Its always been puzzling how Pitt's supposed flagship station has gotten away with hiring clowns who openly mock the program. Im sure the SP appologists wont like this but I suspect that Barnes and company wont tolerate that kind of garbage and will look elsewhere when the time comes. Its one thing to be fair in the critique of the program. I don't think anyone expects the media to give the program a free pass for playing poorly. But Pitts own flag station should at least not have employees openly rooting against and putting down program .

I'll bet Barnes has as much influence on how a radio station hires their talent as sp did, which is none.

Cook is a lazy journalist who has written 3 articles in less than 2 weeks slamming Jamie and Pitt hoops. He goes out of his way to kick the Panthers when they are down. I am interested if he will write another article now that they have gotten a good win on the road.

Exactly. It's not that he's always wrong (even thought he mostly is), it's that he seems to get some joy out of putting Pitt down in any way possible. After Jamie's first season he said Pitt losing in the Sweet Sixteen three years in a row was the biggest waste of talent ever. The guy just always has to be negative.

If you see cook as I have.. He gets FU.
Phony, double barreled FU fingers.

Maybe the ZOO should take notice...

That would be fine if he was doing the Syracuse pre-game show. Orange fandom certainly has NO pace on a Pitt pre-game show. This show is for Pitt fans and faithful, it is there solely to gin up interest and provide up to the date information on PItt to the faithful. Not many fans of other programs are going to be tuning in!
No one listening to that show is interested in hearing about Syracuse, or Boeheim, or Pitt bashing. Factual criticism is fair game, but it gets really old to listen to the co host have to defend Pitt, or shout down Orange praise on a PITT pre-game show on our flagship station!

I agree. If FullOfBaloney is on the Pitt flagship station and doing a pre-game show, he should be drumming up support, stats, conversation about Pitt, not the opposition, whoever they are. If he talks about the opposition, it should be in the context of how Pitt needs to beat them and how we will beat them. For him to blatantly root for and support 'Cuse on the Pitt flaship station in Pittsburgh is grounds for firing as far as I'm concerned. If he wants to do that, let him go to that septic tank known as the city of Syracuse and be on their radio station. No place for his schtick here.
