247's Post-Spring Top 25

  • I just put him on blast again, he keeps claiming he is not in his Bucknuts position yet his personal LinkedIN page lists it and so does how he represents himself on Twitter.....So much for any shred of integrity he is trying to tell us he has:

    Per Mr. Steve "Oletangybanks" Helwagen's latest post over there, he works for 247 but still contributes to Bucknuts.

    This is news to me, but is correct.

    Hey, as long as my donate is not paying his salary, it's cool.

    My donate's not paying his salary, right?

    Correct, your donate pays for Spartan Tailgate's writers.

    Do we as the largest Big10 message board have no say in who represents 'us'?

    Stop acting like page-views and ad-views are meaningless....tRCMB doubles every other board on here in that regard, it gives you some pull.

    The premise that priorities are based on the "ranking" of sites (no matter how it's done) is incorrect to begin with. It's never been like that.

    So Bucknuts just gets prioritized because...?

    I'll bet the reality is it's the other way around. Bucknuts butters his bread & 247 is a little extra sugar.

    Why would we?

    The fact is "Steve" isn't that great of a writer(IMHO) nor is he a good journalist, if 247 were my company I wouldn't want a person like that representing me in such a "prominent" position as THE writer for a conference.

    I agree, his resume and Twitter badge seem to back this up...even though he is in spin control as usual.

    I'm just asking why tRCMB (or rather some angry posters) should have some say in the appointment of writers to positions. lol

    So your contention is that shoddy journalism is to be tolerated as long as not too many people complain? Journalistic integrity is now judged by public opinion? Can't say I'm surprised to see this coming from you.

    Might have something to do with the fact that "sock gate" was swept under the rug? It was explained to the users at Bucknuts that is was just some trolling RCMB posters making shit up...

    As you are terrible at drawing conclusions from things I've written (like when I said that tRCMB needs to step up their game and be more entertaining and you said that I was pointing fingers away from 247), once again you've missed the point completely. What I said was that they weren't going to take our complaints seriously when no one else was complaining. I didn't tell you to tolerate shoddy journalism. In fact, I didn't tell you to do anything.

    lol Your posts implied the complaints are invalid & we should just move along & you know it.

    I just don't know the best way to go about what you guys are trying to do. I'm not defending the dude. I'm just not outraged. I don't bother reading his crap. That's how I deal with it. If you guys want to fight the good fight, go for it. I honestly don't think all the protesting from us will amount to anything. This is NOT a statement on what to do (for Heat Miser). It's my opinion based upon previous experiences that tRCMB has had.

    No. They absolutely weren't. I don't care what you idiots do. It seems like a lot of wasted effort.
