Glad you have a sense of humor, 97GradyDawg! ' Cause that's what is needed. :)
Well since we are all bragging on our journalism degrees, let me add my name to that august list. Add to that, more than 35 years in the daily newspaper industry as a writer and editor. Indeed Connor has his share of mistakes in his copy, some downright basic. But I'm less bothered by an obvious typo -- as this clearly was -- than I am with some of the extremely poorly constructed pieces by him and his colleagues. All stories need a beginning, a middle and an end. Some of the DawgNation stories forget that theory, forcing the reader to guess or think in non-linear fashion to follow the arc of the article. That's where the lack of an editor hurts them the most, when stories are just merely compilation of facts, or either unnecessary words and sentences that repeat the same information three paragraphs in a row, just said a different way. Or misapplied analogies to describe players that need no further description than their height, weight, position and classification because anything else is just word "clutter." There are so many other journalistic faux pas too numerous to outline here. But a typo, while bothersome and factually incorrect, is probably not enough to call anyone out over at this point.
According to Monken, Beck has not been ruled out of getting all the snaps this season. I think competition is good for getting the best out of competitors. They all need to push each other and may the best QB win the starting job.
The worm has certainly turned. CKS has fully grown into a championship capable Head Coach. Now the ingredients of his championship dish are assembled.
His ability to recruit at a top level have always been on display. Now he's rendering a gold medal pinot noir (defense) with a stellar plate of filet mignon and black garlic infused Salmonskin pasta salad. (Offense) [Yes, my NorCal roots are on full display in these comments... lol]
A QB of Brock's pedigree doesn't just fall off the back of a truck. It's nurtured. Our new Offensive staff will fully develop his talent pallet which will (hopefully) result in multiple trips too the playoff with at least one raising of the hardware before he moves on too the league . Go Dawgs!!
I am still concerned about Brock. The competition he plays against is very idk vanilla.
For you journalism majors, I'm sure these guys are on a tight timeline and for the most part don't use pen and paper (joke) but use voice recognition when penning their articles. I consistently send texts that are incorrect due to the VR but they get the message across.
They get a pass grammatically from me, got more to worry about than how an article is composed vs the content.
