Again, who cares? If you hate the PJ Star so much and think it's so awful, stop reading it and stop visiting their website. You promote this site as a far superior source of information anyways, so who cares what they write?
Just curious - What will be the topic tomorrow? The NCAA's bias against mid-majors with Native American imagery? ISU's problems with the law? Coaches tampering with BU recruits and nothing being done about it? Something else? Plenty of topics out there to keep us from discussing what's really going on with the BU men's basketball program.

And plenty of reminders on an hourly basis reminding us how bad we are. Personally, I don't mind hearing about something else every now and then.
Maybe we should start a new thread about how our coach should be fired 7 games into the season......and then 8......and then 9........

I cancelled my subscription and will only check out the local rag for free and will occasionally click on a link to see what they write. That being said, all DC and T are doing is to illustrate a clear bias that is currently going on with the PJS. Why care? Well the PJS can influence opinion around the area and when the PJS prints a headline on the front page such as "ISU Can't PULL UPSET" the casual fan who may not read past the front page will have the incorrect opinion that the ISU game was close last night. Also, there are plenty of topics on this board that discuss the status of the BU program etc. This topic is also fair game. jmho
Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™

Right.....if you don't like the topic, then you can simply look past it. I looked at the first post of a thread about someone making a t-shirt for the Duke game and haven't looked since. Besides, what was the purpose of that thread?

Missouri Brave---A great post, very well written, and 100% correct!
I'm getting weary of the PJS and KW haters and pseudo journalists who don't have any kind of well grounded journalistic background or experience and can offer nothing other than emotional anti PJS rants and a rose colored glasses-head-in-the-sand view of the deteriorating and very mediocre Bradley BB program the past several years, WITH OR WITHOUT THE RECENT RASH OF PLAYER INJURIES.
What if ISU was the one that lost to EIU, would you all be singing a different tune if the article was just as "viscous" as you make out the headline to BU's loss?
Maybe those that aren't satisfied with the BU coverage should petition PJS to have Campos follow the Braves....maybe it would be different...
Hey...we could have a poll....would Campos write more positive articles about BU?
I am not necessarily looking for "positive" articles out of the PJS, just omit the blatant sarcasm from the headlines etc. If they did that, the PJS would be a far more effective newspaper. I certainly believe that the PJS could be far more creative in their coverage of the hometown team as well!

Likewise, would nobody here be questiong how "BU Can't Pull Upset" was possibly the headline if we lost by 30+ at home.

Be my guest, I am sure you will get lots of contributors.
I don't think he should be fired.
Some do. Funny how things tend to even out.

The PJS is far from perfect, but put it in perspective. They have not one, but two people, who extensively cover BU. Not to mention a handful of others who report on the other athletics at BU.
Oh yeah, and I think when softball made it to the NCAA, they had not just a reporter but a photographer who traveled with the team to Mizzou.
We could do a whole lot worse, like the PJS not traveling to the away games or having "wire" stories. The LA Times, which has reporters literally all over the globe, had a reporter cover the tournament in Springfield, MA that USC appeared in...
...From Los Angeles.
There would be an uproar if the PJS cheaped out on their coverage of Bradley, but on the other hand folks have a thin skin when it comes to their headlines. If anything, it shows the sports media here CARES about Bradley, and does not throw them under the bus in favor of more high school sports, Illini talk or whatnot.

Fair enough......but it seems once an opinion is formed by someone they look for things to accentuate it.....oh...that's just my opinion btw
This is ludicrous. You're not even comparing the same YEARS, yet alone the same caliber of competition. Let me break it down for you...EIU is a ohio valley bottom feeder who turned around after beating us and prompty lost by 26 to SOUTH DAKOTA ST!!!! They are routinely sub 300 in RPI, they are AMONG THE WORST IN D 1!!! WE LOST TO THEM!!!!! AT HOME!!!!!! Who cares who we had out. Our bench should have beat them. The PJS was kind in those remarks. Anyone who witnessed the game I'm sure had far worse things to say. This may be the worst comparison thread I've ever seen on this board. Please stop.
Thanks cf for telling it like it is and putting things in real terms
I saw the game and I am still having nightmares about it and wake up in a cold sweat
