Ok, I believe you. I retract my statement...he's not an idiot. But the paper he
works for is a pile of crap.

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

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

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

It's a lazy piece...

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

I understand ...

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

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

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

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

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

You can have your opinion. I can disagree.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good to know....

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

I'm not a particular fan of the Trib. But Jay is the best BYU reporter
mannheimadler
3/3/15 1:27pm
you're biased.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Not every reporter is going to be Greg Wrubell or Harmon
mannheimadler

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

Those are overused in journalism in general

From Jay's tweets it is clear

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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