Huge loss for the program

[Hold My Beer]

I'd like to think my criticism played a small part in her retirement.

 

[BoxingRobes]

Good for her. Hope she's a happy, loved person.

As long as they stick out!

Ehh I never understood the massive hard on for her. She's not the best sports reporter around but not many in S Florida have been good. Ethan Skolnick is good so he started his own empire.

First time in recorded history (Susan Miller Degnan) and "hard on" have been seen in the same paragraph.

She sucked at her job but she’s got cats so she’s alright in my book. As long as @ErickMarreroU doesnt take her job then it’s all good. **** that little prick.

 

[Geddy Lee]

Alright little man. Hope your Panthers don’t win a playoff series this year.

How will we ever know who is on the stationery bike at practice???

I hope to God that's her going away gift.

Luv me some SMD.

Folks can say what they want about her but she never bad-mouthed the program, never bad-mouthed any of the players or threw anyone under the bus. She was a fluff reporter and stayed in her lane for decades. She will be missed.

The the thing about SMD is that her goofy questions allowed coaches to come off as human. The comedic relief had its place. I always said my biggest regret with UM not hiring Mike Leach is that we would have been truly blessed as fans to be able to have the combination of SMD questions and Mike Leach answers. Sadly, now they're both gone.

Regardless of SMD's question, I can hear Mike Leach right now...

"Susan, it's obvious you have never been on a pirate ship."

You know what? I’ll miss her a little bit. All and all, she was a fan of the program and that seems to be rare for our beat writers.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out..

[the storm]

say what you want, but 39 years at one job/profession, especially one that has nearly died, is awesome.

good for her. everybody should get the chance to retire.

Agree. Best wishes to Susan. Anyone who works for the Herald rag for 39 years should get a gold medal.
