So watching TBS NCAA after program....
- Thread starter brett108
- Start date
Wedged it in at the wire.... Still the 20 minute commercial break.... Yikes. I hope they don't do this during the finals.
This is the kind of mistake that will keep you from moving up the Brett rankings. Bret44 doesn't make errors like this.
I know they're usually terrible at covering ISU, but I only saw a small article on The Gazette's site covering ISU's game. It read like ISU had played an exhibition game, and I'm not even sure if The Sweet Sixteen was mentioned.

This is the one you must mean. Short diddy, and noting about the S16. Lame.

However... Same kid writes this article, and it loaded with good stuff.

Well, honestly, there was not a lot to write about, which is just fine by me. It is nice to see the Clones dominate someone for a change.
Baffling that people don't understand this. Our opponent was Arkansas - Little Rock. This matchup wasn't UK - Indiana.
I'm not asking for a front page article or something, but maybe a bit more since the writers are raving about how great it was that Woodbury benefited from being a cheap player in Iowa's win.
Bigger issue for this Gazette cub reporter is there is no spell or fact checking in his articles as they regularly feature mistakes. Have already sent sports editor and reporter a correction letter during end of regular season after reading yet another dumb mistake. It's not nitpick stuff either.
Prior to Big12 or NCAA tourneys he mentioned "2 of their losses were on the road in OT." With little effort in his regular assignment in "covering" the ISU team he'd know we swept TCU but lost on the road in OT to all 3 of the other TX schools.
Hope he didn't graduate from our journalism school as this would doubly embarrassing.
Only way for ISU to get front page is to lose or for Iowa's bball team to get bounced /especially now that their wrestling team got manhandled in NYC and women got beaten at home in WNIT. I guess they can start the in-depth coverage of Iowa women's field hockey team.
Their staff readily acknowledges their fanboy status for all things Hawkeye sports so isn't a huge surprise when UNI and ISU do well it is overlooked. Selling unlimited advertising along with limited edition Rose Bowl and 2008 Flood memorabilia seems to be the only thing keeping this paper afloat -if you pardon the pun. So we are lucky we have any coverage at all.

I think Miami is getting about the same coverage. Two non-blue bloods, mid/upper seeds winning the games they're supposed to win. With 8 games Sat and 8 Sun it's not that odd to expect this.
But the local rags and zettes should be slobbering with fawning coverage this week. 'Specially if the Hoks and UNianthers lose, like is expected.
Part of the reason may be that prior to the game, Seth Davis made a big deal about ALR beating the Cyclones. He went on and on about it. So, CBS and its affiliates wouldn't want to embarrass their own, would they?
