Headline: BY writes story, Jacobs boots spelling test

[SixRings]

The entire column is a collection of BY threads of the past 24 hrs. WTF? Does he, or anyone, at HC check grammar before sending out.

To be honest, I thought it was a good read. I always spell check my posts and I'm aware that some on here don't, but reading the article, without really looking, I didn't see one misspelled word.

I don't think grammer is all that impotent on a message bored, but you are right, he should be checking before he prints our ideas.

Well played humor, but were Jacobs' comments on the hiring process and timing accurate? In particular, is it obvious Narduzzi was offered as Jacobs suggests? Or, did the former just realize things were not going to move forward with UCONN?

Why are people so sensitive with Jeff Jacobs columns. He doesn't wear blue glass all the time, so what? His opinion pieces are normally very good and some of the better reads on UConn Football. I guess my biggest problem with all the Jacob's haters on here is this:

Why shouldn't he read this messege board? This is THE place for all of us diehards, correct? Wouldn't you say he gets the pulse of the program better from us then from anywhere else? Would you like him to hang out in West Hartford Center and see what people think of UConn Football. I'm sorry, I just don't see why people get so upset with him "stealing" stuff from the Boneyard? Where else should he look for how the fans feel?

meh...it was a good read considering most of the people reading it do not follow him on Twitter. It will be refreshing to them. For us it is funny to see him sew together his tweets.

He had more grammatical errors than spelling errors. They have all been edited now. One I recall is that he wanted to "check back in December of 2013". Obviously he meant 2018. Anyway, I am not a Jacobs hater but don't like when any professional does not pay attention to their job. It is the editors in this case and not so much Jacobs. I'm not a overly concerned but as a writer you can't let English slip too far.
I thought it was a decent read but it felt sort of like I was reading a bootlegging of many of these peeps ideas – like he really didn’t feel that way but read about it and reprinted. Usually he writes more genuine. c%d b dat mAbE he wz n a hurry & had 2 go.

I am not a big JJ fan for a lot reasons, but I had no problem with this column.

Great article.

Not a fan of JJ, but he usually gets the down-low dirty info and inside scoop -- during the last couple of years w/ conference realignment he's been the only CT guy going to try to dig up what happened... wish he he would try to dig again to see what he can stir up with FOIA, etc.

But most of his sh * t is anti-UConn and anti-Calhoun, so for that, f em.
