The only thing they had was a chart with all the bowls listed. Newspapers are becoming extinct.

If you want to read Ohio University coverage you just have to learn the rules, 1. OSU sports always come first. 2. Ad revenue comes second (See no.1) 3. Upcoming Big TelevEN opponent is always third 4. Blue Jackets come next (1 day before and after a game only) 5. high school sports - All but especially Satch Sullinger, CCL and Dublin 6.  Browns, Reds, Indians, Bengals, Steelers (and Cavs, if they must) 7. Deer hunting 8. Ohio Bobcats 9. Tiddly Winks 10.  All other Ohio colleges. That's it.  Adjust your expectations accordingly and you will never be disappointed. In all honesty, I applaud the Dispatch for any coverage of Ohio sports.  As was mentioned earlier, newspapers are dying.  It's like being named in your uncle's will.  The day that the Taylor team of dealerships starts paying for the "OU Weekly Athlete Spotlight", I'm sure things will improve.

If there's any sort of controversial event, the Dispatch will be there in minutes to get the word out.

I asked if he expected to give Ohio additional coverage due to this high profile hiring. His comments to my question did get printed in the Sunday edition where they have the letters to the editor section. His answer was, as most are, a very flipit type response. I would think that prior to the game on the 18th they will run at least 1 article, probably should run several about the team and about the game. I wouldn't expect a 10 page, pull out, insert like they will have for the Buckeyes but somehing more appropriate. If we come out winning then all the success since Franks arrival would have all the makings of a great follow up story for the next week.

Same reason that I don't listen to 610 A.M.   610 A.M. with old 9-3 earl bruce really puts OU and all of the MAC teams down big time.    bruce refers to us as the sisters of the poor.  when osu played us and Eastern Michigan he said that osu should just send us a welfare check.  Last Edited: 12/7/2010 7:38:15 PM by Ohio Alum84 Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 12  of 12 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 222 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 222 Guests 0 Registered Users There are no other users looking at this page.
