Thread: Looking for Help ...

  1. Default Re: Looking for Help

    My stance is beat writers, should be cheerleaders.

    But, and however, their biggest duty is relaying truth, but brutal honesty will make a paper lose readers.

    Like I said, I don't think I could do it.

    The Vermilion will miss you.

    Second to last paragraph of Louisiana v Florida State -

    "Simply put, the Cajuns were outclassed against the ranked Florida State, from the opening kickoff until the clock hit triple zeros. The defense allowed over 250 rushing yards, and the offense was putrid. The Seminoles completely dominated the Cajuns, and I tip my hat to them. If you’re a sports better, you should have picked the ‘Noles to win by more than 24 points."

    RaginPagin is a forum of Alumni, Fans and a stopping ground of officials of the University of Louisiana, and rightfully so. Wise of you to visit us but we are not a collection of un-wise. Your words of a Program which originated over 120 years ago do not reflect the honor we hold of our treasure in Acadiana.

    I hope my words strengthen and harden your focus on the mastering of your craft.

    Swamp.
    Wow.

    This dude is probably what, a 19 year old student?

    Tim Buckley was a veteran who got PAID to cover the Cajuns athletic program, and this kid already has him beat.

    You just found out how some of our posters think they the shizzz. While I may not agree with some of your writings, I applaude your efforts to step up and ask for the help..

    This young man is a COLLEGE STUDENT....He may not be a Kevin Foote or a Glenn Guilbeau at this time, but he's willing to put himself up front, ask for some help so he can become a BETTER WRITER!

    The lack of knowledge consumes this board whenever media situations arise..if you think you know you don't, so keep that pie hole of yours shut!

    Surely don’t let the dopes on this board discourage you any . . .

    I don’t let them get to me. I’ve dealt with hardship and the like from my time in high school baseball, so it’s either a win or a learning opportunity.

    I did the sports beat at the Verm many years ago. Was a great place to learn, a great place to make mistakes and you can learn real quick whether it’s a path you want to choose.

    Good luck..lot of life skills being developed either way!

    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.

    Which part of that paragraph is incorrect? I mean, other than the spelling on “bettor”. All else seems right to me.

    Use “Louisiana” more than “Cajuns” and see heads explode.
