I wonder if his employment contract prohibits him from writing anything negative about the (Land Sharks?) TSUN?

Sure beats Flounder Kellenburger. Has he announced where he is employed now?

Ron Higgins is a seasoned pro and he will be a much welcomed addition to the CL. He wasn't let go for professional reasons but simply because the Times Picayune has been reduced to giving their papers away and that is not a good business model. This is very exciting news. It's easy to dog-talk the CL because of their seemingly endless shoddy reporting and poor editing but this is a home run ( I thought using a sports metaphor would be appropriate). I can't wait to read his columns.

He’ll enjoy covering the leg humpers, cause they gonna win champiionships (a long time plan that extended throughout the Mullens years but was never quite realized except when they won that Belk championship).

Anyone is better than that sad loser Hugh Kellenberger.

Higgins will be well placed as a front row observer when the NCAA returns, yet again, to the epicenter of college football's Cost Nostra, Oxford. And he won't have to wait long.

His son is a leg humper and played at Dawg U.

Will he be there in time to cover State's loss to Kansas State?

I would just appreciate reporting about something the next day not 3 days later and some reporter out of Nashville just copying a USA Today article.

Who still reads the CL?

Once he figures out he can't find a decent bowl of gumbo or red beans, he will beg his way back to S.Louisiana. His writing will probably suck because of it too.

Will he be doing the wall-punching commercials for the Hand Center and Docktur Konoskies Hair Implants?

A good man and sports writer. I just hope for him it last, the C-L is sinking faster then the T-P.

spent many years of his career in Memphis at Comm. Appeal.

Poor guy will sure go hungry trying to find anything worth eating compared to NO.

I won’t read him unless he talks about the obvious moral superiority of the Miss State fan base.

He's a fine writer/editor. Just hope that the C-L bean counters will give him enough expense money to get out of the office and actually cover sporting events. Maybe even pay mileage.

He has the reputation of being a LSU homer. Also, will he write about the NCAA snooping around Starkville now?

"He has the reputation of being a LSU homer. Also, will he write about the NCAA snooping around Starkville now?"

The School of Last Academic Resort will surely suffer now that Fat Burger has left the building.

Unfortunately, Higgin's hire won't be much of an improvement if any at all.

His son played for the Mistake bullfrauds and his writing bias was obvious against Ole Miss while his son played for that team in "the town that fun forgot".

I'm so glad that our family trashed our annual subscription to that rag known as the Clarion-Liar more than 8 years ago. Wife got mad because she lost her daily crossword puzzle. It's amazing how much less a wonderful book of crossword puzzles costs in comparison to the mostly "USA Today" filler that monopolizes the CL paper today.

Pleased that I won't be reading his drivel and that I got ahead of this hire with my cancellation of that garbage of a paper.

Odd that you don't read the paper, cancelled your sub 8 years ago and yet, yet, yet you are current with the mix of content, or lack thereof?

To those(or that one person posting multiple times) that he is a Bulldog fan, thatll be a breath of fresh air from Flounder. He was undoubtedly a Reb/Bear/Landshark and it showed. Bad thing is, most of us scrapped our subscriptions a while back when the CL refused to report on the truth. Guess we are the flagship in that regard. Praise the Lord and go Dogs!

Wish he or someone of his caliber would take over as editor in place of Sam R. Hall.
And September 6, 2018 at 6:47 PM, while no city compares to N.O. in the dining department, if you'll step out of your basement, you'll find that there are incredible restaurants in the Jackson metro.

Don't know how he could have be an lsu homer while in N/O. Who else would you write about? One of the several second/third tier schools or Tulane? Does anybody from La go to Tulane? Most students are from the NE or Latin America. Not football fans.

I hope he can keep the baseball box scores current. It is sad to see the C-L print Tuesday's box scores on Thursday or Friday.
The C-L also shows games that end at 4:00pm as late games therefor no reporting until 2 days after the game is over. Goes for football, too unless it is Old Myth and even then it is iffy.
The C-L sports pages cannot get any worse.
As for editing and proper grammatical usage at the C-L, forget it.
Their staff never passed English composition in middle school. Subject/verb complement is sorely missing.
It pains me to see such elementary errors in what used to be journalism.
The C-L sucks in all cases. It is on its death bed. Higgins should rent for the short term and look elsewhere immediately.

Perhaps someone will be assigned to cover the Mississippi Braves.
Wait! That is way too much to expect from the C-L. Excuse me.

Hopefully he knows how to cook otherwise he is going to strave

GIVE THE GUY A BREAK! Anybody/anything would be better then Kellenberger. Hopefully, Mitchell will be next.

I am old enough to remember when CL covered events all over the state, news and sports. Hopefully this guy will find that there is sporting events outside of the 2 SEC schools. M Braves receive no coverage. The smaller schools revive very little coverage as welll as Southern Miss , Delta State. Used to have Friday night football stories and scores on Saturday morning.

All I want is for the newspaper to tell all of the news.

I'm bumping this because Ron Higgins has left the Clarion Ledger. He didn't last long. Anybody know what happened?
