Agreed. If fact, I had a major issue with Jay just throwing out his opinion that Rush Limbaugh is a "hater", then refusing to discuss the matter further. ____ed me off to no end.

My point was more toward the contractual difference. He, Scott and Steve are employed by a company contracted by the university, while Josh isn't.

No. I was just wondering about that...otherwise Jay is an asset to the University of Louisiana.

Thus proving who really has the agenda. But anyway, your point is well taken.

It is never a good idea for your play-by-play man to be the public liason for an athletic department.

I took my family to the game tonight. We made up 5 of the 1,500 in attendance. It was the poorest game I've seen in a while... played by a badly coached team.

We made only 2 of 18 3-pointers, but continued to jack them up. Assists? (Usually an indicater of team play and effective coaching) Our leading assists guy had "2". That is downright bad.

In the post game show, Jay threw out a softball question that was beneath a person with his experience. He didn't need to get ugly, but at least could have gotten to the point -- they looked bad, were undermotivated, and played as though they had no gameplan.

Josh... please continue to do your job by asking tough questions of a coach that is not getting the job done.

Now that I'm in Houston, I fully realize how bad sports radio is in both BR and Laf. It's one thing to be a "homer" but Jay brings it to the next level.

I don't really care who's wrong or right. But the bottom line is that a lot of people listen to Jay's show. It's his show and he can do pretty much as he wants from 3-6. Sometimes I find his show absolutely terrible. Josh works for a paper. He's paid to report. He reported. You think if Rick Petino throws a chair and walks out of a press conference that's not going to lead Sportscenter? That's what reporters do, they take what happens and paints the picture for those who aren't there. I'm glad that Josh reported it. I'm glad he reports the stupid rules the athletic dept. has around the players and coaches. I mean really, these guys have no media holding them accountable for a loss. It makes a athletic dept. and coaching staff alot more comfortable when there's nobody breathing down their necks. I'm not sure if any of this makes sense but I just got back from a basketball game where UL lost to CENTENARY! WHAT is going on here.

Wish they would bring Don Allen back! How about Ron Gomez???

Jay... please read Josh's report of last night's game... then let all of us know, and of course Josh, if you approve.

We're waiting.

PS Your questions to Coach Lee following the game were stupid.
