Difference in PJ Star coverage of local teams

[dogsrus]

I never notice threads started to attack the coaching or reminding us of BU finishes. I do notice threads started that discuss the pros and cons of Bradley basketball.

And....this is something that surprised him?


Heck you didn't need to start a message board to hear those (what he calls "attacks" )....just go to any game and peruse the concourse at halftime. Or make a quick time out pit stop in the mens room. 90% of the comments are "attacks"...this board is calm vs what the REAL fan on the street or at the games has to say.


I agree JD....I think the problem is the use of the word "attack".

You are correct..people start threads here to discuss the pro's/con's of all things BU. When you are not very good in ANY profession the truth often hurts.

I haven't seen anyone say they are fans of KW either. Some say they think an article is good, bad or ok.

I read his article and go on with life...no obsession. I did the same about the ISU article today.

I am fine with the moving on....
if you read the posts in this thread, it is those who disagree with my original premise that are the ones displaying the hysterics.

every Valley team has coverage of their away games...if we did "a whole lot worse" as you say ..
we'd be so far below the norm of the Valley that even the PJS defenders would throw in the towel...

Almost every Valley city enjoys WIDESPREAD satisfaction with their local team's coverage -- I never see threads on the other guys' boards that express much unhappines...
so you judge who gets the best coverage and use whatever criteria you want...

That's all well and fine, but I would not use a message board sample to determine that a fan base is happy with their articles.

Furthermore, I would not use this, or the other board, as a representative sample of what people think of KW. I mean, I don't agree with KW all the time, but he's great at making folks talk at the watercooler.

I honestly think people here do not want to admit that KW is doing his job correctly, and that is getting people to talk.

OMG Coach K, I hope you are reading this!

Again Lefty....we're ALL out-of-step with Moms boys.

And don't try and tell me I'm NOT hysterical....I'm tearing the house apart as I type.

OMG Coach K, I hope you are reading this!

The 60 has me concerned.....I THINK we can cover the 140.

I disagree 100% with that.

Dog your easy All it would take to bring those #'s down, lets say30 points, would be to get some beers in you before the game, then continue the beers through the game and a few more on the way to the bridge Once there and on top, have a bunch of women yelling, take it OFF You'll jump and in the raw

the PJ star coverage is simple. BU is in Peoria, ISU is in Normal. BU is the priority team in Peoria, ISU is pretty much an after thought to most reading the PJstar. It doesn't do the sports reporters any good to dig deep down and criticize an "outside" team.

It's just like the news section. PJstar criticizes the local council members & Police when crime hits the roof. They don't go off the deep end when Bloomington area has a rash of crime. They leave it to the Pantagraph to do the heavy digging out that way.
