Doug Gottlieb (yes another thread)

[OburgCuse]

He plays both sides. He may have said that but also picked KSU yesterday on one of the shows. Did you like others also miss things he said last week? Those facts were posted here. He has am agenda.

Yeah definitely agree that he has an agenda. Not sure if you follow him on twitter or not but he was blowing it up early in game on how our zone was playing "soft", k state "carving up zone", etc then when we made our run he doesn't hardly say anything at all and was completely silent the whole second half until he retweeted something from andy glockner (sports illustrated) saying how it would be diff game w/ samuels and if McGruder was 100%. I'm assuming it has gotten to the point now that so many SU fans talk to him on twitter that he just wants to shut them up and hopes they lose so he can gloat a little more.

Glockner has also been pretty negative about us lately and I'm assuming Jb is aware of it because he was real short w/ his answer to glockner's question in the presser. He asked about forward rotation Fair, Jsouth and JB just gave him a 1 word answer about no changes and stared. lol

Doug plays a character that agitates people. However, he knows his stuff (especially since he gives betting reco's). That character fits in certain programs and narratives and not in others.

That's the problem he doesn't know his stuff. He is a good speaker but his knowledge of the game is not very high, which is what irritates people the most.

He was on espn before the cuse game yesterday and was extremely fair in his preview of the Cuse game. And even closed that it could end up being a very long day for kstate. He is very opinionated but he's not 1 sided like many believe.

When he decides to break down basketball x's and o's, he's very good. The problem is, he says things to get a reaction that he doesn't actually believe, and says things for an agenda that he doesn't actually believe. He's admitted to this before. He told someone on TheScore1260 when they asked him "you can say Syracuse hasn't played a top 10 team, but you can't say they haven't played anyone. That's just not right." His response? "Well that was on TV, you know how that goes."
