JK is far from perfect, the attendance thing being a perfect example, and he’s no GA but some of the things he gets dinged on is a freakin joke. If I remember, GA would always call out the "actual" attendance also. The difference being we had better attendance and GA flooded us content. GA spoiled us, and JK is some combo of not as good/not as interested/ held back by editors. Doesn't help that he's not a cheerleader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had questions regarding numerous USF topics and he's been receptive and answered them. Instead griping about his coverage on a board give him a call or an email. Just like griping about USF Athletics. Attend a Board Meeting. They are open to the public. I'm not trying to be combative. More just offering opportunities to be heard beyond a fan website. Go Bulls! I have seen the snark that he responds to anyone that remotely criticizes or questions him on Twitter. Doesn't quite play out the way you are describing.

Give him a call with a few examples and speak with him. As for attendance, reporting butts in seats is a staple of the job. Not his job to put butts in seats. That position is open at USF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has made his position clear on why he reports actual attendance and yet still gets the question “why do you do it?” Instead of complaining about the messenger it would be great if people actually went to the game...which after all is the real problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not speaking specifically to the attendance issue. I am talking about his responses in general. Everyone is free to draw their own conclusions, but if you go read his tweets and replies, he comes across to me as snarky and needlessly defensive at times. None of this changes the fact that he is essentially a glorified Google News Alert retweeting the work of others, doesn't seem to have fostered the relationships necessary to get breaking news, and seems generally disinterested in covering USF.

Disagree...facts matter...as does actual attendance. He harps on it just like many of us do....because the lack of student and community support frustrates us like crazy. If it doesn't then you just don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have examples, but there have been times when I thought “that could have been written differently and it wouldn’t have seemed so negative”. You would think the beat writer for a school would take those steps to bring positivity to the program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
