about a story Laken wrote about that player. She posted that the player looked good at practice, seemed to run and cut well, performed admirably in drills, etc.

The player in question WAS at practice... But in street clothes. We had a nice chat with him over on the "sidelines" in fact.

I've never joined in on piling on the insults towards the girl, but that is inexcusably [deleted] poor "journalism"

That's about what you can expect from a [deleted] poor journalist. I also like how she re-tweets any praise she gets- she really thinks she's the cat's meow. She has a pretty obvious anti-SMU agenda and never misses the opportunity to twist the knife and take a shot at SMU. The day she gets a job somewhere else can't come soon enough.

It is probably also the day Scout's sMu site starts getting a decent number of subscribers. Apparently, she doesn't understand that part of her job is to sell subscriptions by getting sMu fans excited about what is inside the paywall. I would bet Scout lags Rivals by at least a factor of 10.

Armen, who I understand is a Tech fan, manages to keep journalistic integrity without becoming a mouthpiece for the program and the fans. He reports the good news and the bad news with a fairness and without an open bias for another program. As a UT Law alum, I have read Orangebloods.com during the FB season. Their main guy, Chip Brown (an SMU alum BTW), does the same thing.

Wish Larry Brown could say we're going in a different direction for Big East coverage.
