Just a thought: It's hard to complain about negative coverage when we refuse to even click on the positive stuff. 

I'm not giving the douche a pass just because he wrote one seemingly positive article.

I honestly dont see how the guy puts anything in the public eye after he made himself look like an absolute moron on Finebaum a few weeks back.

And here it is

Oh, for sure. And his piece on it was way over the top. He might have actually done us a favor. The rest of the local media might be like, uh, I don't want to get lumped in with that douchebag.

Dude doesn't even try to hide his bias.... although he did remove the pic of Bryant Denney from his Twitter feed after a gozillion folks called him out. 

Apparently the editors at Alabama Media Group think the whole site is a giant op-ed column- I want reporting, not opinion.

His stance aside, You know as well as I do that Goodman has had it out for AU for a while. The guy cries about getting a free hat for goodness' sake.

Probably not in the same way, but that is about the power dynamic in the state and not about whether or not Harsin handled this in a manner deserving of negative media coverage. (He did.)

 

 

............ Depending on your view of the subject.

I like the Harsin hire also.

But the media didn't have to "look" for something negative on him, he handed it to them.

I think that depends on your view of the subject. If Saban took the same stance do you think Goodman would have teed off on him?

so the guy that has been around Auburn Football since Christ was a mess cook has no idea what is going on? Is it because his access has been restricted, or does he not know enough about he game to form an actual opinion?   I'm gonna assume it is some of both.

After watching that, if Caddy wanted me to  bake cakes, I'd be the baddest MF cake baker out there.

A bit of an odd moment. Doesn't Harsin understand that the students are there to attend class and may not necessarily be fans of a certain chicken sandwich chain?

Yeah... he should pass out hats or something.

So he went from doom and gloom 15 days ago to sunshine and boobies today?

Cant have page views without content, I guess.  Sometimes  you have to make your own news.

I agree if it gets to just name calling or something then yes probably need to shut things down, but if it's a discussion it should by all means continue. That's when the learning happens, in the discussion. The most brilliant minds and all of the upper tier professions where you would think are filled with super smart people incorporate learning using that particular process. 

So yes name calling end it, but just because it's long or because the sides doesn't agree? That's stupid imo 

I don't have a side either, I don't even know what the disagreement is but I do know I can't stand when a discussion is being had then a person who haven't even read the discussion comes in and complains to shut it down.  I can't stand it for a couple of reasons

One guarantee that person has had a point where they have went back and forth with someone, so that means they are essentially saying I'll have my exchange but you aren't important enough to have yours

Second if that person don't want to read it, they don't have to! If they then make an argument of complaining they had to click and extra button or had to read some extra sentences, I feel they should be called names after that.

And if everybody has to agree what does that consists of? Just wherever posts first sets the tone and you have to agree? I just don't see why a person would come to a forum and have a problem with seeing different opinions on it. 

Just my opinion, but of you cant handle someone calling you names on the internet, then it is probably best to not try to enter into arguments there.  If someone is being a meanie-face, then they should by all means be told so.

So those of you that have problems with a back and forth.....what do you think the purpose of forums are? Where are these other forums where everybody agrees with one another?

I bet they are really fun to be a part of.

I want to read the ****show of a thread about vaccine fights on the football forum so I can form an opinion based on the opinions of others- most of which I dont know.

Is there an overall thread about the vaccine discussion or just about Harsin's comments. I genuinely missed it.

I also care deeply about everyone's  opinion on the subject as well because I'm incapable of forming my own.

Because I wanted to make it.

Congrats on your accomplishment then, I guess.

I don't like some in the media that is giving their opinion on it. Just state the facts of the interview. 

 

How they gonna get them page views without controversy?

Do people here still believe anything that PM writes? I'm being serious here.

 

No.  I figure he has lost much of his "insider" street cred at this point. He was in the stands holding court during the open practice back in March. What sort of super scoop inside reporter would be in the stands as opposed to the field? 

The other ting to think about is that these guys sometimes create content when there isn't much to talk about. I feel like there is more smoke than fire here at the moment. I'll save forming my opinion on the matter until mid-September and see where we stand then.

Kid looks pretty dang good. He is going to announce on 7/25.

Correct, it was relatively young upstart that some predicted would overtake Nike.  They never did and the deal was very shortsighted.  That had to be at least 15 years ago...why have we not moved on?

Thought the deal was renegotiated in 2015 to run through 2025

Cam was special. Just something about Nick that had me in awe. You would hold your breath ever time he had the ball in his hands. 2013 was my favorite season, beside 2010, that I had since I'd say 1993. Loved 2004 but that 2013 year was amazing. 

1993 UF game was one of the most amazing football games I've ever seen in person. Something about that whole day. The fog rolling in, the game, the atmosphere. Unreal. 

Agree about Nick.... Kid was slicker than a fresh bass and had an uncanny ability to pull a big play out of his ass in seemingly impossible conditions.  When you have a player that can turn a busted play into a big play like that, it can cover up some coaching weaknesses.

I'll bite...... Why the return and subsequent AMA?
