Nobody cares about college baseball.

Standing buy while you attempt to find college baseball scores on a mainstream website. Nothing on ESPN, Yahoo, etc. Not cell phone apps like ScoreMobile either.

When I lived out of state before the days of hailstateTV, it was quite difficult trying to follow MSU baseball. There was no mention in Dallas of college baseball from any school until it was time for the CWS.

Marsh aside, This thinking is part of our problem...

Do you for one second think any one within or covering the Bears would turn them in if they had a lead about recruiting violations? I think the absence of ANY article of "This Kind' over the last decade is enough of an answer to you.

The reason we can't "Play the Game" as well as EVERYONE else, is we dont have EVERYONE together as one and going one direction.

You think for one second, that NONE of the writers that cover the Bears have had any inkling of a hint that some under the table, shady **** has occurred and really "Dug" into it? If there is any school in the SEC of recent years, outside of Auburn and Cam, UM has raised the most RED FLAGS of anyone. You dont think any of them could dig down and find a DeVinner or possibly 12 DeVinners. I hear about their **** repeatedly and I dont even live in MS anymore. I just heard some **** about them on signing day about trying to get a Top MS RB target's mom a job in Batesville over the summer so he could play his SR year at S Panola. They do this all the time, yet you never hear a story about it. If someone like me who's as far disconnedted from the UM athletic department knows this goes on, then you know damn well the writers who are there every day know the **** that goes on. The Bear writers just turn the blind eye and report NOTHING.

Now, back to the Marshmellow. Did anyone catch his article on Brewster leaving. He threw in a couple lines about Mirando being under NCAA investigation. Yes the information is true, but was is absolutely necessary to include in an article about a former coach taking a new coaching position? 17 no! From day 1, Marshmellow has continued to throw in ****** jabs in almost every positive MSU article. I recall one about us beating Florida for first time in 50 something years in the swamp and ended with a completely irrelevant NEGATIVE comment. He did this **** all the time. I'm glad his sorry *** is leaving. Now maybe positive MSU articles will be positive without some insignificant, irrelevant stat from 1913 about a completely different subject, putting a negative light on it.

I'd love to have Bob as a beat writer. I think he does great work and is exactly what we need--he is an MSU fan but tries to write objectively.

Exactly. And no, I don't think Bob would report information like that unless he had a VERY reliable source. Especially against MSU. And if he would, then he is not a good journalist. Journalists are just like reporters, and they are supposed to be reporting news or FACTS. If they want to write and report rumor and innuendo, they should get a job at a tabloid. The biggest problem is the rush to be the first to break a story...instead of checking to see if what some nobody told them is true, or where they got the info, they just throw it out there for the world to see. Why? Because if they're right, it's great for them...but if it's wrong there are No Consequences. If these idiots were held accountable, they would quit reporting rumors and message board fodder, and actually get there own sources and do their job. Quit being lazy, get out there, and be a real journalist.

I have no problem with someone liking what they like

But I don't like my MSU-based twitter feed flooded with sports that have nothing to do with the sports he covers for MSU. He's even said himself, that he's not really a football fan. I want to have coverage from the point of view of someone who appreciates football, basketball, and baseball.

Spot on, Rouge. As Todd pointed out, The Kang knew we'd never reach our full potential until we had the media on our side. And as long as we have "fans" like HD6 that encourage the media's witch hunt mentality against MSU, our beat writers will continue to slant everything as negatively as possible. The difference in the way tMSU and Mississippi are covered really is night and day when you look at it.

"The job of a beat writer is not to air dirty laundry."

So if the NCAA launches an investigation at Ole Miss, you don't think their beat writers should report on it?
Click to expand...

Of course I want them to report it. You know why? Because I am a MSU fan and it would hurt them.

And let's get this straight- there is a MAJOR difference between reporting out a bunch of secondary violations and reporting on a major NCAA investigation into a program. We're not going to get put on probation because a softball recruit surprised our softball coach at the airport to commit. If we commit a lot of major infractions that could cause the loss of ten athletic scholarships a year over a period of three years for the football program- I think you get the point.

I nominated Bob because he is a good writer

As much as anything. There is a major difference between getting a lead and digging and then printing rumors.

aGAIN- no one is saying blow sunshine up our asses. No one is saying don't report the news. We're saying don't take pot shots at MSU.

And maybe this hasn't occurred to you, but a good writer like Bob actually would give us more and better news because the coaches and university officials wouldn't have to think twice nearly as much about what kind of negative slant is going to be put to the news.

Didn't Veazey discover and report a secondary pertaining to Kang being at one of Mullen's practices?

Where's the Ole Miss version of that?

Media in this state is so effed up.

If by encourage, you mean don't subscribe to any papers and rarely read any of their articles, then yes, I do encourage them.
