You've got to at least give me some analysis or reason to click a link you post.  Talk about lazy marketing, even the MU Facebook account tries harder!

[Stuckin1977]

Wow, Skat's got it in for this guy

Wow, Skat's got it in for this guy

Look at his posts.  It's always just blogspam without any actual effort put into posting.  You'd think he'd take some pride in his work.

What more is there to say though? Don't you read that and think, oh I better get on getting tickets if I want to go...I bet this link has more info....or am I missing some hidden agenda?

[RoneyEford13]

I apologize for thinking you might be interested in any information regarding the team from it's official website, which I guess you call "spam."

Next time I will make sure to question Buzz's play calling and/or complain about something completely random and then include the link in an effort to create more traffic.

If you reference Tom Crean that seems to get everyone's attention.  Something like - -"Crean not invited but a few tickets remain..."

It's obviously that you put very little effort into your job.  Posting a title and a link to, especially when it's a link to the same site every. time. you. post. is the laziest form of advertising that anyone can take part in.  You're simply trying to drive traffic to gomarquette dot com, and that's obvious.

You offer no explanation of why anyone should care.  You offer no explanation of what the men's hoops banquet is.  You've added absolutely nothing except for linking to a site that everybody is already aware of.

Crack jokes if you want.  You're still promoting something like the Postseason Banquet, celebrating Buzz and our outgoing Seniors taking MU to the Sweet 16, the laziest way possible.  It's just disappointing that I've already put significantly more effort into this than you have.

I believe that in the message board world, this would be what you call "owning" someone. Bravo, Ska.

Close but I think the kids call it: "pwning"

[Blackhat]

the smell of vag is in the air.  someone's ovulating.  

let the kid promote a great MU event, the $50 banquet dinner, get drunk, throw bows with some stale azz big wigs for a night...tag the wifey if you get real drunk.

[mu_hilltopper]

let the kid promote a great MU event..

He's not a kid.  He's Scott Kuykendall, Assoc. AD at Marquette.

To Skatastrophy's point, we've tried to engage Scott and ask him to do more than just bomb us with links, and instead, participate in some capacity, like an "Ask the AD" thread. 

Unfortunately, no luck there.

[Blackhat]

oh....just assumed GoMU spamming was the job of first year's earning their beer money.

Gee, after the way he was treated in this thread, I can only wonder why he wouldn't jump at the opportunity.

I thought the athletic department was embarrassed by this forum?

[Coleman]

Scott, next time you even think about posting a link, you better have a haiku with it.

[GGGG]

And I see he is in charge of "media relations."  

I'm sorry, but Ska is right.  It is seriously embarrassing for the guy in charge of media relations to promote an event with so little lead.

I'm sure they are but they know some good fans actually read this board.

[ChicosBailBonds]

I'm sure they are but they know some good fans actually read this board.

I'd love to know how they define good fans. 

[reinko]

Ones that don't need 5 years to judge a Head Coach. 

[babytownfrolics]

I'd love to know how they define good fans. 

Ones that don't traffic in negative rumors and speculation?

All kidding aside, this is a pretty defensive response for someone who is supposed to be in media relations. I mean come on, I'm sure you've taken a least a couple of PR classes, right?

[RoneyEford13]

I appreciate the interest in my posting techniques and can only hope that the amount of views to this thread has at least resulted in a few registrations for our upcoming banquet, which was the original point to begin with, even if it was lazy (space really is limited and the deadline rapidly approaching, which I thought the subject clarified).  It will be a great night and include video appearances by several former Golden Eagles.

I would take issue with the fact that RoneyEford13 bombs this site, since based on official statistics provided we have posted 101 times since October of 2009, or .183 times per day.  I also find it interesting that on a site filled with those utilizing a screen name, that my real "identity" was so casually offered to the board.  Even the infrequent observer would be able to tell it was someone in athletics, so it's really not that big of a deal to me.  I can only hope that trend will continue with the All-American level posters on this board that I enjoy reading on a daily basis.  Feel free to introduce yourselves at the banquet on April 13 (limited space remains for this event, FYI).

As for any additional links besides those from the GoMarquette.com feed already established, I will allow you to not have to worry about the burden of the .183 posts per day from now on and won't be posting factual and relavent men's basketball  information to this site.  RoneyEford13 is officially dead (on this board at least).  Have a good night.

Holy crap. Even more embarrassing. I oversee a university marketing department and if my media relations guy acted like this it would certainly result in a "teachable moment."

Seriously ska made a very good point that you would have wise to consider instead of acting so defensive.
