I guess in fairness to the coaches and teams - which news sources do you spend time with and which news sources do you not spend time with?
For example - before TV - all it probably was - was one newspaper reporter. They probably begged to get interviewed J Along came TV and then it was newspaper and tv reporters. Then radio reporters. (or I guess radio came before TV). Now with the internet - everyone thinks they are a reporter. So how and where do you draw the line on who you grant access to? I think instead of making that decision - they cut out everybody.

I've heard the reason is that then they won't have to answer questions from fans, reporters, and mommies and daddies of players about the coaches decisions to play one player and not another, and other coaches decisions. Then again - they won't talk to us - so we have no real clue what the true reason is From: gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatort...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of John Vega Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 10:57 AM To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Subject: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] Gatornews from Miami Herald and Palm Beach Post courtesy of JunoGator On Aug 3, 2010, at 8:36 AM, Juno Gator wrote: Florida said closing off practices is common and is done at Florida State, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame and Oklahoma. So? I hate doublespeak. It doesn't matter what FSU does or doesn't do. Heck, I'm inclined to do the opposite. Either say "we closed practice because ..." and give a decent reason, or don't close them. -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
