Keenum letting his disgust be known.

[preachermatt83]

Word is they won't permanently pull bonners credentials but expect them to be "suspended" for a while. Keenum is ticked.

Looks like the CL is standing by the report - should prove entertaining.

Keenum has more balls than Stricklin which is not shocking.

Was it ever confirmed that Stricklin had testicles in the first place?

Ouch...

Showing balls would be revoking their media credentials for a while. Either get on board and report on us fairly or sit on the outside.

THIS all day long!!!

Do we honestly think there would be negative repercussions if Dr. Keenum told the CL to not bother sending any reporters or beat writers to Starkville for a year or so?

[WSOPdawg]

And out-17-ing standing to Dr. Keenum!!!

I've been wanting this to happen for quite a bit. Anymore, what the hell do we need the CL for?

And this is another thing that was brought up to me, would Keenum be this mad and suspend credentials over a leaked story that just comes out earlier than we wanted? There are other things at play here that has made it into a cluster for Keenum and it may be backfiring on someone as well.

LT had 1.

So are you on Keenum's side if he chooses Cohen?

He let 'em have it.

[drunkernhelldawg]

Doesn't matter. It's unethical to break a story like that if you are a newspaper.

Why? Stories are published based on leaks all the time. There's no ethical breech unless the public is misled or lied to. However, failing to seek confirmation from MSU admin is an ethical problem if true.

What I don't understand is why people are flipping out about Cohen, if we announce some up and coming name for a mid major, is anyone going to be excited? I really have no opinion on Cohen or no, but I don't get the notion that he is automatically bad.

So there was nothing misleading about reporting a non-truth? Mmmmmk.

Well doesn't Keenum's statement do that? That the article is not factual.

I would not agree with Keenum if he chooses Cohen. I think it's a mistake and could burn our baseball program and athletic dept.

What I would do if it were me is hire someone with AD experience and tell Cohen that I am going to help him become better prepared to be the AD one day by increasing his AD duties and increase his pay to reflect the increase in job duties.

[maroonmania]

Well one thing I would disagree with Keenum on is calling the CL a "reputable newspaper". They haven't been that for quite a while at least as it pertains to their reporting on sports.

I think that's very possible. It could be the opposite in that the current athletic staff may not want Cohen. Although the rumor is they want him so that may not be the case.

Correct. Even if Cohen becomes AD he was not selected today and has not even been interviewed and the story was not verified with our administration.

As I have said he has no AD experience and the odds are it is likely to hurt out baseball program in the process. As an AD he is a HUGE risk and I don't think there is any question about that even for the people that are "intrigued" by it or think "it might work".

Personally I think we need someone from outside the MSU family to shake things up big time.
