Jahdae Barron is a BMF

It's perfectly legitimate for a reporter, at a press event, to ask a pertinent question about a player's health. It's totally fine if Bond and the rest of the players were coached to offer a non-committal reply, but the reporter was just doing their job while covering a promotional news event.

Also Barron was badass this year and will definitely be missed. Kudos to the NIL team for retaining him, and the coaches for coaching him up.

Agreed on all counts. I've practiced and taught both journalism and PR. A reporter who doesn't ask questions isn't much of a reporter at all. Not trying to go CR here, but our system depends on as much independent journalism as we can get. The PR end needs to be ready for that, and it sounds like Jahdae was.

I hear you. I don't think I explained it well. The players were absolutely invited 'cause Raising Cane's wanted publicity for their contribution to the Boys and Girls Club of Austin. But don't ask the player about his injury when he just starts speaking about the event.

Who cares if it was a reporter at a press event….no one owes the media anything.

Anyone can tell the media to fuck off anytime they want. The point there was Barron was being a good teammate to Bond. Just because you are trying to be a good journalist doesn’t mean you have everyone else’s ethics and best interest in mind.

Where did you teach Journalism and PR, if you are willing to say?

It is comical how many people are flattered to be interviewed by media thinking it will be a good thing for them, and it all goes horribly wrong.

MAN FUCK THIS ASSHOLE!!!! 😡 

lol are y’all serious right now?

You can say whatever you believe or want. That’s the best part.

One side is a player that’s talking about his body. It’s how he eats and delivers a better life for his family.

The other side has a job to sell a story regardless of their audience, personal opinions or moral compass.

So please, tell me which side should have more empathy and understanding. On a bigger scale, fuck the media, fuck social media and fuck reporters.

Best part about going to a game in person is you can watch it how you want and not have to listen to some mongoloid on a mic blab about a bunch of bullshit. 
 

Same thing with this message board. Just sit back and read the nonsense from all of the moronic psychopaths that post here (myself included).

I was offended that the reporter interrupted the holiday press conference devoted to charity to ask about the player's health.

i’m not offended, i just don’t get it. calling a guy an asshole for asking such a standard, simple question that can be answered and done with with a simple, “feeling good” just seems a bit much.

Now I'm offended that you aren't offended. That's really offensive.

LSU is now more QBU and WRU though it's staggering how little mileage they got out of the 2nd round.  Definitely should have kept yaw-yaw

We're tied with LSU and fOSU with all three of us having 3 Thorpe winners. It's been awhile since the aforementioned have had one. So as we just got one, we're DBU now. 

But.you are absolutely correct that both LSU and tOSU are WRU/QBU, and it's not really close in 3rd. Those 2 churn out WR'sQB's regardless of who they have ats a coach.  

Gotta say, it's impressive.

we have been DBU since 1983 and at no point since then has that ever changed. 

good luck choosing your starting five from (among others) jerry gray, mossy cade, bryant westbrook, michael huff, aaron ross, quentin jammer, earl thomas, cedric griffin, jahdae barron, nathan vasher, and so on and so forth.  we have an embarrassment of riches all time at that position.

off the top of my head, i guess i would go:

CB: Westbrook

CB: Jammer

S1: Gray

S2: Huff

Nickel: ET

 

leaving the 2-deep looking like:

CB: Jahdae

CB: Ross 

S1: Cade

S2: Vasher

Nickel: ced griffin

 

that’s without mentioning stanley richard, tarrell brown, chris carter, michael griffin, craig curry, taje allen, aaron williams, or any of the 7 former UT DB’s who are currently in the NFL. Texas is and always has been DBU.

Still teaching PR up in Big 10 country (though not a BIG school).  First teaching gig was an assistantship in UT's journalism department and have done grad work/taught at a couple of other Big XII schools. Also still do some minor freelance journalism on the side on occasion. 

I get the impatience with reporters (especially TV folks -- and even more so as an admittedly biased former newspaper reporter 😁).

Excellent and congrats! I know how interesting it is now with all the new media. As a magazine publisher, PR connected to social media is a major part of our world.  

And yes, I am biased towards print reporters vs TV reporters. Real coverage vs sound bites and stunts.

there needs to be a law (punishable by fine) for brevity and clarity when it comes to reporters asking questions. typical example:

”jim, obviously you guys had the quick turn around, coming off a couple of back to backs last week, this part of the schedule this time of year and with the weather delays, travel has obviously been a concern, wanna talk about, er, ask, for you guys, going into a series like this knowing that you’ve got the sharks and the jets coming up, just wanna get your thoughts on-“ MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION IN THERE SOMEWHERE?!?! jesus christ that shit drives me crazy.

Agree in principle, but at the front of the classroom, I'm that guy -- the antithesis of brevity. I survive by mocking myself for talking too damn much and remind students that I'm a writer because only then am I able to follow brevity guidelines.

is that a challenge? you come for the king you best not miss. 

Well, over the internet, that would probably have to be in stream-of-consciousness writing rather than spoken, so ... nah. My internet tough guy days are over.

Carpal tunnel, trigger finger, arthritis. I mean, I can fill up space every now and then, but those are my excuses. I just talk a lot sometimes, but I'm not claiming to actually be any good at it.
