Pretty cool. Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

I believe veteran CBS broadcaster Verne Lundquist took her under his wing. She has made it to the big time. One of the prettiest Bobcats of all time too.

We interviewed her during her 20 minute Uber ride from the airport to her hotel in Toronto. She's a pretty busy woman! She touched on a lot of topics with us: - Her time at Ohio - Speaking at Commencement - Her work at WOUB and how it helped her career - Mentors throughout and after college - Game preparation - The backstory about her interview with LeBron, and how much it meant to her that he stood up for her after all the negative comments about her Popovich question I'm very excited to have her back on Saturday, this interview was a real treat for us! https://soundcloud.com/user-142082617/ep-x-allie-laforce Back to Top OU_Country General User Member Since: 12/6/2005 Location: On the road between Athens and Madison County Post Count: 8,343 Status: Offline     RE: Graduation speaker    Posted: 5/2/2018 3:32:28 PM  jh25 wrote: Gabe Genovesi and I reached out to Allie and were honored to have her on our latest podcast for the athletic department.

EDIT -- I posted initially prior to listening to the whole interview. I came away incredibly impressed with Allie, and became a bigger fan of her work.

It sounds like some felt she blindsided LBJ with the question about the passing of someone he was close to, and she's been criticized for it. In reality, she asked him if it was okay to ask on air before she did so. In other words, it's probably a lot to do about nothing. Typical in 2018, right?

Exactly like OU_Country said, she asked LBJ about Popovich's wife passing with his permission, he said yes, and people didn't know that she had clearance from him to ask that question. She was a true pro about the situation!
