    Agreed. Everyone goes to the sports sites at that point.

    UCLA is in the same time zone as the OC Register.

    The fact that we even have this conversation makes me wonder why we still print newspapers. Let it go, it's over.

    Well, some of are glad we still have jobs, Rick. Sorry if that doesn't fit your world view. :)

    Then why print anything, ever?

    You will always run the risk of the news changing and making your article outdated, whether it's an NFL coaching search or an in-depth analysis of the situation in Ukraine.

    That being said . . . our 22-page Sunday sports section this week will have 7 full pages of ads. That's why we still do it. It still pays the bills.
     
  8. For now. Doesn't make sense to close up shop until enough print readers die off.

    We were only in the sense that this is what we would do for a late game. Oregon-UCLA would never mean enough to us to run a late-game box.

    For probably a third of our dead-tree readers, the Internet is some toy their grandkids play with. Those same readers are accustomed to stuff being too late for the paper, and they still read.
