One more thing. Like I said, none of this matters because it is football. But when it isn't football, it probably does matter. For example, if you get sick, please go to a damn doctor. Ignore the guy ranting on social media who pushes medical conspiracy theories. He doesn't have the information or the expertise. (I'd be willing to bet Jay Walker would call out that guy too.)
Reading through this entire thread, I come back to the same conclusion.
Why does it matter what fans think and who cares if fans are right or wrong?
The fact of the matter in all of this is that fans care enough to agree or disagree. They care enough to even talk about what's going on with the football team. Want to see fans not care? Go look at the Men's Basketball thread where they were voted Preseason favorites in the Sun Belt. Most posts in consist of asking "how" and laughing rather than being excited about the upcoming season. They're so checked out that there's no motivation to even start a conversation. Would you rather that?
I enjoy the dialogue whether I disagree with it or not because at least we have people who care enough to talk about it. I'd rather that than no dialogue at all.
What the ____ are you talking about... WE are talking about football. Either contribute to that discussion are shut the ____ up. Good hell man.Quote:

Trying to paint Jay as a hero in this situation as if this was the same as calling someone out for spreading harmful misinformation is a complete fallacy and disingenuous. Scott was discussing the LSU football game and his surprise at the level Daniels played at against Florida. Jay decided it was his time to get a dig in at UL fans because the man is incapable of stepping in front of a microphone and not doing so. A caller dared to call in and point out that Jay was essentially constructing a straw man by altering Cajun fans true gripe with the ULM game and was immediately cut off, talked down to, and told “im not gonna argue with you.”Quote:

Today was my first time listening in a while and it’ll most likely be my last time listening for a while. To each their own though.
the fire Des village has been silent this week. weirdQuote:

We can't get 20k people in Cajun Field and this is how we treat and talk to fans.. Truly incredible.
The good Jay brings to the table outweighs the less than good.
In geo terms, his Louisiana fandom outweighs his Connecticut normalcy. :)
Complete and total shameful plug. I'm truly ashamed of myself.

I admit I have never listened to Prather's show and had given up on the local sports radio scene due to lack of Cajun coverage; it's been all RaginReview podcast for me this season, however today the BWK drama got me to listen to the radio replay online at work.Quote:

Jay probably should not have done what he did and I suspect that he will get a slap on the wrist at his current gig.Quote:

MelRock has a weekly podcast with a Play by Play guy from another school.Quote:

What occurred today is probably the reason they don't & while I am being highly critical of Jay about this particular subject which has been eating at my craw for years. I do respect & applaud the guy for at least going out & cheering on the program his way. But the fans are not the enemy of the program. Unfortunately the attitude that Jay has toward the fan base is prevalent throughout much of the university structure. Ever since the first time set foot in the alumni hall at the school, I could feel the disdain & lack of trust by the blue bloods toward me back when nobody knew me from Adam & the circle of influencers at the school was maybe 25 people? That same mistrust is still as prevalent today as it was when Ray was running things 30 years ago.Quote:

You are the cancer which has brought things to where they went today, so don’t think anything you have done is a good thing . . .
