What a terrible look a lot of you are presenting by bullying and harassing a reporter. Was the question great? Maybe not, but who knows whether it is part of a bigger story that is being worked on.
If you feel the need to give feedback, do it in a constructive way. We’ve got people saying he sucks at his job, they need to send another reporter, one guy on Twitter even made a creepy reference to being at the game with a gun.
I guarantee we aren’t all perfection in our jobs day to day, and if you had the peanut gallery questioning everything you did and telling you that you are terrible every time you do something sub-optimally, it would get old fast. It is days like this I realize there is an underbelly of USU fans who are exactly as awful as BYU and Utah folks constantly allege.

Some of the fan policing on this board is getting tiring. Luckily it is only a few posters who really do it. Yes there are things that can cross the line on here, but saying a reporter covering the Aggies didn't do a good job isn't one of them.

Re: Salt Lake Tribune's coverage of the scrimmage
Just to clarify, I 100 percent agree that the Trib's coverage of USU is pretty pathetic, and based on his Aggie coverage in the past, I don't think Alex Vejar is very good at his job. I just feel like there's a very fine line between lamenting about that and making personal attacks. There's no reason to make fun of somebody's voice and call him names just because he asked a silly question.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑April 18th, 2021, 10:37 amYeah even if you are the strictest person alive on mask use, it isn't the coaches job to police the crowd for masks. Personal attacks aren't good, but this guy clearly doesn't really care about USU football if that is what he is focused on when interviewing the coach.Intermeddler wrote: ↑April 18th, 2021, 1:17 amI don’t think anyone is offended beyond it’s insulting this is the coverage we get from the Tribune.

Surprise surprise, I don't know Coach Anderson and will probably never get to ask him a question directly. Since that is my situation, I rely on the media to ask good questions to keep me informed. He didn't do a good job there.

Re: Salt Lake Tribune's coverage of the scrimmage
Yeah if he just asked some questions that weren't the best, but were at least about the football program, I'd say lay off it. Here, he was asking a question that wasn't anything that concerns Coach Anderson.

This is a stupid question for a reporter. I want to hear journalists unbiased take on the team, the reason I might subscribe to the publication. This was a waste of time of a question. Watch the scrimmage, take notes, and find problems to address with the coach after.
That is called doing your job.

It being a bad question has nothing to do with covid, vaccines or masks. It is just an irrelevant question for a football coach by a sports reporter who should be educating his readers on the state of the football program, not on a coach's opinion on what some fans are doing.

People can make their own choice. I am not sure if you agree with him about the masks or not. But I was there I didnt have my mask on. I didnt have anyone within 20 feet of us. And we are both fully vaccinated. Wearing a mask at that point is 100% worthless theater.rAggie wrote: ↑April 18th, 2021, 11:00 amThis entire thread is embarrassing for USU fans.

Speaking of worthless theater, coaches wearing masks is just that.

What a terrible look a lot of you are presenting by bullying and harassing a reporter. Was the question great? Maybe not, but who knows whether it is part of a bigger story that is being worked on.
If you feel the need to give feedback, do it in a constructive way. We’ve got people saying he sucks at his job, they need to send another reporter, one guy on Twitter even made a creepy reference to being at the game with a gun.
I guarantee we aren’t all perfection in our jobs day to day, and if you had the peanut gallery questioning everything you did and telling you that you are terrible every time you do something sub-optimally, it would get old fast. It is days like this I realize there is an underbelly of USU fans who are exactly as awful as BYU and Utah folks constantly allege.

Re: Salt Lake Tribune's coverage of the scrimmage
So to get back to his job, did he file an article and was it any good. Just wondering. He was here so hopefully he wrote about it

Re: Salt Lake Tribune's coverage of the scrimmage
I agree especially when they are getting tested regularly. It is absolute stupid propaganda to have them wear masks when they are getting tested as frequently as the players.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑April 18th, 2021, 9:39 pmSpeaking of worthless theater, coaches wearing masks is just that.

Especially true considering that every time they have a serious conversation with a player or need to yell they pull the mask down to do so.Aggie84025 wrote: ↑April 19th, 2021, 10:12 amI agree especially when they are getting tested regularly.

Re: Salt Lake Tribune's coverage of the scrimmage
Not just stupid, but terrible propaganda as Intermeddler points out since they spend the whole game pulling the mask down to talk to players. You see more images of coaches with the mask on their chin than with it covering their mouth and nose.Aggie84025 wrote: ↑April 19th, 2021, 10:12 amI agree especially when they are getting tested regularly.

Hopefully by next season there won't be a mask mandate, but if there is, they just need to treat coaches the same as players.

Re: Salt Lake Tribune's coverage of the scrimmage
here's the article: https://www.sltrib.com/sports/utah-stat ... footballs/
not exceptionally well written, IMO ("a sense of competitiveness that was few and far between last year"??), and he could have dug a little deeper (nothing in there about either line, linebacking corps, injuries [except to Bonner], or general "depth", etc.). But he at least justified his travel reimbursement request with a football related article, haha.

Re: Salt Lake Tribune's coverage of the scrimmage
For me, it's clear the reporter was looking to create some drama. In essence he was looking to pick a fight of sorts. This effort was transparent to most and they called him on it. Are there some who were less than respectful in doing it? Yes, but they don't speak for all Aggies fans, and he poked a bear to get a reaction, and now he got his reaction. He does not get choose the reaction he gets, however.

Re: Salt Lake Tribune's coverage of the scrimmage
He did a nice article on the 19th. Read through it and it was as decent as you could expect. Glad he drove up and did some work.
More than we can say for Goon. Sorry Goon your willingness to put any effort into writing stuff on USU will be widely laughed for years to come here.

uhh, you sure about that? The Goon article I just read about this return missionary recruit out of Bountiful, Utah was pretty freaking good.

I think Goon released that one on Monday. I'm pretty stocked about that Merrill kid. He seems like a baller.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
