Even though it doesn't really deserve a shot at that No. 2 seed, which earns the holder thereof a first-round bye in next week's SEC Tournament, MSU can get it with wins in its last two ballgames (Wednesday vs. Florida, Saturday at Ole Miss) and Auburn losses in its final two (the other being Saturday vs. division leader LSU).Hey Brad, the team with the second best record in the West gets the number two seed. If State wins two and Auburn loses two, that team will be State.

Every school in the SEC except maybe Florida and South Carolina is within an easy drive from Tupelo. And we are not talking about a busy work trip. A tank of
gas and a $10 ticket from a scalper would suffice. Oh the horror of having to go to a baksetball game for work.

Let me know the next time a tank of gas gets you from Tupelo to Lexington, KY. | #23 | ||

Or Fayetteville, for that matter. I'll be eagerly awaiting.

Fayettville is a solid 400+ miles away. As a matter of fact, only a couple schools could be classified as an easy drive. Athens? 350 miles. And don't
forget the hotel room while you're there. Or is he driving six hours each way the same day?

Every newspaper is one of them. The main point is this though. Beat writers should never show opinions on their subjects and Locke just did. He's not the
greatest journo in the world but give the guy a break. Nobody's going to Georgia for work on their own dime.

You're right in the sense that every paper is struggling, but the DJ is nowhere near as dire as most.

I don't understand what his deal is... | #30 | ||

Just report the facts and keep your opinions to yourself. I thought Locke did an excellent job covering high schools for the Daily Journal. He is a good writer
and truthfully deserved the promotion to cover MSU. But continually giving his take on each piece he writes and especially being dead wrong at times makes him
hard to read.

So what are the odds that Brads writing improves after reading this thread? | #31 | ||
|
My guess is he suddenly tries to become a Byrne instead of a Templeton

I'm convinced Locke sucks as a journalist | #32 | ||
|
especially as a beat writer. One of his replies to a comment made on his blog is:
Brad Locke Says:Really, Brad? As someone wrote in his blog comments, objective journalism at its very best. |
||||
|
|

You are correct... | #33 | ||
|
Considering someone mentioned earlier in this thread that Locke is an Auburn homer, I am not surprised he sheepily stated that it would be a moot point.

I'm sure he could care less. His editor probably has the same feelings. |

so its ok for.. | #36 | ||
|
us to bash on State and Stansbury, but its not ok for Locke to bash on us? He's right, we don't deserve 2nd place because we've played like shit
the past 7 games. I know he's a writer for DJ, but the thing is, he didn't write this in his newspaper article. He wrote it in his BLOG. We
don't pay to read the blog and don't have to read it if we dont want to. It's his opinion and he is absolutely correct when he says we don't
deserve 2nd place. Now if he had wrote this in his newpaper article, it would be poor journalism.
