AP bowl bitching thread

    It's great for briefs and short roundups, but when it comes to the World Series or a major bowl it's worthless to us. Maybe I just need to work on my patience (that might make a good resolution).

    Patience is something you cannot afford with an East Coast deadline.

    This thread brings a tear to my eye, after a couple of years of leading the bowl-season bitch fest about AP and its bowl-season deadline performance.

    That was my question.

    Have they been consistently bad?

    So, how long will it take for AP to send more than 7 inches?

    The game wasn't in doubt nearly the entire fourth quarter, so sending a 12-15 inch story shouldn't be a problem.

    Actually, this wasn't a bad gig as juco bowl games go. It was played in Biloxi, which has a boatload of very nice casinos and some excellent restaurants. There are worse places you could have a bowl game.

    It's nice to see the lack of speed applies to the NFL as well.

    Just send a fucking topper on the running story.

    3 inches is what they move? 3 fucking inches?

    Desk work sucks when relying on the AP.

    I know, but I needed to vent.

    It is starting to move a bit quicker now.

    Yes, from 3.5 to 9.3 to 12.5 in seven minutes.

    I figure we'll be seeing 14.2 inches in about two minutes from now. ::)
