Schnellenberger to Open Sports Restaurant on 20th Street

Post

yeah, he seems to have it out for AD Chun. One thing i do have to agree, our music for the stadium does need some updating but other than that, dont agree him.

Chuck, at Owl Access, has his fact in place before he reports something. "Ripping"" the AD for not answering questions is not "ripping". It is telling like it is. Far from pathetic. Actually quite informative.

it is the AD's prerogative not to answer questions, nor is it the prerogative of the athletic department to answer any questions. That being said, he was behind the 8 ball when it came out about the restaurant being open. Rick broke it first.

The question was simple.FAU went to the media and boasted about a 150% increase in sales. I'm no genius and I know how easy it is to make a statistical statement, that is true, to make yourself look wonderful. Chuck simply asked about the numbers. Once Chun balked, I knew why. Does he need to answer. I don't know. But if the numbers were fantastic, he would have given then. Bottom line is, it isn't that important. The fact that there is an increase is great. We should increase every year. But don't make a statement to any media site and not anticipate a question or two. jmho

This. My point was the other site never gives credit where credit is due and  it seems to have alienated a lot of sources, both within the university and out of the university because of what seems like bias reporting and "piggybacking" off of this site. Almost every relevant story on FAU athletics I see in the Nest before I see on that site without credit being given. That is not fair and honest reporting. It's just a guy who reads this site and copy and pastes it onto his.

I also do not understand the constant bashing of our AD on that site. Although FAU is a public university, matters of athletics/ticket sales are not considered compelling enough reasons to force the  university to provide said information at the request of one disgruntled, bias reporter. That is pathetic.

The other site is now reporting about the restaurant without crediting this site. Shocking.

The other site has also been ripping the Athletic Department pretty hard the past few days for what seems to be a personal vendetta. How pathetic.

Exactly. That was the point I was trying to make. AD Chun can answer questions or not answer questions. The same thing with the staff. They just reported about the numbers being higher than previous since the stadium opened that is all. The other site want to compare numbers, well the athletic department doesnt have to give the numbers if they dont want to. And you are right lawowl, he seems to get alot of information from us then break it himself without credit. At least when we do it, we try to give the credit where the credit is due.

Schnelly's plans were very well known. I think Chuck  just took his time to go into a little more detail. He gave more info. Not only do I not find Owl Access pathetic, until they report it, I consider it rumor. As far as the questions for Chun, if the PBP os SS had run the same story , it would have been fine. Chun set himself up by not answering. jmho

You must work for them. If Schnelly's plans were very well known they would have been reported by now… Chuck took as much time as you'd expect if someone looked at a story on this website, contacted coach for more details and posted their story.

Really ? I don't work for anyone. I just like Chuck and the work he does. By the way , Chuck would be a damn fool not to monitor other sites. You will learn that when you get a job.
