They lock up people selling shoes and **** and ban those accounts. This guy is just trying to make a dime off MSU, he's using us to try and do it, he is possibly committing recruiting violations all while being a prick about it, and his writing is really, really bad. I'm all for us helping a guy who is trying to creating something for MSU but at this point it seems to extended far enough. His most ardent fans are Ole Miss people loving that "one of our own" (and I use that <font size="3"><span style="font-weight: bold;">VERY</span></font> loosely) is bashing Mullen.

I guess I'm not seeing why this guy is any better than the Koreans selling discount (fake) Air Jordans (his writing is pretty close to the same).

I can't read his stuff anymore. It's too painful and my journalism background would probably give me an aneurysm if I continued. I don't begrudge the guy trying to make a name for himself though as long as he doesn't hurt the program.

Spreading internal division, if it exists, is not cool in my opinion.

players, recruits and the like.
If that is his job, and he works for,or owns a news type business, that is one thing, but if not,... I just don't get it.

Otherwise he is just posting his opinions in a different format than most.

apart from simply linking his articles... or reply to something else besides someone saying "You are getting better but your pronoun usage...." and he says something like "Yea, I am going to talk to my editor about fixing that." Other than that, it kinda gets under my skin that all he does is link these articles without contributing anything else to the board. It's like he's so desperate for readers or something.

I do enjoy the replies about the best grills, marinades, and biscuits that follow.

They monitor the State boards and I am about 99% confident they have seen his "work" and evaluated whether it was kosher. That is why I am not concerned about whether he is violating any rules. <div>
</div><div>If they haven't noticed him or followed up on, they aren't really doing their job (the compliance/media relations departments, that is). </div>

he said he knew the rules but had not contacted the AD nor had he been contacted. I'm fine with them looking at his stuff to make sure there are no violations but I'd rather them at least contact him to potentially stop a mistake by him before it happens rather than after.

...but I don't see you people raising hell about Swindoll.


And don't give me that crap about "Gene has the proper clearances."


Gene acts as a recruiting advocate for MSU. I don't know what kind of clearance provides him that much leeway, but apparently it exists.

If Short has even half the clearances of Swindoll, then Short is okay.

Lastly stop picking on Short's writing style. Granted, it pretty hackneyed. Which puts it on par with every other fake MSU reporter.

Gene doesn't come over here, jorts in tow, to link every goddamned article he writes. Perhaps if Little Jerry actually contributed to the board in some way other than filling it with spam we might be a bit more welcoming.

Thanks for your note and kind words. We have a great group of folks at the University working to make MSU better every day, and it's a lot of fun working with them.</p>

I'm not familiar with Jeremiah Short, but we'll look into those links to ensure there are no issues.</p>

Hail State!</p>

Scott

He replied to my e-mail within an hour today. I love that guy.</p>

When Kyle Veazey was sneakily throwing bards at MSU, DS and several others heartily defended him. Saying that he wasn't supposed to be a fan of MSU and all of that crap.

Now when JS says something that you all think harms the university or our program, y'all want him banned. Why can't JS present his version of the "truth" just as Kyle Veazey did? After all, he's trying to be a ... writer ... too.

I am loathe to defend Jeremiah Short. I detest his ****** writing, his ****** opinions and his ****** attitude. I refuse to read any of those articles that he posts on these boards.

However, I think you all are some tremendous hypocrites in trying to get him removed when you supported others who have also done things which some consider harmful to our university.

...all I know is if gene swindoll can receive clearance to legally act as a recruiting advocate for MSU, then Short can do the same.

Having said that, I could care less if Short participates in the comment sections. That's up to him, not me.

I'm sure Short can as well. However, when someone legitimately asks him if he has done so and he responds the way he has I don't think its unreasonable to assume that he hasn't done so. So far, the best answer he has provided is that he has interviewed Bracky Brett.

compliance folks to work any issues Short may have in that area. However, I certainly don't want him bashing and criticizing our HC on one hand and then having communications with our recruits on the other. Like Gene or not, I've NEVER seen him write a disparaging article about ANY coach at MSU that I'm aware of. Gene IS for the betterment of MSU athletics and I can't imagine him ever doing such a thing.

he was employed by the state's largest newspaper to cover MSU athletics. As far as I know JS is just a rogue writer out there doing whatever and writing whatever he wants under the guise of being an "MSU fan".

But damn... the ONLY thing he posts are links to his articles... or responds to someone being "nice and critical." I haven't read a single article and don't plan to. I wouldn't have a problem if he contributed by posting to other discussions that aren't his articles or related to his articles. No one has a problem with Azzuri doing his 8-Bit Recruiting tracker, engie's Weekly RPI-Watch, or even MadDawg's Arse of the day or Corch34's Sunday Morning QB/Point Guard/Pitcher/Goalie/whatever else the 17 he posts... simply because they contribute elsewhere besides that one feature they do...

Short, not so much... and that gets under my skin. He wants readers and he'd get them here if he would try to work into the culture of the board and contribute elsewhere... instead of using this as a ready-made platform that others worked to build to try to get readers for an amateur blog.

I bet that his "specifics" are negative comments he's heard over time about Mullen from Croom's former players. Most likely those that underperformed and weren't mentally tough enough to flourish under Mullen/Balis daily pressure. I bet they really felt "punched in the gut" by all that. Alot like Polk's players still badmouth our current baseball staff, when THEY were the ones that gave us our first losing seasons in 50 years. They become bigger idiots with every passing minute now that both programs are turned around.

If he feels this way about Mullen and his style, I'd HATE to hear his opinion on Cohen. Coaches aren't paid to be your friend, they are paid to win.

This is the main problem I have. This guy spams multiple boards. If you follow his rants there is a theme. Cam Lawerence is terrible play Bohana, Chris Relf isnt struggling and Tyler sucks, Croom was great recruiter and Dans style sucks. Can you catch where Im going with this. He has a biased agenda. The other thing that bothers me is the constant harrassing others for exposure. Look at his twitter feed. He spams everyone is the athletic dept,former/current players,coaches,recruits,and msu fans for a retweet of a link to his article. I hate him

read the entire thread, this was covered. The guy posts every article here, compared to Veazey posting exactly zero. And all my joking about paper being a dead medium aside there is a big difference between a real reporter and some dude who just happens to have an internet connection and a phone. Jortfro is a idiot, but he knows the rules and works with the MSU compliance staff. JShort just turned into a dick when people started questioning if he might be breaking the rules. The right answer was to say, "I think I am in the clear but I agree I should call the compliance office just to be sure."

I'm not quick on the ban trigger or anything but when someone is just over here selling their stuff without being a part of the board in any other way it seems odd to me.

I thoughtI was the only one that thought he was racist.He seems to hate all thing "white" or inTyler's case"light". He and I hada disagreement on Gene's page(yes I pay for the recruiting info) about how much he hated Tyler Russell and totallydiscredited the few things he done well his Redshirt Freshman year(see Memphis game). Ihad no idea he had started bashing our head coach.

one of his friends who graduated from Columbus High School isn't getting to play. Just like the basketball play from Noxubee County who he says should be getting significant playing time. He's an idiot and from what I heard most of the people who work for that paper are not paid a whole lot at this time. He's just using them to try and pimp himself as an expert on college sports.

I've done freelance sportswriting in the past contributing to different newspapers in the state so if everything is kosherwith MSU compliance, then I don't have a problem with him as far as writing is concerned.

With that being said, I've not seen him contribute to the culture here & it does seem like that all he does is post links to articles. He does it so much that I don't even bother to click links. I've goneahead and Ignored his posts & comments here.</p>
