He's ten times the writer Dick Harmon is...you just don't like the content

runnutz

3/3/15 12:52pm

Harmon seems to have been phoning it in for a decade now

concolor couguar

3/3/15 12:53pm

longer than that

runnutz

3/3/15 12:55pm

That is true. Dick used to be great, but he doesn't seem to care anymore.

It's a lazy piece...

KGKUGR

3/3/15 1:08pm

Again, this is a column. It's not a "lazy piece of journalism." It's his opinion

3/3/15 1:12pm

I understand ...

KGKUGR

3/3/15 1:16pm

Honestly, I'm not sure why this was written. It's uncharacteristic of Jay

3/3/15 1:17pm

And for the record, everything he wrote, I've seen CBers say.

3/3/15 1:22pm

CBers...

3/3/15 1:35pm

That's the problem with addressing the Internet in general

3/3/15 1:37pm

RE: That's the problem with addressing the Internet in general

KGKUGR

3/3/15 1:40pm

Also, usually the best opinion pieces...

KGKUGR

3/3/15 1:30pm

I do agree that a lot of the best opinion pieces include sources

3/3/15 1:32pm

RE: I do agree that a lot of the best opinion pieces include sources

KGKUGR

3/3/15 1:37pm

I see what you mean. But the vast majority of columns don't involve sources

3/3/15 1:40pm

Defend your friend, but I don't read his stuff. It's bad writing and biased

Coogar2

3/3/15 5:43pm

You can have your opinion. I can disagree.

3/4/15 6:41am

SL Trib has gone the take a survey route so I never read past a few lines.

SCcoug

3/3/15 12:55pm

Not an article. A column. (Not usually what a beat writer does, but still)

3/3/15 12:56pm

Here's the thing about Jay Drew - he's an idiot.

3/3/15 1:02pm

This is not true. I know Jay. He's a good guy

3/3/15 1:08pm

I'm glad you know him and have a personal...

KGKUGR

3/3/15 1:13pm

Most of what he writes I think is pretty neutral. Trib Headlines often aren't

3/3/15 1:15pm

Good to know....

KGKUGR

3/3/15 1:54pm

I once made a really big mistake in writing a column that I didn't vet

3/3/15 2:01pm

Ok, I believe you. I retract my statement...he's not an idiot. But the paper he

3/3/15 1:24pm

I'm not a particular fan of the Trib. But Jay is the best BYU reporter

3/3/15 1:27pm

you're biased.

SaintGeorgeYFan

3/3/15 3:36pm

We all have our biases. Yours is that you're a BYU fan (as am I)

3/3/15 3:37pm

i have my opinion after reading much of Jay's crap.

SaintGeorgeYFan

3/3/15 10:10pm

You're perfectly entitled to your opinion. Just like I'm entitled to disagree

3/4/15 6:36am

This line...

The coaches (both BYU opponents and BYU) and players have commented on the refs.

BYUheaven

3/3/15 1:17pm

I agree. Thumbs down me all you want anti-WCC people but the conference ain't

BYUheaven

3/3/15 1:14pm

Again it is the content you guys have a problem with, not the journalist

runnutz

3/3/15 1:25pm

I just said I do not have a problem with the content. I agree with the content

BYUheaven

3/3/15 1:29pm

I wasn't really talking about you, just that's where the post went

runnutz

3/3/15 1:31pm

Not every reporter is going to be Greg Wrubell or Harmon

3/3/15 1:30pm

Two words that are overused in local articles: Myriad and vitriol.

Ham

3/3/15 1:30pm

Those are overused in journalism in general

3/3/15 1:31pm

From Jay's tweets it is clear

cougarnw

3/3/15 2:18pm

Interesting that I don't see a bunch of WCC bashing going on here.

3/3/15 2:37pm

Agree 100% with Jay Drew on this article. WCC is great for BYU!

roseyscenario

3/3/15 2:41pm

Yes, but Drew said nothing else of value. He used the article to slam BYU fans

HighHorse

3/3/15 4:48pm

Good point. He could have made the case for WCC without doing that. He is a

3/3/15 4:54pm

WCC was a two way street. They did us a favor and we were very good for them.

HighHorse

3/3/15 8:01pm

I like Jay's articles, but this one shows some ignorance re Sunday play...

bluefish

3/3/15 3:04pm

I work for a Jesuit university. Its basketball team plays on Sunday a lot.

3/3/15 3:06pm

Also, the WCC's 2010 and 2011 tournaments had the semifinals on Sunday

3/3/15 3:09pm

When did they abandon their roots? Catholics used to keep the sabbath holy...

bluefish

3/3/15 3:18pm

about 50 years ago.

roseyscenario

3/3/15 4:04pm

Drew is Eeyore.

3/3/15 4:02pm

Dont' insult Eeyore

Coogar2

3/3/15 5:01pm

I like the WCC. And, Drew is a hater and bad writer.

Coogar2

3/3/15 5:16pm

While i agree with Drew on WCC/BYU marriage, he is utterly wrong about fan base.
