Does Tech's Gannett beat writer still cover Tech?

[JuBru]

What legitimate question are you referring to? We've covered the Tech playing ULM thing about 1,000 times. If a 20-something year old sports writer writes about it, do you think everybody will suddenly say, "WOW, that's brilliant. Why didn't WE think of that?"

Can we win CUSA.

[HogDawg]

Can we win CUSA.

I agree. There's certainly nothing wrong with writing an article about that. That's just a football story.

[PawDawg]

He is horrible, but it's obvious that his bosses have demanded he spend as much ink and space on Grambling as Tech. That's either a continued dig at our AD who refuses to mend fences or some obscure political move to appease the smattering of Grambling fans in the region.

[Dawg06]

This hack is clueless.

For the Tech-NWST game preview, he writes about how Tech should be playing ULM.

For the Tech-USA game preview, he writes a column asking if Tech can win C-USA.

You say that because he asked a legitimate question? Or because of how he argued it?

I say that because of when he published those stories and what he missed publishing instead.

He published two silly columns on game day as game previews when his thoughts had absolutely nothing to do with the game that day. There was plenty to write about with Tech playing NWST and a Belter. If he wants to publish those columns, that's fine, but let's try to do them when they are relevant and not miss out on previewing the game of the day.

Does he post them or do they go through some kind of editing process first?

In other and more accurate words, you're being overly nitpicky over nothing. Got it.

I told you guys a while back that the content in all those Ganett "Newspapers" was going to be almost nothing but FEATURE stories going forward. I started noticing it in the Shreveport Times last spring. Feature stories are very flexible because they are not date sensitive (within reason). They can be written, saved and published at a later --more convenient-- date. Think "Fillers". This is a great example.

Does anyone at The Times know we have a game tomorrow? Unless I missed something, we haven't had a single story published since Sunday's staff report article on page 3 about our win vs. UTEP. The Wednesday story on Holtz is more about him and Arkansas. It doesn't even mention when or where we play this weekend. This is really pathetic.

They hate us.

Ruston Leader doesn't do any better.

I see they sent Cory Diaz down to New Orleans to cover Grambling.

To cover Grambling's on-going political corruption?

Oh you mean their second-tier protected status football team.
