UDK strikes back...

http://kansan.com/sports/2012/10/09/vernon-its-not-the-kansans-job-to-be-the-football-teams-cheerleader/

I'm guessing the journalists will win the inevitable campus fight. The football team wins less fights than they do games.

Lots of self-righteous journalism cliches in there about freedom of the press and truth and stuff. Charlie has every right to be displeased with them.

The ending was just fantastic:
Quote
Kansas is a public university, and it has a damn good journalism school that is here teaching its students to be objective members of the Fourth Estate of the United States of America, to hold its leaders accountable, and to be a free and independent press. It’s a democracy thing, and it’s too bad a public American university would try to persuade student reporters into compromising those values.

Journalism 101:
1. Write scathing article about someone/people
2. People in question take offense
3. ?????
4. Self-righteous rant about the founding fathers and the constitution

Wow, that reads just like a DJamer Wallace twitter rant.

I think the journos should enlist the help of the basketball team to counter this threat to the sanctity of American freedoms!

The last couple months have to be the hardest in Fescoe's pro career.  I mean, all the dual savior discussion about chuck and crist.  Bob has to be dying inside.

He won't address them on air though. It's a non-story.

is LHC Bill Snyder going to single-handedly bring down the entire university of kansas?  it's a valid question.

I am not here to tell whether luking is allowed in THIS case, but I'll tell you that there is only one situation when it is ALWAYS allowed, and that is posting news stories/photos/videos after Cats' wins.
