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.

ChubbyChaser

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

currentbyustudent

8/30/15 8:25pm

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

RebelScum

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

8/30/15 9:22pm

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

8/30/15 9:22pm

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

8/30/15 9:10pm

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

Headlines like: Blackmon is just barely hanging on at BYU

Jomo

8/30/15 9:56pm

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

8/31/15 12:26am

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

8/30/15 10:21pm

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

TempeCoug

8/30/15 10:29pm

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

Bostonblue

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.

If I remember correctly, Jay Drew also replaced a very good beat writer...
