Concerned about Shaw finishing his career strong

[CousinRicky]

 

 

 

The new guys who took over for Auman are kind of big douchebags. Both ask leading and instigating questions and write negatively/apathetically about the hometown team.

Even when we were 3-9 last year, Auman wasn't writing anything like Jeff Odom or Joey Knight.

Creating "breaking news" due to being negative isn't a way to get people in Tampa to read your garbage. You aren't an ABC news anchor.

I'll take my negative and criticizing views from Voodoo Five because those guys bleed green and gold.

 

Well said!!! I have been reading more Joey Johnston from the Trib.  He is a USF alumn and is not bashing as much. He kind of calls it like it is which is fair. Hopefully the others get better next season as I will give them a one year break being their 1st year covering USF. 

 

 

Just to be fair, and since I'm curious, I'd like to see an example of where either of us have been "bashing" or "disrespecting" the program in any way. Or "created breaking news" for that matter. Once again, it's our job to report on what's going on with the athletic department at USF, whether that's things that are positive, negative or neutral. I'm not sure what more I can say. But, regardless, thanks for reading.

 

 

Don't get all reporter on me with your "it's our job to report the facts" nonsense. Joey Knight is teaching you the WRONG way to cover a local team and if you continue to follow his model, you BOTH will be out of a job in the future. Nobody is asking you to be a homer...but unbiased, fair, and no cheap jab reporting would be nice. Articles insinuating there are enough USF fans are calling for Taggart's head to even write about and asking instigating questions to Shaw about the run game (what the hell were you trying to do there? Pit him against the Coach?) come to the top of my mind since they just happened.

 

Its the way you write about the facts, not what you're reporting that is irking people. Do yourself a favor and call Greg Auman for pointers and tips, don't emulate Knight.

 

 

Think he already told us that they weren't his questions.  Chill out. 

 

From above:

 

"For the record, neither of us asked the questions. It's a circle of reporters that conduct the interviews during practices and we report what each player and coach says. As seen above, I cited the questions asked and the player's response in a quote."

@ByJeffOdom: Asked if he thinks the ground game has stalled out, #USF RB Marcus Shaw said "I don't want to answer that."

@ByJeffOdom: Asked if he's frustrated with the way the running game is going recently, Marcus Shaw said: "Nah. It's not frustrating. It's football." #USF

Looks like he asked them to me. Unless it was just worded badly. And even he if didn't ask them, why the hell would you report it if it was a trash question and Shaw declined to comment?

No need to "chill out" slugger, I'm just voicing my opinion.

I enjoy and appreciate their coverage.

I enjoy and appreciate their coverage. It wasn't worded incorrectly you just assumed it was Jeff that asked the question.

 

Personally I like that he posted the answers. It shows us the players are frustrated too. It means that they still care.

Also, for the record, the BM still lives in the area ....hmmmmm.

 

I really don't follow either of the paper's bloggers that close but one thing I have noticed, and I don't know if Greg started doing this or not, but in the next day game articles, both papers, I think, have been giving the actual attendance rather than the historical wink wink "announced" attendance ... Would be curious as to why the change.

It works like this.  Say after a Rays game Todd Kalas asks Joe Maddon a question.  A reporter from the Times with a recorder in his hand writes afterwards "When asked if Evan Longoria is an all-star, Joe Maddon said 'yes'".  The writer from the Times didn't ask the question but reported it.  This is what the writer told us what happened.

 

And no, I'm not a slugger.  Didn't get past Little League in baseball.

10-4. Got it. Maybe I'm just missing out on reporter jargon, but there is a big difference between "When asked if..." and "Asked if...", is there not? I suppose grammar and sentence structure may have gotten the better of me in this case.

 

"When asked if CounsinRicky was a slugger, he said he didn't get past little league baseball" (this sounds like someone else asked you)

 

"Asked if CousinRicky was a slugger, he said he didn't get past little league baseball" (this sounds like I asked you)

Did finally read the column this morning and have to agree somewhat with the naysayers, primarily based on this:

 

Athletic director Doug Woolard said the sparse turnouts won't keep his department — with revenue streams that also include portions of a conference TV contract — from keeping its budget balanced a 10th consecutive year.

 

And amid calls for his job (and, to a far lesser degree, Taggart's), Woolard remains encouraged by Taggart's groundwork for the future and the audiences of the past. In 2007, when the Bulls briefly were national darlings, two crowds (West Virginia, UCF) exceeded 65,000.

 

 

Really?? I'd like to see some evidence of these higher degree calls for DW's head .... outside of the Numbnut Legion on this board .... which is anything but a higher degree.

I don't really see a difference in those two. Both could mean the writer of the article asking or someone else there asking ...

[Dhambuc]

We have a fan base (on this board in particular)  that likes to whine and complain If ANYONE says anything that isn't Green and Gold colored ROOHRAHH Glasses or Go Bulls. They are called names, or  " hating" on USF or a UCF troll.  (Some on here personally attack anyone who says ANYTHING that is not positive about the program( true or untrue).    Suck it up people!!!!.   When we start winning the articles and press will change what it is being reported. Right now we are a team that lost to McNeese St, FAU,   (Ball St last year)  , sitting with 2 wins( UConn who is winless, and Cincy which would destroy us if we played them today).   

We deserve ANY negative press we get at this point in the season. At least they are still talking about us.

 

Win and all this will change.
