zipdiehard Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 On the front page of the Beacon sports is their new "team" of reporters. Where is the U of A beat reporter? Nice to know we will see plenty of articles regarding Tressel's sweatervests while scouring the pages for a two inch article on the Zips upcoming game.

Yep. That right. YSU grad David Lee Morgan. He posted it on his blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyZip Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 not that i subscribe to this rag of a paper (though i do get knocks on the door about once a month begging me to purchase a subscription), but why does everyone else? Is the actual news portion that useful? Need something for the dog to whizz on? Have bird cages that need floor covering? Saving up for something to put the pumpkin guts on in a couple months? I'm sick of complaining about it, but it coverage actually appears to be getting worse. Is this paper that out-of-touch that they think there's absolutely no interest in a story covering the zips? Do they think we all care about a preseason game of OSU vs a minor league team? What can be done? Emails? Letters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronad Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Unfortunately, due to my job, I need to get both the BJ & PD on a daily basis. Other wise, 1 of them would be history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 David Lee Morgan has since updated his blog a bit. He's got an entry concerning the QB rotation, an entry concerning the potential of Matt Rodgers, and an entry dealing with possible week 1 MAC upsets.But I agree about the BJ. I subscribe because I keep hoping against hope that they, as our hometown paper, will begin religiously covering Zips athletics. But I'm growing disheartened. I may just cancel my subscription and drink in Rasor's daily blog for free! Heck, that'd even save some trees! Rasor's blog is the best thing the BJ sports section has going for it. The BJ could be a tool in shaping Akron's identity. Instead, their writers seem to believe that their community is named Clevelumbus.

g-mann17 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I started subscribing so I could keep up with the Art Museum renovation. I also used to like Dyer Streets but when he doesn't write about painted squirrel he really isn't that interesting. But generally I never started subscribing to the Beacon for Sports, that's what CBS.Sportsline and ESPN are for, then I do some internet digging to keep up with the Zips. It would be great, but unless the Beacon is inundated with a public outcry to get a University page they will stick with the status quo. You can't tell me that there isn't enough going on with Soccer, Volleyball, Golf, Football, Cross Country, and Basketball recruiting (and rotating that for each sports season) to justify a full page in the sports like the MLB gets.
