Bill Curry chimes in to pine about the good old days, when coaches told reporters what they could or couldn't write and everybody took trains to South Bend for road games ... 
ESPN - Curry: Gundy's tirade falls into gray area - College Football
Meanwhile, Houston's ABC13 interviews Bobby Reid's mom, and does some investigative work of their own, discovering that Jenni Carlson was not issued media credentials for the Troy game, and probably wasn't even there.
abc13.com: OSU player's mom speaks out about article on her son
I do have question for Mrs. Reid though, because I'm confused by this quote
Quote:
|
"She mentioned how a college kid would rather run through the campus naked than to be coddled by their mother and I'm like no, no that's horrible," Reid said. "It's very malicious to do that and you don't know anything about my son."
|
Huh? If I'm not mistaken, she's saying, "No. No. You don't know anything about my son. He LOVES to run through campus naked and actually hates his mother!"
Anywho ... sounds like the Reids are going to sue the DailyOK.

Yeah, I'm directly addressing someone not here. Ah well. |

Journalists have come to the support of Carlson, because journalists stick together. They're much like Buckeye fans in that regard. (Although since most internet polls suggest that about 90% of the public supports Gundy in this conflict, the journalists seem to be even more clueless in their support than we tend to be.)

Who does Jenni Carlson think she is, Mitch Albom?

I think people are a little too quick to assume that columnists are supposed to be objective.

Good luck with that. Really, because they will need lots of luck to win such a case.
Best case scenario - lifetime subscription to the DailyOK - a $50,000 value!!
