Fans appreciate it more than the usual: "Gee, we're great but we wouldn't be 2-9 if not for bad luck," that you get from the SID. He's not going to go out of his way looking for the negative, but he isn't going to dodge it, either.

Re-read Ever's question, the level of reporting he wonders about are the things Harry won't be researching and reporting on. Harry said most of what he will be doing for ODUsports is human interest pieces like his article on Ronnie Valentine.

With that being known, why would he torpedo his own job by filing an FOIA on a coaching hire or firing, a capital project or conference realignment? That isn't his job any more.

He's not being paid to be a "total homer." That's what I was referencing. No, he's not going to file FOIAs against his employer. And Ever's right; Harry will do a great job at what he was hired to do. Since anyone can file a FOIA, maybe Ever should take it on.

If someone wants to pay me for my time and expenses, I'd be happy to submit FOIAs. I don't have either the time or the background to do investigations, however, and even if I did the Pilot couldn't afford to take me from my day job.
