As per Outkick the Coverage, he told Georgia’s SID office in advance that he would not talk to the media on Saturday. He made one exception for Scott Van Pelt apparently, but other than that he talked to NO one from the media, not this woman or anyone else. IMO it’s on Georgia’s SID office for not letting people know that. My hunch is they probably figured he’d get caught up in the excitement of the moment and talk, but he didn’t.And as someone who’s spent literally most of his life in journalism, and a huge chunk of it in sports journalism covering major college sports, it doesn’t bother me a bit that he didn’t want to talk. I never once thought anyone was obligated in any way to talk to me, and if someone didn’t I moved on and made it work a different way, but too many of my brethren in the trade wanted things to always be easy for them. Quote journalism is a pestilence on the trade anyway, IMO, turns reporters into stenographers.


Thank you for the perspective. I didn't know he'd expressed that he didn't want to talk to reporters. It's hard for me to blame the SID. I've know Claude for 40+ years and he's the consummate professional. Maybe the WSB reporter knew and thought Bennett would talk anyway. It was live so there wasn't the opportunity to ask him ahead of time. It just came across as a bad moment during what should have been an upbeat occasion.
I've worked in journalism for 40 years. Although I'm not in sports, I've had occasion to cover the Braves, Falcons, and Bulldogs. I agree that reporters should never assume an athlete will talk to us. It's not their job to make our jobs easier. Sometimes, they decline gracefully. Sometimes, they act like A-holes. I've learned to expect just about anything.

What did he say to “berate” the fans as one guy said. I haven’t had a chance to check it out. I would say it’s probably about how folks wanted him replaced by JT.

This completely explains, why the reporters were staged all over the place , basically ambushing players and coaches. They seemed completely unorganized with no plan.

It also explains why not only Stetson and Coach Monken blew her off , but 95% of all other staff and players as well.

Fans expecting an athlete to give them attention is weird and sad


Athletes wouldn't have jobs if fans didn't exist to support them, so yeah maybe they should show a little fricking respect every once in awhile.

While that may be the case, plenty of "fans" deserve exactly that. Just look at the pages of this forum. So many of us love trashing players anonymously, but damn do we hate it when they return the favor even if they put their name behind it.


Yep. frick em.

How would an Aggie know this? Did you all have a parade for your runner up spot in the NIT last year?

45 year old Stetson is the biggest tool in college football. He has 5* to throw to and hand off to.

He’s a prick.

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. I just need to come to terms with the fact that that’s just your personality (or lack thereof) and accept that you really are just a waste of space.

I know most of you will not understand because the media in your areas give really favorable coverage, that is not true in Atlanta for the Dawgs. The local media get ever so tiresome.

The overwhelming majority of complaints about Bennett (age, NFL prospects, attitude) seem like paper-thin covers for people who actually dislike him because he beat their favorite teams.
