Re: Stu Strikes Again!
Stu just thinks that his you know what doesn't stink. I know what he is doing here and if you look at the comments to his blog, they are all from SDSU supporters. He has done what he likes to do best, get under our frickin' skin, and we keep falling for his grade school antics. I wish I could just ignore the POS, but it is like looking at an accident, you don't want to, but you just have to. I am starting to wonder if he really thinks he is that clever or if he is trying to piss us off. Can't tell anymore. I don't subscribe to the Argus, just look at it on the web, so I can't cancel. Anyway, I have to be able to show support to TV some way too. I just have to quit reading threads about him and not looking at his column.

He rags on SDSU all the time and you imply it is about us being thin skinned or something. How does my distaste demonstrate being uptight if I might ask? I think criticism can be constructive but his ranting and arrogance don't equal that in the slightest.

Re: Stu Strikes Again!
This piece was more than just a blog entry on the Argus website, this was his monologue during this past weeks visit on KWSN. That's right, Stu is on Sports Talk with Craig and John every Thursday at 4 pm and has a little segment called Stu Spews, I'm sorry, I meant Stu's Views. Stu's View's is Stu's feeble attempt at adding a little humor to the past weeks sports news, while Craig Mattick can be heard in the background laughing at Stu's jokes with his high pitched chuckles, kind of like a prepubescent Ed McMahon. This message board and its members are frequent targets of Stu and Craig's jabs. It's to bad a city the size of Sioux Falls can't have more than one local sports talk show. Thank God for Matt Perrault on AM 590 out of Omaha, a good entertaining alternative to KWSN even though it isn't local.

Originally posted by Rabbitlivinginverm View PostHow sad is it for Craig, Mike, Stu and any other media outlet that they make fun of a message board? Seriously? That's just dumb. Can't they come up with other stuff to talk about than a message board? I guess I can see why they read it. News pops up here first before it ever hits their hands. At least Mike_H. had the balls to register and chat with everyone.
More than sad, I just never really understood it. Isn't sports media folks making fun of sports message boards and their contributors kind of like somebody like Hostess making fun of fat kids who like sweets?

Re: Stu Strikes Again!
Perhaps we should all pool our money and sponsor Stu's segment on the show.
Wouldn't it just grind on Craig to have to say, "The next segment featuring Stu Whitney is brought to you by SDSUfans.com. Of, by and for South Dakota State Jackrabbits fans, SDSUfans.com is your source for breaking news about SDSU athletics." I think Stu's head would explode.“I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what’s it seems scary and wierd. It’ll happen to you.” — Abe Simpson

Re: Stu Strikes Again!
Honestly, I have known Stu for nearly 20 years. I don't think he cares at all what anybody thinks. He's doing his thing and has had some good success doing it his way.
About now in these discussions, a wise board member usually posts something like: "Don't let Stu rent space in your head."
In this case, it's particularly apt. Stu's blog isn't exactly something that hundreds of people are reading and recommending. TV's blog is by far the Argus Leader's most popular, and it isn't even close. You could walk out on your driveway right now and holler as loud as you can and you'd immediately reach more people than regularly read Stu's blog.
When it comes to dealing with the media, you have to take the bad with the good. In this case, I'd say we get a whole lot more good than bad from the Argus. If you cancel your subscription because of Stu, you're just making it less likely that TV will be allowed to cover SDSU the way he has.
Cherish your local paper, flaws and all. More and more newspapers are going belly up. Today, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer went up for sale. If nobody bites (I'd be surprised if anybody does) it's going out of business.Holy nutmeg!
