It's intentional what they are doing (or not doing).

It's obvious.
Our leaders continue to suck up to them.

Tmac on vacation, saw on Twitter he is fishing in the Gulf this past weekend. I wonder if he is back in the office.

Nothing is going to change with the coverage we get from Gannett until there is a change in management overseeing sports coverage.
Re: New Gannett "beat writer" for Tech/Grambling/HS
Any comment from our Fearless Leaders about this?

In general he is really complimentary on Tech and is of the opinion that we are a clear 2 in Louisiana and better than most P5 teams that are having a down season. At least when I listen, 7:30-8:30, I feel like it is an even mix between pro sports, LSU, Tech, and high school.
To say it's an even mix is quite frankly not true.
If all you expect is about 15 minutes of Tech talk over the 900 minutes he's on air each week, then I guess you could call it fair 28 weeks of the year.
Over the last year, Fletch has aired:
- 0 Guice interviews
- 1 McClelland interview
- 12 Holtz interviews
- 9 Konkol interviews
- 0 Stoehr interviews
- 2 Burroughs interview
- 2 Montgomery interviews
- 0 player interviews
- 1 SID interview
- 0 Nitz, Allen, Thigpen interviews
- 0 Tech beat writer interviews
- 0 BleedTechBlue interviews
- 1 former player interview (McCown)
That's only 28 total Tech segments over an entire year, which equals less than 0.9% of Fletch's air time. Maybe I should be generous and count Cordaro's 19 interviews. Martie ups it to 47 total Tech segments over the entire year, which equals about only about 1.5% of air time. He talks a little Tech here and there outside those segments when prompted by listeners so I'd put his total Tech talk at about 2% of his entire show. I don't know about you, but I think the biggest show in North Louisiana deserves a lot more than 2% of the air time. Fox, Mintz, and Dietrich give Tech at least quadruple the Tech talk that Fletch does, and Dietrich's show is an hour shorter. It's also fact that Fletch cut his Tech talk in half after NWST started sponsoring his show.
And Fletch's opinion of Tech changes when he has ULL's Travis Webb on the show.

I disagree. It's a very different audience.

I'd tweet at Guice (and TMac, I guess) but I dont receive either the Times or the News Star. So I don't have a dawg in the fight.
