Willis: Defense still progressing

[Zeebart21]

Nick Fontenot was the editor at the Verm a year or so ago. He interned at the Daily Advertiser, but I think he works at one of the smaller Gannett newspapers in Acadiana now.

Am I gonna have to refresh everyones memory as to who Nick Fontenot is??????

Dont make me do it.... PLEASE DONT!

I guess everyone on here is giving Nick Fontenot a free ride here now. Cool deal

No. I just choose not to hold grudges against someone who wishes to root for both UL and LSU. I don't agree with him doing that but it won't stop me from reading his articles

it's not about rooting for both teams, it's about being enrolled and taking part in the school news paper to a degree that you have your own editorial. then using said editorial for your UL bashing lsu loving rants. i have a ton of friends who swing both ways...it's not WHAT he did/said...it's HOW he went about doing it.

when you are in a position such as his you have certain obligations, certain privileges and certain expectations. all of which need to be addressed properly. he failed.

Lol that's not even the reason why half this board doesn't like the kid. First off, as the EDITOR of the Verm, he wrote his own opinion piece, essentially saying if you don't like who I cheer for, then go ____ yourself. You know how embarrassing that is to have the schools newspaper editor say he would've rather went to LSU and that he cheers for them more? If that's not unprofessional journalism, idk what is.

Then this plug had the nerve to come on here and treat us like four year olds, acting like he knows better than anyone here, calling us delusional, we're not true Cajun fans.

Just because this scrub wrote ONE good article doesn't clear his name in my book for a long time. Until he writes a Pulitzer Prize winning novel about the majestic history of UL, he can kick rocks and suck a dick for all I care

Fair enough. It was probably out of line. Personally, that doesn't stop me from reading an article of his if whatever he's writing about looks like it may interest me. For what it's worth, I dont even know the guy so I'm not one of his buddies defending him.

i'll read his articles, but now i can't help but wonder about his motives. it just is unfortunate for him as a young aspiring journalist to have created such animosity (warranted or not). Burning bridges before you cross them.
