Wolken say "Cultish Cliquish Media Bubble Surrounding Oxford" - HELLO Clarion Ledger - the lead college football personality for your owners #1 newspaper is calling your *** out!
This is hilarious
Wolken is obviously pissed at the media members carrying the Ole Miss message & the fact the fact that is being vilified by the Ole Miss fan base.
He is calling out Godfrey for the Donte Moncrief article because of the Moncrief relationship with disassociated booster Arya Keyes

I think part of the reason Wolken's been particularly on this (in addition to the fact it's his job to be) is that he used to work at the Commercial Appeal. I assume he was probably close enough to Ole Miss stuff to hear about what a lot of people knew was going on, but far enough removed to not buy into it. I don't think he ever covered Ole Miss there, so wouldn't have had the contacts, but was probably frustrated at the lack of coverage from anyone else given what he heard. Pure speculation on my part.

Probably both. Bo ends by saying "there are two people who have consistently been right on this OM story, Dan Wolken and Steve Robertson".

He said at the beginning of the interview he'd written countless stories about schools like Penn State and Tennessee and people always cry that he has an agenda against them... but this experience has been different. Ole Miss fans have made it personal and he's never seen a culture like theirs.

Wake up bear fans.. national writers are saying they've never seen university leaders act like yours.
Lawyers who've been involved in high level litigation all over the country are saying they've never seen a government entity act like yours.
The NCAA basically just said they've never seen an athletics department act like yours.

But hey... y'all played Hillsong and Casting Crowns at practice so you're being persecuted, I guess.

Pretty obvious that local reporters think its good for their careers (assuming they want to stay around MS) if they don't touch the OM NCAA issue with a 10 foot pole. They don't want to get Blevined so to speak. We use to talk about coaches that got fired after losing to a Croom coached football team as getting "Croomed". I am now using the term "Blevined" for any MS reporter who is blackballed because he did actual investigative reporting into the OM cheating scandal. So they don't so much think its good for business to be wrong, they just think its good for business to "hear no evil, see no evil" when it comes to reporting on OM athletics. They certainly have no interest in turning over any stones to see what they find.

Which would make them both bad at their jobs and profiting from being wrong.

Glad some of the national writers are seeing the "cult" like characteristics of the OM fanbase culture. Its what we see all the time but when we complain about it to others they think its just our bias against them because they are our archrival. I really do wish we had a school that had some true class, values and ethics as our rival that you could at least respect even if you didn't like. Dealing with the OM administration and big time boosters is like having to deal with the mafia on a day to day basis.

Right on all counts. Most of these writers don't have much desire to move up in a profession where Rebels run the show. I was fired from my last sportswriting job by the owner because I was a State grad... and the publisher who hired me was a good friend of my uncle. They are just trying to cover their butts because the only jobs they can move up further in requires dealing with UM J-school grads...

The Bo Bounds website is....

...the worst in history. I can't even find a link to the material that was broadcast an hour ago. Jeeze.

Am I missing a link somewhere?

This is the only issue I ever had with anything Brandon Walker said. When the Clarion ledger first refused to cover any of this Brandon said it had to do with "incompetence" on the part of Whataburger. It's always been about protecting OM. Always. Even back to the 50's and 60's the Clarion Ledger/Jackson Daily News refused to portray OM in a negative light. But they will unleash the hounds of hell on Starkviile a heartbeat.

According to Nafoom the only chance they have in any of this is hoping LL is deposed before 9/11. It's getting to the point that I seriously hope Leo doesn't go out by himself and has situational awareness. It wouldn't surprise me if some OM people haven't already thought of kidnapping him or worse so he doesn't show.

I got a little snicker from this. Those little sniveling weaklings would be broken in half by Lewis. I've myself been worried about a few things in my life... being on the receiving end of an assault from any of those momma's boys isn't one of them.

He should stay aware. Wolken and Rosie need security and food tasters.

The podcast version is on iTunes, or the Podcasts app if you have iPhone.

It's a good app.
