Matty V off MU Beat

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Sad day for MU fans. Matty V gets the Bucks beat gig. Good for him - he certainly deserves it, but definitely sad to see him go.

[LloydsLegs]

Crap.  Matt will be missed.  Here's to getting another talented, engaged and ambitious writer.  While I don't want MU to be a stepping stone for coaches, I don't mind it for really good beat reporters.

[DJO's Jaw]

If we get a beat writer half as good as him for a replacement, I'll be ecstatic.

Terrific writer and happy for his promotion. Congrats!

Shucks.

I hear MU82 is out of work and has some experience.

Go Nads!

ChiTown!  Come home brother!

[MU82]

Shucks.

They couldn't afford me.

Matt worked hard and did a nice job. While others hope for somebody who is just as productive, I have a lower bar - I'm just hoping he will be replaced by more than a freelancer. That's the way the industry is going.

That's scary, not funny

Hairy situation, ai na?

They must pay $8/hr not $9/hr if that's true, heyner?

[naginiF]

It stinks to lose Matt but good for him.

On the plus side this means he can now openly post on Scoop, right Matt?

I chuckled.

Maybe Smuggles McHeisy should go for the job. He always insisted he could be a far better MU hoops reporter than Matt, anyway.

What content could he steal and then add, "Thoughts?" or, "Do you agree?" at the end to, if MU does not have a beat writer of its own?

Plus, he's only semi-retired.

He is still around.  He posts in a Facebook page about Milwaukee history that I follow.

Good for him. What part-timer with no benefits working 37.5 hours per week is the JS going to assign to the Marquette basketball beat?

Matt V was a great reporter and will do well in Journalism. Given. the JS pay and journalism pay generally, he'll also be bagging groceries at Pick-and-Save and giving blood twice a month.

Well years ago the Cubs had a "College of Coaches."

Never once did I suggest this. I suggested that he had no value because he is a journalist and they by their nature have no value. 

Pick any kid from the MU journalism school that can spell basketball and give them a free internship covering MUBB and you will notice not much has changed.

Better, just pay Paint Touches to repost their stuff on their website.

I heard Matty V is long on Apple after buying at 90.  Stock pickers no matta.
