He tweets about BYU, so naturally CB will be upset

SUAVO

Imagine if he ever tweets about BYU womens soccer

Because he hates BYU athletics and seems smug/giddy when bad things happen.

I haven't seen anything to support that based on my month of following him

Not taking a position in this discussion, but it has been the off-season.

One month is a VERY small sampling. Wait for it... He's not a fan of BYU.

Research assignment: go to the SLTrib and read his stories from past years.

John Doe

So, pretty much like any reporter ever?

HawkCat

8/30/15 8:26pm

Well he did go to Utah. So at least one.

jkccoug

8/30/15 8:23pm

He gets more grief than he deserves.

Y'zFan

8/30/15 8:44pm

Agreed. I like Jay Drew because I get info. without the blue goggles.

fredgarvin

8/30/15 8:46pm

Except you really don't get great info from him that is not already available...

BengalCougar

True, but that could be said of all the beat writers.

While it's true that BYU has been less open with the media, I would still...

The "voice of the Cougars" isn't pro-BYU enough for this crowd.

JoeMamaBesser

Not sure he has sources anymore. He uses a lot of conjecture.

BlueNtheFace

8/30/15 9:14pm

His job as a reporter is to know, not guess, or call up a current byu student

Sigh. Reporters don't write headlines.

fredgarvin

8/30/15 10:39pm

Sigh, it depends on how rinky-dink your opertion is... the SLTrib is rinky dink

Jomo

The Trib still has multiple copy editors, who write the headlines.

Jay reports BYU like you'd expect from a Ute grad, SL trib writer

cajuncoug

Great summary of Drew. I agree completely with your sentiments.

TempeCoug

Listen to his interviews and read his articles for a few months and you'll

Headlines come from the editor

Blue2thebone

8/31/15 12:49am

Even if Jay writes for years with zero input into his headlines, which I doubt

Because he's about as athletic looking as Dom Deluise.

SoValleyCOUG

Journalists ranked most athletic to least: photographers-> foreign

Dick Harmon resembles that remark.
