Thread: Interview With McClelland/Shreveport Times

    Interview With McClelland/Shreveport Times

    Couple of things, guys... First, really enjoyed visiting with Tommy McClelland this past Friday when he came to Shreveport for a meet and greet with the media. He is as sharp as a tack---and very forthcoming with his opinions. I wrote an article the other day re: a few topics that are at the forefront of college football with Tommy's reactions (http://www.thetimfletchershow.com/20...ector-has.html )

    Interestingly, the only other media entity that conducted an interview with Tommy was The Shreveport Times (good ol' Jimmy!). Today, Roy Lang posted a story in the paper, introducing me as a member of The Times family... i'll be writing a Sunday column and doing a video feature once/week. I will not be stepping on Jimmy or Matt's toes in covering the Dogs and Techsters---but---i do like a good story! If any of y'all have something in mind that deserves more in depth coverage than we could provide at the television station, feel free to email me: getflechsports@yahoo.com

    thanks... and congratulations on having T-McC running things in Ruston!

    Wonder why he isn't starting officially until October 1st? That's a long time when college football is your biggest sport. Looks like he'll do a great job for us....and has obviously already started to work.

    Yep - symantics

    McNeese officially gave him his release Friday afternoon and is supposed to be in Ruston Monday...

    What can we expect from your columns Fletch?

    Don't you agree we need a coach's show in football and men's basketball?

    I saw him say AUGUST 1st in other interviews. Either you misheard him or T-Mac misspoke.

    Fletch, congrats on the new gig! I'd like to read a piece on who you think will emerge as the "leaders" of this year's squad. I know guys like Hunter Lee and DJ Banks live their faith overtly and I thought either/both could step into that role. I know IK has dedicated himself to being a force on the field. He was also fairly outspoken at the CUSA media days. I'm curious as to who will step up and bridge the gap from the Dykes era to Holtz.

    Maybe the 10/1 date is when the contract will be officially approved through the University System.

    Really, folks? We're going to argue with one of the few people who will be responsible for any news that others will hear about our Dawgs? Is being right on such a trivial matter so important that you're willing to risk pissing off one of those who controls how we are viewed in the area of the state we need the most?

    Don't wish to be accused of being right on a trivial matter, but, it's "grandmothers." Simple plural form of the word. Not, "grandmother's", the possessive form. :icon_wink:
