The local media ( mainly Koki) is hard to listen to.

I get to the point at these press conferences that I feel bad for Lane and Jay Johnson. Some of the questions they asked is just plain awful. They're not creative and they ask the same thing every week..

Koki asked who the starting quarterback will be Saturday. Do they really think coach is gonna give that information out? So our competition, we'll get the heads up?

I get to the point I don't even enjoy watching these every week.

It's hard to take anyone named Koki seriously.

I don’t even think a Reveille writer would have asked that question. But a beat writer for the Advocate? Yikes!

At least Koki is going to the things he is suppose to after he decided baseball season is a good time to take PTO

Well, I would guess that information is near or at the top of the list of things fans would like to know.

Maybe not. But you at least ask the question. The coach can decide how he wants to answer it.

Would you prefer press conferences where the media asks 20 irrelevant questions?

"Lane, how do you like Baton Rouge so far?"
"Lane, have you eaten crawfish yet?"
"Lane, what would you suggest as to how to fix traffic?"
"Lane, what's your favorite color?"

Teh o/u on topics this week asking who LSU will start at QB this weekend on the board is probably around 20. I would hope a reporter would ask that question...even if he is unlikely to get a direct answer

Isn't that a valid question to ask? Doing the job? Maybe ask it a different way like - is there a chance that Sam sits this weekend?

Also, guys, it's McNeese this week.

the only reason Rabalais keeps his gig is because he doesn't want to lose his masters coverage privileges

I mean, let's be honest. Being in local media, especially print (newspapers, online or otherwise), with each passing year becomes more and more a shite job with shite pay.

I don't blame him. Going to the masters every year is quite the perk!

I thought the same exact thing. Didn’t realize it was Koki, makes sense though. Guy is awful.

I love listening to Doucet’s lunch show. Usually pretty good and I find he always ask decent questions.

Doucet and Mascona (say what you want to about him) always ask good questions in the press conferences.

They know they won't get an answer but they will be writing about a need a quote from the coach. I don't get the vitriol some of the reporters get on here. Its a game they play and so do the coaches. Does it hurt to ask, no.

Other than the chick who used to basaeball she sucked.

And he is a damn good writer. He is one of the few reasons I have to still read the advocate.

She isn't even in media right now. Somehow she ended up on my twitter feed last week and she made a post about how she is in a ton of debt going to college and pursuing sportswriting, and that right now she is cat-sitting and doing odd jobs.

The last thing I remember her doing was working as some sort of feature writer for the Astros, and a couple months in someone went back into her Twitter history and pulled up some of her tweets about the Astros being a bunch of cheaters (she is a Rangers fan I think), so I don't know how long that job lasted.
