For the millionth time, she didn't get the story wrong. She didn't see it, but a beat writer did.
Others saw it as well.
wannabeu said:Just because she was right, doesn't means she was right in the way she went about doing and getting the story. All the rumors and rumblings, the back stories on the sly and all the ashumptions in the column made it a shitty one and a badly reported one.
Ike Broflovski said:After 42 pages, you just don't get this, do you? The consensus here isn't necessarily that she had it wrong; it's that her reporting was shabby -- embarrashingly inept.ADifferentOkie said:And those "rumors and rumblings" are from the coaches, probably including Gundy himself.

How about the PMs I've received from people who know their stuff saying that the column was spot-on? People whom I know from the board, people whom I trust.
No one, no one, has disputed one fact in the column. Not even Mike Gundy, and he was given multiple opportunities to do so by Jenni Carlson.
And again, for the 300th time, fine, the kid is a pussy. Doesn't mean we write about it ... especially when we're "tiling it up on the sly."
