I don't expect him to be a cheerleader for USF.

I do expect him to concentrate mainly on USF, since he is our beat writer.

He certainly can't shine Auman's shoes.

Take it up with the Times editors, not JK.

JK picked us to win the East and Conference.  Should we call him a homer?

JK hates USF!  How dare he pick USF to win the conference!  He must be fired!

They have other writers to focus on UCF and the other Florida schools but JK was just at media days and had the chance to interview these guys. It makes sense to write an article as a reporter on a topic that you have deliberation on. Found no problem in it;  in fact, he's been writing and tweeting very positive things about USF all year going into this season. 

AAC Media Days was a spectacle in and of itself, I'm sure he has enough content for more articles if he so chooses.

I do admit I jumped the gun a bit, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way.  Anytime I've asked him a question about USF (not in a sarcastic manner) he replies with some snarky comment.  I just don't remember Auman being like this.  I've just gotten the feel that JK isn't a big fan of what he's doing. 

This times 100. I have wanted to interact with him on Twitter, but seeing the way he reacts to any sort of questioning, it is clear that he cannot engage in a healthy discussion. His defensiveness, sarcasm, and snark are apparent. It would be easier to digest if he were actually funny/witty, but he is neither.

And don't forget the pitchforks and torches too. :angrymob:

Thanks for saving me the click.  I have no interest in reading about UCF or Coach Frost, unless it's a post game "We got our aces kicked by USF...uncanny!"

He was asked by his boss to write an article on UCF and he didn't want to get fired?

Well, there's that, and I suppose if we want to ready about USF in other markets, we can't complain.  Still, screw those Frosty Knights.

I loved Auman as USF's beat writer, but he was far from snark free.

+1000. Auman was fine but Jesus that has been about four years since he left. As for JK, he does a good job covering the Bulls with multiple articles, never misses a presser, and does a complete video after ever game. Some of you should hear the ******** from Cincy and Tulsa fans about the nonexistent coverage they get.

I remember when we didn't even have a beat writer, and I would almost "get the vapors" any time ESPN would mention our school.
