It appears he is waiting for the announcement to be officially made, before commenting on it.

Oh that's right...Wolken doesn't talk about rumors and speculations.

But not for the email issue, 99% of this board would be pretty upset that The Wolken is leaving.

Amazing how one thing, in his four or so years of being the beatwriter, will stick with the fifty people who claim to be the Cult of 32.

Shows that you might not want to bite the hand that feeds you. Parrish said on his show that day why would you anger the people who love you in that gig?

I agree, especially with the second sentence.

Actually, you said Wolken was going to be shut out from getting 'scoops' from the basketball-type folks.

For all we know, Wolken is leaving the CA to get another job.

Jenkz, what was it that you told everyone? I havent read all the previous board stuff on this.

I just heard jason call into the radio and read a tripleA email on the air.

discuss

Wolken just said on twitter that he'll explain everything on Sunday.

I have zero information but could being shut out prod Wolken to move on to somewhere else not so hostile?

Hence the "kinda". And damn, how long did you take to type that after you quoted it. I deleted that post like 20 seconds after I posted it so I could move it over to my thread in the smack forum lmao.

Did he let the guys who sent it to him call in to the show, lol?

Hard to figure, but the email thing was only about, what two weeks ago, and Wolken was out of town last week (non-Tiger related) last week.

Probably couldn't score an interview, let alone find an opening, in three or four days.

Sunday? Five days from now? That's a lifetime away in the 24 hour news cycle!

HAH! The Cult of 69!

It's like giving a drunk a drink.

Who is Wolken?

Do you think Dan might show up at the presser/announcement with a Vanderbilt cap on?

Sunday is a long ways off. Anything could happen between now and then like Big East inviting Memphis.

As Wolken goes....I will go. S-I-K-E

I wish Jason nothing but the best in his new assignment. Same goes for Dan.

His radio show turned out to be his biggest problem...and not because of the email issue. You just don't have the Head Coach on and talk to him like he's your best buddy about the schedule and then rip his head off after he hangs up. Whether he agrees with the schedule or not, you just don't do that to the head honcho. He wound up getting frozen out, so he became worthless to the CA as the beat writer.

The last couple of weeks have probably taught a lot of people some pretty valuable life lessons on trust, integrity, etc.

I'm expecting maybe a Tommy West-type exit interview...

The story is Wolken is going to Lexington to work for a newspaper as a basketball beat writer.

(In case you don't get it this is a joke)
