For what it's worth I've been told that he gets a ton of grief from the athletic dept including the coaching staff on the S-R's coverage, or perceived lack thereof which is laughable.
Fact is S-R's #1 & #2 sports priority is GU hoop & WSU fball, GU is a Top 10 program and WSU is Top 25. If it wasn't for the S-R we'd have NO coverage. S-R, like other papers around the country, are struggling to make ends meet.
Just moved from Seattle to Chicago, if it wasn't for Ryan & the S-R I'd have to rely. on national sites that focus on FCS football
