I'm on the "Ross Dellenger is a hack" bandwagon after reading this lead...

I typically don't like to trash the journalists around here, even Guilbeau, but damn if Dellenger doesn't have a corn cob up his arse.
LSU loses a mid-week game in February to Nicholls State and the game story starts with this sentence:
So that is your lead? Really? What shitty journalism. What does that have to do with the game that took place? Why stick that at the top of your game story?
The Advocate should be embarrassed to employ someone who has such a lack of basic journalistic common sense.

Some of you guys take lsu athletics way too serious

Dellenger doesn't know very much about baseball as a college sport, but you seriously need to chill out. It's a media headline. Were you born yesterday?

I wouldn't put any stock into anything Dellenger writes

They have polls in February don't they? And they take into account mid week games. What's hard to understand?

It is very hackish, to be sure. It's also par for the course. But it helps to have lower expectations of small-market beat writers on deadline.
Game recap stories hardly ever add insight to the event. The quotes are canned, the analysis superficial. I don't read it.
I say this as a Manship grad and former journalist. I appreciate their work because it's pretty thankless and you catch shite from anonymous nobodies, but at the same time there is a very low talent threshold to get a job like that.

That guy is Twitter diarrhea

Well, it's true and there is zero reasons to lose to that team, ever!

#1 Vanderbilt lost a game to Santa Clara on the weekend. No worries there or in Nashville. Get a grip! Their Jr. Transfer pitcher vs. our "True Freshman" in his first collegiate start and we left like 10,000 runners on base which wasn't his fault or the bats of Nicholls State.

I was going to start a thread about this when I read the article this morning, but you read my mind. The dude understands so little about baseball.

what he wrote was true you quivering bitch. dont be such a pussy. LSU lost to Nicholls fricking state. the headline could have been "lsu pisses itself" and it would have been appropriate
Dellenger is one of the few journalist who does their homework in this town(at least during football season). he had excellent post game breakdowns all football season. settle down

The only thing more meaningless than college baseball polls in February is college basketball polls anytime.
