Mike Bianchi's Amateur Hour

Mike Bianchi is a sports columnist / blogger at the Orlando Sentinel. After UCF’s dominance of Marshall last night Bianchi posted some harsh words on his “Open Mike” blog about the Herd. I have posted a link to his post below (1).

His story does not bother me, needles to say UCF has dominated Marshall in football since joining C-USA and the Donnie Jones situation is still an open wound. What bothers me is Bianchi heading over to HerdNation.com and posting a link to his story. I have include a link to the post below (2). Why is a serious (and I use the term loosely) journalist like Bianchi posting his garbage on a message board? In my book that is a pretty cheap way to increase hits for your website. I get posting something like that on a UCF message board but Bianchi’s attempt to stir the pot on HerdNation screams of armateur hour. My advice to Bianchi is keep off message boards and stick to what he does best, writing children’s books about University of Florida athletics: http://www.amazon.com/Gator-Alphabet-ABC-Marisol-Novak/dp/1582614032/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1287063259&sr=1-1
