I guess Mike liked the way he matched up the teams for last Saturday’s open scrimmage. For the Red-White game, he just swapped the shirt colors and Bailey and Manny swapped teams.
I may have to drive up from North Little Rock Sunday. Would love to see this game.
The encouraging aspect of the rosters is that both sides have a legit PG, a shooter, a wing, two hybrid forwards with some skillz and athleticism, and a low post player. We no longer have just one or even zero options at multiple position types.
This will likely be taken the wrong way, but I am going to ask it anyway.
Do you think Bo Mattingly can be objective with how he seems to be chummy with CMA and CBB? Celebrity coaching the Red-White game. Making a reality show with CBB. Do you believe he has lost any objectivity with these endeavors? I think it would be human nature to have lost a little. This isn’t a judge of his character or his ability as a radio host, just his job as a journalist. Then again, he may not consider himself a journalist.
This matters?
I don’t think he’s objective at all, but that’s not his job. He’s a talk show host, not a reporter bound to an objective standard. He may use journalistic skills from time to time to do his job, but he’s not a journalist, per se. If you want objectivity, you need to look elsewhere, say Matt, Jimmy, Duds, Clay, Tom Murphy and Bob Holt.
I think Bo is in the entertainment business, not journalism. His show is intended to attract listeners first and foremost. There is information provided, to be sure, but a lot of it comes from Clay, DD and guests. And Being Bret Bielema is purely entertainment.
Response:
You aren’t serious are you, this is a scrimmage amoung players all on the same team
I don’t get how that plays a role in the game itself. Can you elaborate?
Absolutely no role in the game.
No. But neither does 99% of what is posted on this board. It is sports.
And Blake Eddins isn’t biased? Or isn’t he a journalist either? its sports. No journalists are unbiased esp not sports coverage. Come on. But who is better coach? Judging by their commentary, no way I can go with Blake… To be fair tho, we haven’t heard Bo try to do play by play.
Good Lord
