Blue & Gold Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 In case you guys missed it yesterday, the Akron Beacon Journal got the scoop on Chris Jacquemain beating out Carlton Jackson for the starting QB job on our HOMETOWN DIVISION 1-A COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM!!! Gotta give props to the ABJ Sports department; their coverage has truly been excellent. Quote
blueandgold Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Wow. It only took just under a week after the actual announcement for them to notice. Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Did Pluto write anything sooner in the Plain Dealer or hasn't he left the ABJ yet? Quote
zipboy Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 My favorite is DL's new blog on the MAC. He updates it about once every 2 weeks with a link to some Internet site. I am so glad that Rasor is around Quote
Blue & Gold Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 Could you imagine if Rasor wasn't around?! We would be receiving absolutely no coverage or inside info on our hometown D-1 football program. How frustrating! To add insult to injury, on the front page of today's BJ sports section is a color picture of George Thomas, introducing him as the new OSU beat writer. Wow.Ironically, included in today's Local section's Editor's Commentary is mention of how important UA is for Akron's future. However, these same editors, just two weeks ago, chided UA President Proenza for aiming high and comparing UA to OSU! Additionally, whoever makes the sporting editorial decisions obviously doesn't think UA is important at all. How hypocritical. Oh, well, at least I can find vengeful solace in the fact that no one reads the BJ anymore. Quote
RootforRoo44 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 OSU coverage in the Beacon just pisses me off...as if it wasn't bad enough that they have a huge liberal bias and their paper is garbage, but then they cover the Buckeyes more than the columbus papers. Quote
Buckzip Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 Wasn't George Thomas the movie critic guy? I am glad to know that the Leaking Uninal has sports people covering sports. Quote
