100% agree, from yet another former Verm sports writer.
Honestly, my time as a writer was some of the best life lessons I got from college.
The Dean of Students called me at 10pm one time to yell at me for what I wrote. The SGA senate held a vote to kick me out of the senate for something I wrote.
I learned real fast to stick to my gut and always sniff out people’s motives. And that has served me very well since.
Use “Louisiana” more than “Cajuns” and see heads explode.
Keep going, young man.
Day 1 update: I have raised $130 of my $2,000 goal. As always, a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Thanks to all who have left positive messages, donated, and/or supported me in a multitude of ways.
Kevin Foote left the DAily Advertiser for the Acadiana Advocate several years ago. He does a great job being the Cajuns beat writer for that publication, although the deadlines makes game day stories a little late. Cory Diaz is the Daily Advertiser writer for Cajuns football. He also covers Cajuns baseball after LSU WBB ends. Advertiser does not cover Cajuns basketball. Good luck in your effort. More coverage we receive the better and our students do not to know what is going on what out athletic efforts.
Bump.
