On the subject of our media personnel being the worst, I have a few thoughts. Local sports media personnel will inherently have a significant bias and be fan's of the sport and team. There may be a few outliers but in general this is the case. The main reason media covering bama and dwags and ohio state wear kid gloves and run cover for periodic misgivings is because the product on the field is one they like and want to protect/sustain. The beat writers dont want shart or day to get bad press b/c they are winning. The Tennessee example was used when the last idiot was HC there. That guy sucked and they couldn't win squat, so yeah when it was revealed he was involved in some egregious stuff they put it out there. But ask yourself this, has there been any bad press about Tennessee since Heupel arrived? it's all the same guys writing articles. Do we really think hes a saint, or is it b/c everyone finally likes the product on the field? You want negative local press to stop? Start freaking winning. Weve been an absolute LOSER for going on 15 years now. What are the beat writers supposed to say? Everything is wonderful? Well, dooley did that for years, and we all hated his guts b/c it was total BS. Now all of a sudden its unfair and out of bounds? I really dont care either way, but for those of you that think this isnt directly linked to winning, i got some water front property in new mexico id like to sell you. It's real nice.
