Life is good. We are enjoying baseball season. It's NBA draft time. Jimbo and Saban are being bitches and dominating the media.

Then like clockwork, a pathetic Al.com article is written by our own Auburn beat writer.

The article? It's titled

quote:

Report: Auburn trustee Jimmy Rane denies booster meddling in football decisions, Bryan Harsin probe




I'm not linking it. But it is laughably bad that this is dropped today.

Al.com will always be TRASH.

You’re right.

And tbh I think it’s a way to deflect the drama and screw up Saban put out there.

If Saban and Alabama is going to look bad in the media got to make sure Auburn is reported negatively too.

They are trying some damage control but coaches and former college players, not bama, are coming out of the woodwork to shite on Saban.

It's the timing of the article and the fact we are going to dredge up prior issues instead of moving on

Unlike 247 or On3, AL dot com best writers have no vested interest in anything other than views. They don’t have a subscriber base to worry about so they have no true loyalty to write anything other than what gets the most clicks and thus the most revenue.

They’d actually be doing themselves a disservice by putting an AU grad or anyone that has any sort of favor toward AU to cover AU.

The writers typically don’t decide the titles, either. An editor does

Anyway, the article just covers Jimmy Rane’s comments at a charity event that he made last night in Montgomery. It’s not investigative journalism or anything. Rane’s comments were super vanilla as well

(Not defending the writer - Tom Green. Still think he’s a douche for bitching about Harsin throwing him a hat)

This requires a very simple solution - simply not clicking on their website or following on social media any of their writers. Problem solved. I will bill you later

Why does our fanbase cry like babies every time an article is released?

This article is nothing. Like you said, life's good. Go enjoy it.

Most of our fanbase has been done with media since the Cam saga. So I don’t blame anyone for being skeptical Especially those of us that were on message boards like this one during those times

In this case, though, it’s a pretty boring Friday article about Rane’s comments from last night. In OP’s defense, the title insinuates an actual report.

Ha. I forgot about the Hat whiner.

After I reread his article you’re right he made an article basici ally out of 2 Rane comments the Green had to find old stuff to meet his character total for the article.

Harsin tweeted something about golfing with Yellafella recently. Maybe there is a new relationship there and Green was around to report on the story
I didn’t read the Al.com article but the Montgomery Advertiser article wasn’t much negative about it.

Because Alabama newspapers are trying to sell newspapers and get clicks in a State that 70% of the citizens are actively rooting to Auburn to lose every game.

Two articles sell well or generate clicks:

Bama, The Best Ever Continues to Get Better.

And

Trouble Brewing On The Plains.
