    A newspaper does its best job, and if the marketing and advertising departments do their best job, it'll work out.

    The ABJ is thinking smarter by not covering the Zips on the road!
     
  3. I was the Western Michigan beat writer a few years back and strung the game story for ABJ the last time the Zips came to Waldo. I think they coughed up $100 for it. Hard to believe they wouldn't make the effort to find stringer for this one, especially because Akron has a decent program now.

    I bet the Dacron Republican-Democrat would have covered it!

    If you have the body.

    I agree they should have covered it, but I forgot they staff the Indians and Browns.

    I heard the beat writer demanded to stay in a Marriott, and that put the cost of the trip over the top.

    If I knew how to blue note, I'd use it here.

    That'd be some trick in Kzoo, because there's no Marriott there.

    And yes, I know you were trying to blue note.

    Somehow, I doubt the Miami Herald is sending two writers all over the country for Florida Atlantic and Florida International games. But what do i know.
