re: Mama Mulkey went off on Glenn Guilbeau at post game press conference tonight

Here's a hot take: If that was a different National Championship winning coach, some of you would accuse the local media of treating him with kid gloves when you disagree with the way he is handling the program. Glenn just isn't afraid to ask the question that most people want to hear. Believe it or not, that is what makes him a good journalist. Journalists shouldn't be cheerleaders. They should have a slightly adversarial relationship to those they cover.

My hot take is that you don’t know the history of GG otherwise you wouldn’t have this hot take…

Slightly? Guilbeau (I don't know him so I will refer to him by last name) seems to have a more than slightly adversarial relationship with LSU. He is a hit man of sorts when it comes to covering LSU, which is fine. People would be writing about Angel Reese not playing regardless, but Guilbeau and his schtick, which Mulkey was alluding to when she asked which reporters had covered the fewest games, stands out like a sore thumb. Mulkey's press conference was a master class on how to handle the media, which is not surprising considering the things she has had to deal with in the past. She didn't tell them anything she didn't want to, and pointed out that much of what had been reported was speculation. She completely controlled the press conference.

100% the truth. This is about people loving KM and hating Guilbeau.

Journalists don’t exist to kiss the arse of the people they cover. Their job is to keep people honest. Objectively, Kim looks way worse here. She’s acting like a dictator.
