How much are VCU and Butler covered during the regular season?

    Where do the Eastern League Flying Squirrels factors into the list since they replaced the Braves?

    I'm sorry. RBraves should be F'n Squirrels.

    They pretty much spilt time with NASCAR as the main game in town.

    This veiw is from a reader.

    They're Gannett. All the Gannett paper websites are set up the same way. And they all pretty much suck (though they're not as hard-to-navigate as the McClatchy sites).

    Banner headline above the fold, to begin.

    A score graphic that doesn't look like it crawled out of 1987.

    I can agree with those criticisms. But those are criticisms of quality. That package is plenty big, if not very pretty.

    There's really a countdown clock to next year's Super Bowl on the main page? Eek.

    Can we now list the papers in Connecticut that *don't* have a UConn beat writer?

    Heck, 10 years ago there were even more papers that beat them.

    I'm curious as to whether papers in the Southwest part of Kentucky bother with a Wildcats beat writer? The AP sure doesn't provide enough other than gamers to get by without one, unless you're just willing to tell your readership that if they want Kentucky coverage in their local newspaper, they need to move East.

    David Woods has been the Butler beat writer for the Indianapolis Star for quite some time. I can only think of maybe a couple of games in the last three years that I haven't seen him have a story the next day, and I want to say that when that did happen Jeff Rabjohns picked it up. Woods also has a decent Butler basketball blog on the Star's website.

    Woods has written a couple of books about Butler basketball too. One that came out right before last year's Final Four run and then another one he did last spring chronicling last season.

    He and The Star are the only place I've found where I can get quality, regular Butler coverage.

    I'm not sure where else you would get Butler coverage anyway besides the Indianapolis paper.
