really bratty and arrogant behavior. He wanted Whit to make a statement and clear himself, but ONLY if it went through him. Nice.

I don't know Tom Davis, but he seems like a big doofus.

He went to Yorktown and I believe swam at Butler True. In fact he was a classmate of mine at Yorktown. I've known him since he was about six years old. The guy I knew however is not the self absorbed jackass who is writing that crap on twitter. |

I wonder if the editors of the News-Sentinel are aware that Tom Davis decides on content to put in their paper based on the wonderful "kindness of his heart", and then decides what to omit based on his hurt feelings and childish vindictiveness.

Davis thinking he would get priority over the Starpress is crazy. He obviously thinks he has great influence in FW. But, what this influence in FW MIGHT provide can't be as important as the local support of the Star Press. Does he really think the AD, Prez, BOT, Muncie supporters would somehow understand Whitford bypassing the local press to favor him? Does he think he deserves equal priority even? That Whitford didn't respond initially to his requests for comment is totally understandable. Ft Wayne is reasonably important as a market for us, the city does have BSU supporters and alumni. Still Davis is hardly the guy who makes such difference, despite his own high opinion of himself, and what this slur against Whitford shows is he is clearly a fickle supporter at best. Why he thinks this is about him, or ought to be, I have no clue. Whitford has responded to the reports, used the outlet you would expect him to use. Plus, by taking the natural route of talking to the local press, The Star Press, that article immediately becomes available to The Indianapolis Star, which has a much bigger market than FW ... if the objective somewhere is to reach more people with whatever you have to say. |

I was going to post about this earlier this week. He tried to get a comment from Whitford about the Sean Miller situation and Ball State basically said "thanks for your concern, but we don't want to make a story where there isn't one." He also said Whitford refused to comment about Miller. Things we now know Shitbird sucks at: 1) Conditioning 2) Learning from past mistakes 3) Recruiting post players 4) Addressing a potentially toxic situation like a professional Alas...the Shitbird era marches on. The joys of being a Ball State fan, watching your two main revenue sports run by newbies having to learn the ropes of their professions and sucking out loud at them... grow up |

In case you guys missed this... Davis had more follow up tweets
Was told by @ballstatesports I was sesationalizing the story re: James Whitford's ties to Arizona mbb in wake of its scandal. 5 days later @thestarpress and @indystarsports writes on the topic.
I need to stop even asking or dealing w/ college admin/coaches and just do what the %$#& I want. I keep getting screwed over by them when I listen to them.

What a tool holster. He WAS sensationalizing the story with that whole line of “you might be guilty so talk to me and I’ll clear you” ish.

Whit is not going to make a statement until he he knows for sure what he is going to say. Had Davis waited a few days he might have been given a statement. Instead he as usual assed out and whined.. Glad O Gara got the statement before him not to mention Davis had not even mentioned us in a couple months

Glad O Gara got the statement before him not to mention Davis had not even mentioned us in a couple months For real. Much safer for Whitford to wait until he knows more information to make accurate statements about the situation. Tom acts like we are supposed to give him everything he wants whenever he needs it. He acts like he has so much access to BSU sports, but no one could care less. Even his Butler Bulldogs don't give him the time of day. Must suck |

Must suck I asked him after he switched roles at the paper if someone new would be handling Ball State. He said no he would still be covering BSU but not to expect much of anything because no one cared about or read the BSU articles. He seems now too only want to write about BSU when he has chance to smear or get clicks from a tragic story(Hollywood) |

Emergency run needed for Tom Davis.
I imagine he is right about people not reading and not caring about the BSU articles. But he doesn't have to be such a whiney baby about it. |
