Why anybody would willingly read the sports section from the Post Register is beyond me. Hell, why anybody would read that paper at all is beyond me. 99% of the sports page is comprised of AP wire stories. I don't think they even send a reporter to cover ISU sports, they just use the AP report. Sometimes they might have a front page story of Idaho losing a game to LA Tech, and they relegate ISU to a 3rd or 4th page. Other times, they might put ISU on the front page, but only if they can put a bigger BYU story there first.
After BYU played at ISU, they ran a column wondering why ISU hiked ticket prices for that game. They ran correspondance from somebody who claimed he was exploited and would never attend another ISU game. When myself, and apparently others, wrote and pointed out to the PR that BYU also raised basketball ticket prices for high demand games, like Utah, they never presented "the other side."
Which brings me to last week. Some genius was quick to post on here a story which the PR "reported." It claimed some local product was offered a partial scholarship to Montana, and this genius took it to post here, twice, that ISU failed to identify his talent and sign him. Turns out, the PR actually printed a correction this weekend that the guy, who wasn't offered by anybody else, was offered a partial scholarsip to WESTERN Montana. Oops. I notice the guy's posts on here are deleted, but of course he didn't post a follow up to make the correction. Throw a stone, cause some damage, run away. So much for being accountable.
Go Bengals!
