Question,,, how hard is it to hire a Memphis grad that has roots in the community and also understands the fact that actually Memphis fans in Memphis have such a hard time getting good information about Memphis in the Memphis market.

“Forgive me Memphis fans for still tweeting about Louisville”

Hell no.

I wonder if she knows about the history of Louisville/Memphis rivalry in basketball?

I'm curious, I don't subscribe to the Daily Memphian has she written anything on the Tigers yet. I realize it is a slow period but there are still stories and news.

Nope... All the Tigers articles written in July were by Steven Johnson, Jonah Jordan, Drew Hill, Geoff Calkins, and John Varlas.

Maybe if the Daily Memphian had a Louisville section...

Ok, kidding. Her tweet said she starts in August.

Oh okay Thanks

Thanks for bringing that to our attention Danny Girl. Perhaps an update on Campus Strippers and prostitutes or the new fried chicken pizza at Pappa John's will follow.

Good hire Geoff.

Was that not her duty to report?

A Louisville fan is our beat writer. A louisville fan is our Tiger beat writer...a person who admires and loves Louisville is is going to be privy to our insider info and program ‘secrets’

Forgive me, but that’s never gonna sink in.

She's a UL fan?

Seems unlikely. She went to Mizzou.

She will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Maybe both? lol. She’s been covering them for years.

Why not a Memphis grad?

O yeah... I forgot #forgiveme

We have had SEVERAL beat writers who aren't from here and didn't go to school here.

We all liked that kid from DC who covered football a few years ago.

Seriously, you might be youngish, so you may not get the LOUISVILLE problem. But it's a problem.

I'm 42 years old, and I'm barely old enough to remember when people actively hating Louisville was a huge thing. My grandparents certainly did, and my parents not so much. I think our board age must skew older than that...

My whole life I can remember hating UT, but not Louisville.

I agree, f*ck ULouisville.

But she used to live there. It was her job. Now this is her job. I'm not going to dismiss her outright just because of that.

Forgive me , Memphis.

Take what she did and apply that to the Grizz.

Lakers sports writer gets job covering the Grizz. Forgive me, Memphis fans for still tweeting about LA (habit)...

lol

She doesn't start with the DM until August.

If she does something like that then, that's another story.
