New Gannett "beat writer" for Tech/Grambling/HS

Can you say 3-days-a-week?

I wonder if our advertising sales experts are still negotiating for the same deal we had 5 years ago with the Gannett guys.

If that happens, they may get less LSU-centric/Tech-hatin' editors/writers and more of an unbiased group from Texas (unbiased in terms of Louisiana at least) ;) Weren't Ferrell and someone else in Shreveport at Gannett Tech Hatin'

Ferrell and Lang refuse to cover Tech unless 1) we're playing LSU or 2) something bad happens.

I hope Jimmy Watson lands on his feet. He deserves much better treatment that he seems to have received from Gannett.

So I guess when we beat LSpoo next year they'll refuse to publish that too ;)

I notice Ferrell staffed a NSU scrimmage the other day . . . .

No one has mentioned it here but there is a web site called The Louisiana Tech Media Hub at www.latechreport.com/ that puts all of the recent articles on line. Most of you probably know about it.

I'd wager a member of this forum runs it ...

It will be interesting to see what happens to the Sunday LSU section of The Times after the season starts with their 7 PM print deadline. LSU-BYU won't end until after midnight.

Hmmm. I still remember Watson lambasting Tech fans for wanting to fire Jack Bicknell during his last year as coach. If Watson had his way, JBIII would still be our head coach.

Yeah, J.W. and many more of our fans loved Bicknell. Dooley made amends and things were great until The Times decided they didn't want anybody actually covering Tech. I guarantee it hurt him to see the lack of Tech coverage for the past several years over there.

Lang was on Mixin it up with Mintz this afternoon. He talked of his Los Angeles travels with the three Shreveport golfers playing in the US Am. He spoke a bit about getting geared up to cover H.S. football, lsu and the cowboys in addition to the 130M sports complex the City of Shreveport is proposing. If there are two teams that don't need a thread-bare sports staff covering it's lsu and the cowboys. Mintz is a different story. He had a great remote show last week at Freedom Fields covering the Dawgs.

You would think Donald Trump was head coach at TECH. No news but bad news. In fact, invite him to a game so they can kill two birds with one stone.
