Surly needs a press pass

[immamac 42857]

I'm going to seriously pursue getting one. If the clowns at OB can have them it's time for us to have one. 

Anyone have any connections or insight they can give on the requirements and process? 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Why? You’re not intelligent. On what fucking planet does Surly need one? 

[Moby Ric 2058]

The only reason I think this is a good idea is how bad it will end up.

I'm trying to imagine the conversation between you, as a site administrator, and somebody in Belmont who grants these sort of things would go.

"Coach, can you verify the authenticity of this grainy video someone took of a guy that looks like Urban Meyer at a dinner party not wearing a mask? Thoughts?"  

[TonyTexas 10515]

That’d be like wanting a handicap tag for better parking. 

[Skipper 6135]

I think the first question they are going to ask you is who exactly does Surlyhorns employ as a journalist to write articles.

Is it too late to get Chip Brown?

In another two weeks, I’ll have time. I’ll do it.

actually, if derka was our press representative and streamed his reports on a surly pay forum I would pony up for that.

Someone pm Nick Wagner on Twitter. I hear he's really cool and doesn't do things like file petty PI lawsuits against UT organizations.

We have a few legit photographers.

Don't you guys request that in the form of a banner towed behind aircraft?

[TKthunder2 4992]

When I worked for a small independent publication, I asked for a press pass and they told me to go up to Kinkos with a headshot photo and a guy made me one for like $10 in less than 30 minutes.  It was nothing official but it worked to get me in free with sideline/press box access at most high school football games.  Getting access to UT requires you to get cleared by their media liaisons which isn’t easy from what I hear.

@Brisketexan is the logical answer. They’d see how long his articles are and realize nobody would read them anyway. Pass granted.

[Willfully Horn 8017]

Doesn’t Emeritus have an audience of a bazillion? Does that count?

reach out to the r/CFB community on reddit maybe?

i know they have gone through this process and the "reporter" changes fairly often depending on the location, etc

Can you imagine Derka as a reporter?  Every perceived slight would cause a meltdown of epic proportions. I’d definitely pay for it. 

Sending DD to Shaka's post game press conferences would be the angle here. The vast majority of his questions would take 5 minutes, and contain a scathing teardown of Shaka's coaching ethos, but primarily serve as a vehicle to highlight Rick Barnes career coaching achievements. The remainder would just be short recaps of Tenn latest games or Barnes latest recruiting achievements. I say we do it.  If CDC won't fire Shaka, let's pull out the big guns and hope Shaka decides there are easier ways to make $3 million a year. 

[futureman 22469]

yeah but gribble is a dirty aggy

[RPM 26322]

I used to have one years ago when I worked in radio. It wasn't that hard to get.

I’m pretty sure you meant to say and imbed the overcusser. 
 

yeah coach Meyer, surly Texas here, on that last td our defensive back looked like he didn’t know what the fuck he was doing.  Comments on that shitty play?

Yeah, contact Mike Bianco, oh wait, dipshit fired him.

Seriously, I was not aware that they offer a generic press pass.  When I was doing media, my editor had to put in a request for each event he wanted me to cover, and I'd pick up the game pass day of game.

Can't stop laughing...

lol @ the self importance on display. "surly needs a press pass." 

what does "surly" need a press pass for? what even is surly? a sad modicum of a partial slice of what shaggy once was in its prime? an internet message board almost entirely dedicated to grown men compulsively and obsessively wrecking their own emotional and mental health over politics and college football? a site where the owner is a hypersensitive aggy version of campus loopy and lhg? yeah, this site definitely deserves a press pass. for suuuurrreeeee. 👌🏼

They’ll give you two drink tickets and a VIP pass, but the fine print will read very impotent penis.  Happens all the time.

Use the "Multiquote" button damn it

IDK why derka is such a fucking whiney bitch who can't stay away from the site since it sucks so bad, but he would definitely be at the top of my list to send in with the pass to ask questions.

serious question- when you're reading surly, do you actually read ahead to then end of every thread, figure out which posts you want to reply to, then scroll back up, use the multi quote function, and reply to each of them piecemeal? because i sure don't.

[MagicSoccerSpray 1732]

You can click the plus sign at the bottom left of each post as you read them and then hit the "quote posts" button that appears at the bottom right of the screen to paste them in the reply dialog box when you're finished with a thread. It keeps posters from scroll bombing a thread with an individual reply per post. Try it.

[Guest Lobo]

What at all does Orangeblood's press pass entitle them to?  They get to attend press conferences for all sports?  Do they get up in the press box/down on the field as well? 

[dingleberryswitzer 2724]

I know a guy who has plenty of free time, and is considered the best in the business.   But be prepared, he doesn't come cheap.  I think his last gig paid upwards of 6 figs.

1st direct good question that makes a coach nervous press pass bye bye.
