Obviously a canned piece waiting for slow news day which today was since Texans were off. Also shows she didn't go to the exhibition game....disappointing.

Makes me wonder what task list goes with the job of "beat writer" now-a-days. I'd think she'd be on campus daily, visiting practices and haunting the AD's office, let alone attending as many events as possible.

I would be ok with her whistling "Boomer Sooner" while she does.

I think she attends a lot of football practices because she periodically tweets pictures during practice.

I had to be positive about something after being so depressed about football.

RE: Chron Article about MBB
Stephanie was roughed up pretty badly by some moronic OU fans when she covered the OU beat for the Daily Oklahoman. Some really jerkwater stuff posted on message boards, totally undeserved and uncalled for. She's doing fine....let's not pile on. Bear in mind that the decision to cover x or y sporting event is her editor's, not her own.

Somebody the other day was even griping about a headline that appeared over one of her stories, which was plain dumb. Beat reporters NEVER write headlines, that work is all done by the copy desk.

... Yes, there are some stupid comments, but many of the complaints about her reporting seem valid.

I wish you would remove that link for reasons which should appear self-evident.

I wish also that that Parliament posters would avoid publicly ragging on our Chronicle beat writer. Stephanie is head and shoulders above her predecessor on the Rice beat. Believe me, we are fortunate to have a beat writer at all, especially one who gives a damn about our program, which Steph does. Given our lack of fan base engagement...no replies, messages, tweets, whatever...plus the Second Coming coverage of the Cougs and insipid pro teams in this town....we're likely on thin ice as it is....

I wish youall wouldn't screw it up for the rest of us....

I wish I were in Zihuatanejo.....

I wish.......

I wish I was a little bit taller...

I wish I was a baller...

I wish to go to the festival...

I have appreciated Stephanie's coverage so far. She is much, much better than any chron beat reporter since MK. I do not think she is at MK's level, but she is good enough that I can hope she gets there if Chron gives her the chance.

And I agree that Rice is lucky to have a dedicated beat reporter right now. Hopefully Rice basketball can help make up for the disappointing football season. I like and RT all of Stephanie's Rice-related tweets. I at least open all her articles and blog posts about Rice on 2 or 3 different devices to build up her unique hits. I also try to comment occasionally and click on some ads (gasp!).

I agree, many of those comments were way over the line and people were just trolling at one point. I try to give all of her articles at least 2 hits from two different computers when I can.

Agree - these should be obvious.

Link has been removed.. I agree we are lucky to have a beat writer, but some of the articles referenced in the LandThieves thread weren't very good. As many posters said over there, it is quite a task for a young reporter straight out of college to cover a program like OU. With fan base the size of OU, there will be more idiot posters. That comes with the territory.

Same old same old. We get excited about something whether it's s game against Texas or a beat writer for the chronicle only to be eventually let down. So much for the we love the new beat writer thread from a few weeks ago.
