Quote: Guess its time to share news. Starting in January, I’ll be working at the Memphis Commerical-Appeal covering Memphis football as well as other sports stories.

It’s an honor and I’m grateful but also thankful for my time with the Daily News. On to the next phase.
I wonder if they told him he has at least two days after the day of the game to have a game day article up.
I would say that he has some pretty big shoes to fill, but who the hell even cares anymore?

I still take the print edition. The last couple of weeks, they have actually had Tigers/Grizz post game stories from 7 pm games in the print editions the next morning. Hope this continues. Now if they could just get rid of the Titans Tickets massive pop up every time I go to CA.com I'd sure appreciate it.
So, he's going to talk about all that football news we always have in January? Talk about the upcoming September game???

Recruiting. Spring practice.
I doubt he will have trouble finding a desk.
People will be too busy bitching about Tubby to even know he's here.

Nothing more exciting than waiting on Saturday mornings paper to read about Thursday nights scores.
Good gracious

Can we give the guy a chance before our stupid fans crucify him?

He’s obviously a hard working reporter who got a chance at a promotion.

To most on this board who like to crap on Tiger sports, I challenge you to actually donate money to our University.

Unless you INVEST shut the hell up
I have de-politic'ed this thread. Do not pollute it again please.

And there is no need to report *EVERY SINGLE* political post in such a huge thread, or wag your finger like a churlish tattle tale at everyone in the thread. That's also not very helpful.
I hope he is a prolific writer. Might convince me to take the paper again.
