He has been tasked with covering the S16 in Memphis this week. He will back on the Tiger beat next week.

Ok, cool

Some people are capable of multitasking-such as Jason tweeting during games and STILL MEETING HIS DEADLINE which our new beat writer claims he couldn't do until the bosses got on him.

It was easy for Jason to multitask since he would just report whatever pastner wanted him to say. Pastner may have even written the articles for him.

The game articles now read like the dry AP versions

Well in fairness to Jason he didn't want to get barred from practice after he reported the Murphy/Cyp fisticuffs

I like the new guy.

I usually agree with damn near everything you say here but the jury is a bit out for me on this guy. I'm probably just being to critical on him though.

I never said I didn't like him. I'm eager to hear about basketball recruiting and updated info with our dynamic indoor practice facility. It's coming along beautifully. The guy runs circles around Jason Smith as the Tigers' beat writer. Go Tigers!

No problem at all. I enjoy reading your posts!

He seems to be a good writer and reporter....however, I'm not sure how much he cares about covering his beat. Dunno. Maybe I'm wrong.

I get the same impression. Memphis is definitely a stepping stone to a bigger, more profitable market. I don't think he gets the obsession Tiger fans have about our basketball here. It's serious!!

maybe nothing is going on with recruiting.

He is a Michigan fan and makes no bones about it.
