    Given the product on display on the field, I dare say we’ve heard the last grumblings from the coaching staff regarding fan support ????

    Good lord that one comment has been blown out of proportion.

    That one comment was acknowledgment that the team needed the support of the fans and requested that we be there at the start of the 3rd quarter.

    Unfortunately the brutally hot weather was not at all what Doeren was accustom to in Wisconsin and Illinois and his comment was ill-advised without acknowledging that. Regardless it was not grumbling or criticism — which the headline in the paper made it out to be and SFN followed suit. This is not criticism of SFN as I seriously doubt the writer of the SFN article realized he was being lead down the garden path.

    The whole blow-up was the result of a headline written by some bottom feeding EweNC journalism grad. Recent news has me wonder if English Comprehension was a paper class for EweNC grads who end up headline writers. Their job is to sensationalize headlines to entice the reader to read the story. As we and the public is learning truth and honesty is not a high priority at EweNC. Any resemblance of the headline to the actual writing is purely coincidental.

    Next time one of us reads a headline in the Boos & Disturber, we would do well to compare it to the story to see if it is consistent before we form our opinion based on the headline.

    Strong comment to follow. 😉

    Easy, fellas – my point was that fan support – despite recent results – has been strong in Carter-Finley. For that matter, it has been for the 20-something years I’ve been regularly attending games, and I’m not even a Wolfpack alumnus. Guess I should’ve said the comment was tongue-in-cheek… my apologies !

    You’re cool, Prowling Woofie. No apologies needed. I’m the one who overreacted with my headline writer rant. Headline writers are the whores of the newspaper business.

    Grey, I spent a lot of my career writing headlines. Didn’t get paid well enough to be called a whore. More like a skank.

    Nothing like putting you foot in your mouth — repeatedly.

    I feel like the guy who said:
    “There ain’t nothing but whores and football players at eweNC.”
    “I’ll have you know my daughter went to eweNC.”
    “Really what position did she play?”

    So, what position did you play? 😉 Like I said, ‘Headline writers are the whores skanks of the newspaper business.

    All kidding aside, sorry about the offense. Question for you, is it accurate that the job of a headline write is to be sensational enough to cause the reader to stop and read the article? Or am I full of sh!t there too?

    Grey, I wasn’t offended, just amused. 🙂

    Actually, the good headline writers, and what you really should strive for (at least in the old days), accurately encapsulated the meaning of the story in as few words as possible. Yes, you want the reader to read the story, and some stories are so boring that no amount of headline jazzing up can save them. But at least at the places I worked, there wasn’t an effort to sensationalize. Unlike big national publications, local and community paper people lived and worked in those communities and had to face the public they wrote about. That paradigm has almost gone out the window now.

    Now at tabloid papers, mags and the like, sensationalism always has been the “in” thing.

    I didn’t really think you were but still felt the stand-up thing to do was acknowledge my gaff.

    Sensational might not be the most accurate description. Perhaps inflammatory? In the article about Doeren commenting on the need of the team to have the fans behind them at the start of the 3rd quarter, the headline writer — I forget the exact word — changed the tone of Doeren’s statement entirely by using an inflammatory description rather than what the writer wrote and intended. Were I the writer I would have been pissed because they have to ‘live’ with the coaches all season, year after year. Their job gets very difficult when coaches don’t trust them or refuse interviews.

    Like Yogi said, that’s old news. All I’m doing is trying to provide some insight for those who think the headline is part of the article or written by the writer.
