Olson putting out tweets, no picture of Badger coach and bowl trophy. Asking are Wisconsin fans excited about bowl win. Reusse is re-tweeting. That Olson reporter is a total tool on twitter. Cannot even let Gopher fans have a little fun without taking pot shots.

She took a shot at Pitino last week. It's sad and pathetic that some people will do anything to make a name for themselves. Does anyone actually respect sportswriters? I sure don't. They can't write well enough to do news/ write meaningful stuff and can't play sports well enough to be athletes.
 

Who? Like seriously. I have never heard of her/him and frankly don’t care
 




Dude, you're just feeding a troll by placing this nobody-no-talent's name in a thead title. Ignore the ignoramuses.
 

She is quite transparently upset about being embarrassed by PJ at the bowl press conference and will likely grind that axe. Not unlike our little spats in the Gopherhole where poster A chases around poster B for weeks, months, or years after getting their hand swatted. Based on her twitter replies, past articles, derogatory tone at the presser I imagine her to be a testy, probably unhappy person although I could be way off. Perhaps she finds great satisfaction in aspiring to be a professional journalist and is frustrated with her current role.
 

remember George Dohrmann? He was the Pioneer Press reporter who broke the story on the Gopher men's BB academic fraud case. He won the Pulitzer Prize for reporting for his coverage of the story.

message to reporters - break a story on a scandal, advance your career.

If it bleeds, it leads. in other words, scandal and tragedy will always top positive stories.

Does that mean that some reporters may over-reach in going for a story? sure.

Who knows - maybe the Strib staff sits around every day plotting their next negative article about the U of MN. I tend to think that is an exaggeration.
 

I remember her from the Seinfeld soft-porn “Rochelle, Rochelle.”
 




How in the world did the Strib corner the market in horrible "sports" reporters/columnists?

Generalize much? Do you know how many fantastic sports writers there are? Lots. Don't let the ridiculous behavior by a few at the Strib lead you to statements like that.
 

Yes, it was a generalization but but not one made of ignorance. How many fantastic sportswriters has Minneapolis seen in the last 20-30 years?

Sid? Nope. Barrerio? Nope. Myron? Nope. This lady? Nope. Souhan? Nope and he should have been fired for mocking Kill's seizures. Shelman? Nope but he was pretty good but also note he left to write real news. Ruesse? Not for me. He takes the easy route too much. Barreiero? Nope. Doogie? Nice guy but nope.

Enlighten me. Who are the fantastic sports writers I should read if I am a Minnesota sports fan?
 

I’d say Sid was a fantastic sports reporter. He was a one man Minnesota sports internet for a lotta years. He worked tirelessly to uncover interesting nuggets, tips, quotes about local sports. His writing may not have been award winning but his information was. I enjoyed Sid for a lotta years. If he wants to keep working in his 90’s I’ll cut him some slack. I appreciate what Sid has done for me for Minnesota sports.
 


I wish they would pull the press credentials from Star Tribune. Between Souhan, Reusse, and now Rochelle Olson, they are doing much more harm than good. Don't give them credentials for a season and I bet they'll be more reasonable when they get them back.

Use adblock on their site and if you run out of free articles, read them in an incognito window in chrome. If they don't make money they can't keep paying their "writers".

As much as I tend to chide Sid for his grasp of the obvious, I wholeheartedly agree with you.
 

Who? Literally have never heard of her until this thread
 

The big difference that some of the media trolls don't realize, is the difference between where the two programs are right now. Wisconsin was rated, what, like #4 in the preseason? The season was a hug failure for them.

Minnesota on the other hand has some building to do, to get where Wisconsin has been for about two decades. We will take the bowl win as a positive and use it as a stepping stone. PJ calling the team "champions" was a bit much, but oh well. Two years in, and things are looking up. A win against the main (or 2nd) rival was gigantic, and the bowl win is an exclamation point on that win.

There is a name for gals like this. But it is not postable ..

Rochelle is just upset that Fleck is going to run bucky out in back to back years.

I love our chances of working them again next year in TCF

Women..........LMAO

Absolutely Right. Why bother with this trash? Dont buy the strib, dont go to their website.

Sid is a living iconic legend and Minnesota/National sports treasure.
 

Who is this guy Rochelle? Never seen or heard of him before?!

Rochelle smiles when she sees her name posted on Gopherhole. Same for Reusse and Souhan.

Makes their day.
