The show was all that I expected and more. I have seen Rascal Flatts every time they have come to Fresno and each show gets better. They not only covered their chart topping hits but some of their less know songs which the true fan appreciates. They are extremely personal with their fans even to the extent of Gary joining the fans on the arena floor.They travelled between front and the back of the arena via a bridge which is thoughtful.They give all in their performance and the fans love it. It's sad to say that two hours is just not enough for this group.

It was the best Concert that I have seen in Years. I can't wait for next year to come around so I can see them again. They put so much effort and excitiment into their concert and kept it entertaining the whole time. I wish they would have stayed there all night, thats how much fun I was having screaming along with the crowd to every song.

As a middle-aged adult, who went to the concert to appease my teenage niece, and without being familiar with the music of Rascal Flatts, I was entertained, humored, and impressed with the music, lyrics, visuals, and theatrics in the show. With all the negative message music out there, I truly appreciate superstars who perpetuate positive, traditional, American, and Faith values. To boot, they showed support for our military. Toward the end of the show, they brought out a line-up of Marines in full dress that gave me chills. I LOVE IT! You Go Guys....thank you Rascal Flatts.

It was great until Mike Osegueda was brought up about his horrendous reporting skills. Because of his error, they will never come back to Fresno. They pulled a Kobe and said they would rather play on Pluto than come back to the shoddy reporting city of Osegueda. SO get your facts straight.

... and those facts would be??

You know darn well. Your a man, your 40. Don't insult the kids who went to the concert by implying that if they are not singers than they have a worse job than someone who is. I am glad you got called out on this. Too many instances have happened. So get your facts straight. Makes me want to puke.

Don't insult the people who know the difference between your and you're.

So a blog's comments are supposed to be proof read and spell checked before posting a comment? What school did you learn that from? Do text messages need to be written with a dictionary and thesauras next to you also? Seems if you took your own advice, the mistake you made wouldn't have occured. I don't get paid to write really important blog comments. You actually get paid to write and you made the mistake and made a fool of yourself to a celebrity as well as the entire circulation of the paper/internet. Good job. You must be proud.

Do what you like -- but I think it proves a point that people make mistakes. It happens. It's life. Whether you're a reporter at a newspaper, a commenter on a blog, a professional athlete, an elected official, etc.

I owned up to my mistake. Why don't you own up to your identity?

William Randolph Hearst is rolling over in his grave right now. My name is posted on the comments blog-illiterate.

Uh-huh.

This blog must be written by a man who doesn't have a child. All your readers do are buy your newspapers, read your articles, read your blog and we don't deserve to be treated this way. If you have a child one day maybe you will understand. You don't downgrade your readers who do read the whole newspaper, and then maybe a critical of a mistake. That's why I don't read the newspaper, because they're garbage. Attacking high school students because they may not be vocally superior. Are you kidding me? Don't come after a child who does everything right, but may not have the voice of an angel. So get your facts straight. Who's the kid here?

I have a question for Mike Gundy and "Awful": Can either of you honestly say that you have never made a mistake in your job? Not one time have you dropped a decimal place, screwed up an important letter, made an idiot of yourself in a meeting, forgotten an appointment, messed up on a repair, given a wrong answer to a customer or in general just had a brain fart? I'd guess that Mike Oz deals in literally thousands of details a day -- from dates, locations, times, quotes, trivia, facts -- and is accurate 99.99% of the time. Everyone screws up, including doctors, airline pilots and waitresses. To demand infallibility from a fellow human being -- particularly when that person is willing to own up to his mistake -- is counterproductive, tedious and unsophisticated.

"Who's the kid here?"

My vote is for the one throwing a temper tantrum on a blog about Rascal Flatts. Makes me want to puke!

Dude and dudette, get real do you even know who Mike Gundy is? It is a joke, Mr. and Mrs. Serious Samuelson. It is ok to laugh and post funny comments in a blog. It is a blog, not a presidential address to the nation. Get a clue. And while you're (for you OZ) at it, learn to laugh once in a while.

WTF?? The Oklahoma St football coach is up in heere??

Mike Oz got haters in different area codes ...

gosh, who is that "Mike Gundy" with his oh-so-funny comments? seriously..... insulting a person is funny? that's news to me..... :-S

by the way, i doubt the mistake was intentional. as i recall, the person being interviewed said "better" in a sentence afterward, and sometimes (at least, this happens to me) transcribing interviews or even writing articles/essays/whatnot, my thought process gets ahead of myself and i type in the wrong word. heck, in one of our newspaper articles, we almost published a quote from the vice principal (whose name was Pagani and who was talking about how students were doing on tests) as ' Pagan said, "We want to see how our students are doping."' Yes, Pagan, and doping. and it's not some intentional thing. no, we don't think he's a pagan.

On September 22, 2007, Mike Gundy made comments that became the subject of a nationwide media controversy. Following his team's victory over the Texas Tech Red Raiders, Gundy refused to discuss or answer any questions about the game. Instead, he said he wanted to talk about a newspaper article that had appeared that day. The article was critical of one of Gundy's players and Gundy launched into what ESPN called a "tirade" against the journalist who wrote the story.[2][3] Video clips of the coach, at times screaming, were quickly downloaded more than 75,000 times from video streaming sites such as YouTube,[8][9][10] where it became one of the ten most-downloaded clips of the day.[11] Jenni Carlson of The Oklahoman wrote the original article discussing Bobby Reid, the former starting quarterback, and reasons why he may have been demoted to second-string. The OSU coaching staff publicly supported Reid earlier in the year but then demoted him with no explanation of the change.[12] The article was titled "Reid is still the most talented signal-caller, but attitude is reason for change".[13] Carlson said that Reid was still the most talented quarterback on the team but that he got "nicked in some games and sat it out instead of gutting it out."[8]

In his post-game speech to the media, Gundy called three-fourths of Carlson's column "fiction". During his weekly news conference the following Monday, Carlson asked the coach to point out what he thought were factual errors in the article and Gundy replied, "I don't have to."[8] Carlson replied that she can't report errors to the paper unless she knows what they are.[14] Gundy said, "I don't have to. I'd rather just let it go."[8][14] Gundy was asked two more times by reporters from other papers and still declined to explain which parts of the article were incorrect.[11][15] He said that his only regrets concerning his post-game statements were that he wished he had said more and been better prepared. Gundy went as far as saying that when Carlson becomes a mother someday she will then realize how difficult it is to console a child who has been ridiculed because he dropped a pass or because someone called him fat.[11] Gundy called the 21-year old Reid a "good kid" who does things right and is undeserving of such criticism.[11] He also made the now famous quote, "Come after me! I'm a man! I'm 40!" during the rant, for which he is often imitated. Reid's mother says that the story was malicious and untrue.[16] She pointed to one thing in the article that she said was untrue; she said she did not feed her son chicken from a box meal after the team's loss to Troy University.[17]

In a column the following Tuesday, Carlson wrote that she also would like to let it go, had Gundy not questioned her credibility. She wrote, "I will not stand on the sidelines and allow someone to attack my credibility."[8] She challenged Gundy to point out even one statement from the article that was not factually correct.[8] The Oklahoman sports editor, Mike Sherman, also stood by the story.[18] Mike Griffith, president of the Football Writers Association of America, called Gundy's behavior "completely inappropriate".[8] CBS Sportsline's Dennis Dodd went further saying, "Mike Gundy needs to be reprimanded, definitely suspended, probably fined and maybe fired.[19] OSU athletic director Mike Holder stood behind Gundy, saying that "nothing is more important to us than our student-athletes."[11] College football coaches were divided in their opinions. Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh said, "I feel like the coach at Oklahoma State summed it up very well. I’m in agreement with him."[20] However, Oregon State coach Mike Riley said that dealing with both criticism and praise is just part of a player’s learning experience. Riley said, "They’re young men, but I think college is all about growth and development. The scrutiny part of it is part of our life, and they have to be educated about that."[20]

The episode generated discussion about what constitutes fair criticism for players that welcome the adulation of the press when things are going well for them.[12][18][19][21][10][15] In Gundy's criticism of Carlson, he said that she would have never written the piece if she were a parent like himself. There are some concerns that the remarks constituted a form of sexism and about whether Gundy would have launched a similar attack on a male sportswriter.[12][21][22][11] The Association for Women in Sports Media said that Gundy handled the situation in an "unprofessional manner."[8] Football fans were divided on the issue. Some thought that Carlson's story was unfair and that Gundy did the right thing in sticking up for his player. Others thought that Carlson had a right to run the story and that Gundy over-reacted.[23]

Mike Oz, you've hit the big time. You have internet stalkers (or maybe it's just one guy with a lot of time on his hands). Don't you guys have a journalism class to run off to?

jounalistgt: Do you really think anyone cares about your story of stupidity? In case anyone here hasn't ever posted comments on a blog, they are supposed to be funny or thought provoking. That is what a blog's commwents are for. Maybe if the majority of posters weren't born in the era of using a typewriter they would understand about how to comment on a blog and start a discussion. Which I did as this one post has more than about 10 other posts combined.
