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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we call him a homer? JK hates USF! How dare he pick USF to win the conference! He must be fired! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/college/new-era-of-liberation-under-ucf-coach-scott-frost/2330785 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!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
