AB reader “Scotty” and myself both wrote Scott Barnes an email inuring how SEC umpire (Greg Street) was allowed behind the dish in an OSU/LSU game. I also asked about the Luke situation. Barnes didn’t reply to Scotty at all; when he replied to me, it was an accidental response meant for someone else.

Um for the 3rd time we discussed 3:45 that makes us 15 to 20 min late . It starts at 5pm and takes 1:30 to get there.

Who talks like this? “Um”?…”for the 3rd time”?

Sounds like an abusive personality at worst and at best a total douche whistle.

I wrote him back:

Um, I think you responded to the wrong person/email.

Is this how you talk to the people you know, Scott?

It is very rude.

His response is catty once again.

Ab

My email below was obviously not intended for you.

Meanwhile, he never addressed the actual email I sent him with legitimate questions.

So, fuck this guy. Can we get a new AD?

Much of the drama is fading, which is good for the Beavs. But much of the outrage is fading as well. Fans can only stay indignant for so long before moving on with life, and ESPN et al know this and bank on it.

So here we are, discussing general topics instead of specific, indignant topics (though, feel free to harp on these as well).
