Bulldogs Sports Radio talking Cajuns

Like I said, If he's really sorry about it, he would immediately re-write his article and/or delete the old one. It's just that simple.

Whatever

(2/2) While I had the worst experience of my life in Lafayette, that is no excuse for me not choosing my words more carefully. #wordsmatter

I can't find the article anymore, he must've deleted it lol. But just take this comment for example. If this isn't a backhanded apology I don't know what is. The worst experience of his life? Really??

The dude must've lived a pretty priveledged life if the worst experience of his life was getting pulled over by a cop for not having his lights on and not being able to find a house he'd like to live in while driving around town for 90 minutes.

Crud guys, politicians make mistakes daily, and they will NEVER own up.....this kid did.....what more do you want from him?

[CajunAlum10]

Well you're right about that, he definitely owned up to it. I'll leave it be, I'm not all that worried about it. More worried about our guys taking care of business this weekend.

We got a series to win!

I think our pressbox situation likely had him fuming to start. As an SEC guy, he travels from plush venue to plush venue on a weekly basis. I bet he's always had an air conditioned room to himself at regionals. [There's no denying that the Tigue's pressbox (or lack thereof) is terrible.]

His mistake was letting a professional issue get personal. Kudos to him for apologizing.

The guy that was on Jay's show said that did not factor into it. He was specifically asked about that. It was a few other MSU beat writers that complained about that

I seem to recall a few years back Jay saying we couldn't host because of the press box situation

But and however, memories get jumbled and hosts we are.

Interesting. Did he explain how it became the worst time of his life?

[duggie85]

Didn't listen to his original show, and I won't. But i think his interview with Jay was sincere. Hope he doesn't lose job either.

I do think he and Jays profiling excuse was lame. I used to work nights downtown when attending UL and got pulled over numerous times with a LA license plate when heading home. Cops used to always do exactly what he described: "Pulled you over for xyz, have you been drinking??" And Id say no and was on my way home, no ticket. Simply cracking down on drinking & driving. Nothing else IMO.

Here's something I was wondering: when you're going to a town you've never been in for 4 days, don't you find somebody who's been there and can tell you where to geaux?

What are the best places to eat? What should I see while I'm there? We have ridiculously long threads of golden information here about that.

Didn't this dude ask somebody where to geaux and what to do? He would've enjoyed his Monday a lot more at Prejeans, checking out the Louisiana campus and Cypress Lake, hell any number of things besides driving the wrong way away from Lafayette into the horse farms of Sunset and the neighborhoods of Lafayette high.

If people would learn to ask more questions, they'd save themselves a lot of grief.

I agree with this.. While I thought Jays interview was very well done, he let him off on the cop pulling him over too easily.. Scenario

Cop sees car with no lights
Car leaving a place where drinking was known to have been taking place
Cop asks if he had been drinking and he adequately explained who he was...where he was coming from..and that he was not drinking
Cop accepts the explanation...hands him his license and says be careful

Seems to me things were handled properly and I don't see any profiling... As a btw.. I rent cars from time to time and often find it difficult to figure how to turn lights on if they don't come on automatically .
