Blue & Gold Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I just had to comment that the Beacon's Zips coverage was GREAT this morning! Terry Pluto's article was outstanding, and David Morgan's column provided good critical analysis of not only the Zips, but also of CMU - so that, for the first time I can ever remember, the Beacon educated us about the upcoming opponent. It was great reading and I pray this is the new philosophy of the Akron Beacon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 It's simple...Do big things and the media notices. Great. Now all we need to do is beat a team like NC State every day and we'll get coverage.The Beacon issues are well documented. Most people are tired of it, including myself. If the Beacon truly has changed their ways, great. I'll believe it when I see it, and see it consistently. Pluto's column was a good start, but it is only a start.

UADavid Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Very nice indeed . Terry Pluto strapped on a brass pair. He shot from both barrels in defense of the zips. I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to beat a team like NC State every time out. You have to win consistently. When, in recent memory, have the Zips been the favorite in all but two games on their schedule? And I'm not talking about having a chance to win...I'm talking being the favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 We'll know the ABJ has arrived when they give us team coverage throughout the year; when they provide human interest stories about the players' lives; when they still cover the daylights out of the team even when we have a down year and go 2-10; when we have a few consecutive losing seasons and the ABJ's sportswriters are critical and call for a coaches firing!

Zipsrifle Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 WOW!For all the crap I give the ABJ, that was totally unexpected. I have to say, I am as floored by that article as Amato is by the outcome of last weeks game. I have to give credit where credit is due...that was great! Lets hope it keeps coming.
