I met Auman once at a sandwich shop in Vero (after the final Holtz ill advised camp in Dodger Town). He was very friendly, talked openly about USF and other sports and seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I hated when he left. I mostly like JK, though at times he gets a little snarky, without great reason. Still, the coverage is pretty good, but frankly, I get most of my USF news from Twitter. Tito Benach is the best in many ways, as far as breaking news and not being combative. Jeff Odom is a JK mentee, but often does good work. Frankly, I'm just glad there is more positive news to report than ever, and enough media out there (Twitter, here, blogs, etc.). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tito is outstanding...gives great news without trying to be "cute" like the others. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amusing to me that some of you guys are so consumed with your hatred of all-things UCF that you flip out about a benign article like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one that could be classified as a "flip out" over the article was the OP and even he later admitted he may have jumped the gun a bit. Everyone else pretty much also saw the article as benign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict more such UCF hissy fits in the days ahead, though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have hissy fits that pop up here from time to time ..... It's the, rare these days, dueling fits that get beamed over to other board.
