Glenn Guilbeau is hardly biased against LSU...
Paul Manasseh was his mentor, and Herb Vincent is his good friend...He worked with both as a student in the LSU Sports Information Department...
Mr. Manasseh, the legendary former LSU SID, helped him get his first job, and help him obtain employment later...
Guilbeau has been a great fan, and has had to witness as the Advocate took him off the LSU lead, and no longer allowed him to write game stories in favor of Carl Dubois...basically a demotion...if only in name only, but quite apparent by anyone who keeps track of who is writing what in the paper...
Guilbeau-like any man in his profession-is out to do quality work #1, but #2 and sometimes, #1A, his job is to get people's eyes into the paper...by any means necessary...
People hate Richard Condon, but he BLEW 98.1's asses out of the water in morning time drive slots across the Metro BR area...
Why? Because people are motivated to listen to him to see what he will say next...They dislike him, but like listening him so that they can keep track and be reminded of WHY they dislike him...
You all complain about Guilbeau and attack his credibility, and most laughably, talk about his objectivity, when in fact he's voicing a contrary opinion in the Lion's Den of subjectivity...
It is quite interesting how you all keep doing exactly what Guilbeau wants you to do...which is read...
All of you claim that you can't stand him, how anti-LSU he is, when he's a graduate, and has worked for the AD before as a student, and how he has no credibility or yadda, yadda, yadda...Yet for all this invective, you still read...
Why?
If you dislike him so much, why not vote with your MONEY?
Why not vote with your EYES...
E-mail the Advocate each and every day and complain, and also tell them you don't read the Sports Section because of Guilbeau's involvement in it...
Why stop there? If you are care so deeply and are so genuinely honest about your dislike for the man, why not go find the Advertisers in the Advocate's Sports Section.
Tell them that you will no longer pay them patronage on account of the Advocate's continual inclusion of Guilbeau as one of their staff writers....
Trust me, it will work...I promise you...
For some reason, I think flowery prose in e-mails directed towards Mr. Guilbeau will be the best you all muster up, but if you TRULY WERE AS MAD AND UNHAPPY AS YOU CLAIM TO BE, then do something about it...
I'm waiting....
LSUtigah, Twisted Tiger, Bayou Bomber, New Jersey Tiger, cjdav1, SabanFan, Texican, and Dutchtown Tiger, I'm waiting to see some e-mails to advertisers and the BUSINESS OFFICE AND/OR EDITORS DESK!
Tic..........tic..........tic....
LOL@all of you!
