If anybody follows Teddy Feinberg's blog closely, you'll have seen a couple of comments of grave concern regarding the Herb Pope saga. (If you aren't familiar with the story ... where you been?)
The first one states:
Anonymous said... So I hear Pope is leaving L.C. He is fed up with waiting and he no longer has an interest in playing for Mr. Menzies...An innocuous statement coming from anonymous, but Feinberg (or was it Jason Groves) gives this comment some validity. By stating this:
I honestly don't think Herb is going to play here. I've heard different rumors, nothing concrete. I just think that the system should not work this way and that something isn't right. I know that's not what Aggie fans want to hear, but you're just getting my gut feeling, nothing more, nothing less. Sorry....The statement is vague, and relies on "gut feeling". But if that is what we should base it on, why not talk more about the rumors? I understand the ethics behind journalism, and how explicitly stating such comments, without anything "concrete", would be shoddy work.
That's reasonable.
However, he implies numerous sources by using the phrase "different rumors".
That's troubling, despite the consistency of the cement. The very fact he states this publicly, should be the greatest cause for concern.
Woe is NMSU.

Can't say I would blame Herb for picking up and moving on- especially if he's as dank as the hype imposes.
I keep waiting for this school to get some consistancy that we could possibly build a worthy tradition out of. My thanks to those who are dedicated to the same goal.
