Sorry TennZip....preaching to the choir here. I fired off a letter to the ABJ last May after they failed to recognize an NCAA Champion in our pole vaulter Matt Ludwig, local boy from Chardon....crickets from Exchange Street, then finally an article a week later. It's now to the point I think they purposely avoid covering us just to pee us off. The football forum is full of us venting about how bad George Thomas is as the Akron beat writer, and the PD's Elton Alexander is equally bad, but not quite as bad. They are only interested in covering the Indians, the Cavs, the Browns and Ohio State. They can't get it through their skulls that there is a unique void they could fill for a fan base craving for info on U of A. I wrote earlier about my travels and how no matter what city I am in, if there's a college in the town, I can pick up the local paper and know within minutes if the school's athletic teams are playing at home that night. Not here, ever. That's why we have so many fanatics on the Forums, because it's the only place to read ANYTHING about the Zips. Hell, the Kent Record Courier covers the Zips better that the ABJ does. As far as the Athletic Department, I'm not sure we can really blame them, as they do use social media and GoZips.com to try to spread the word, and there are the weekly radio shows that do try to cover other coaches that the majors. I don't know what other vehicles Larry and the SIDs and coaches could use when your two biggest newsrags don't want anything to do with you. Now you've got me all worked up too!!!!
