New Wake Beat Writer

[deacdixieboy]

Looks like Conor O'Neill got the job. He has a My Take on Wake up.

 

[Milhouse]

i look forward to criticizing every word he writes

Yeah I thought Les would/should have gotten the gig but good luck to Conor.

Most important question - Where did he go to school

 

[Neurodeac]

Well, Lazydeac since you are living up to your name, I looked it up and he went to Elon.

Elon. Figures you wouldn't look it up yourself.

 

[Dekin]

Good luck Conor. Write well.

(my sister went to Elon)

Might be good that he isn't from the light blue journalism school.

I was thinking when I saw his light blue shirt, "Dude, you have got to be kidding me! Wearing a light blue shirt to introduce yourself as the new Wake Sports beat writer is simply not wise!"

Saying he liked to use movie quotes was a little Lenox Rawlings. Who used to do the Rawlings parodies? Some of the funniest shit ever on our forums. Loved that stuff.

Conor did an outstanding job at the Burlington Times News...He will do an outstanding job for Wake...

An Austin Powers joke, I like him already.

He took a good shot at Jeffrey Bzzzz in his first "My Take On Wake," so he's off to a good start.

^ he's totally pandering to the boards.

Nothing wrong with knowing your audience and what makes them happy. Trashing Bzzzz makes us happy!

 

[Neurodeac]

Acid test:. Ask him who he (would have) voted for for ACC Basketball player of the year.

oh for sure!

Conor got off to a great start this weekend with three good pieces about the game and our program. Kudos for giving our guys the coverage they deserve! Keep it coming!

Welcome Conor, but grammatically, Wake fans are a fairly demanding bunch. Time to up your game (and get a proofreader).

So he has poor keyng skills and no editor. Let's give him a grade of 98; 100 points for good coverage and then take two points off for spelling!
