The editorial that Tom Miller ran made things all the worse. Bet Faison thought he could cool things down locally, but had no idea how that this would become a national story.

Faison (calling): Yeah, Tom!! Like to talk to about the why's on the Ralson suspension story. (thinking, he know's he needs access to me for future stories) Do you have a minute?

Miller: Sure. Love to hear it.

Faison: Well, Tom this is why we had to take action. ..... blah, blah ..... blah, blah ......

Miller: Makes perfect sense to me. Maybe I'll write a commentary on why this was the right action. The general public just doesn't understand why.

Faison: (Thinking, it worked perfectly!!) That would be awesome, Tom. Always so good to talk with you! Call me anytime you have any questions. (thinking: that was brilliant of me!)

Not to say that this type talk isn't normal between AD's and beatwriters. Beat writers can be cut off from their sources if they sometimes don't town the AD line.

Which of those have "torn us apart" and which of those posted an AP story? Huge difference and a classic overreaction by you.

Tom Miller's piece was pure UND brown-nosing. I thought the media's job was to be objective and to hold the establishment accountable?

Pretty sure that was printed as a "Column" by Tom, which is not the same as sports news - it's considered to be an article written to share thoughts and opinions.

Whatever you want to call it, it makes the Heraldo look like a tool of UND Public Relations. Not good.

Hard to believe that story has been picked up by so many news outlets...I guess it is that crappy time between the Super Bowl and March Madness/MLB starting and sports news is a little weak right now.

I can't say I predicted this story would be picked up by this many national outlets and get this much attention, but I knew from the moment I read about the suspension that the suspension would get more publicity than the underlying events did. It was obvious from the beginning that the suspension was a PR blunder.

I guess it does have that "man bites dog" appeal to it. ???
