cheeseman Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Just noticed today that the Post is now listing both IL and MU upcoming mens and womens bb games but no listing for SLU. Up to now they had only shown the football schedule - not sure if this was an oversight or something that they plan to do all year. Bonwich what is the story?

MB73 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Surprised? The SL Post has systematicaly sabotaged SLU sports for 40+ years. Every year there are countless examples of subtle disrespect of the SLU basketball program through lack of coverage, acknolwedgment of achievement, placement (or non placement) of articles. How about that picture of Cassity in Exh. game #1 sitting on the floor very, very awkwardly trying to get a loose ball? Of all the pictures they took, thats the one they put in the paper: they should have gone all the way with a subline: "SLU's Cassity looking stupid". MU shills, all of them.

I like the food section, though. Yes but they have never not listed us and our game times - that is what caught me by surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only get worse with Mizzou now taking over Ole Miss as the Whipping Post of the Southeastern Conference. Looking forward to seeing the co-eds in Columbia try to wear a sundress for a Thursday nighter against Mississippi State. Must-see-TV.

bonwich Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Uh huh. The vast media conspiracy against the Bills clearly explains why this item appears approximately six inches directly below the Calendar items: Ex-Billiken Davis a finalist for Major League Soccer MVP • Brad Davis, who played at Chaminade High and SLU, is one of three finalists for the Most Valuable Player award in Major League Soccer. He led the league with 16 assists while playing for the Houston Dynamo. Davis is also a finalist for the league's Humanitarian of the Year award. The MVP winner will be announced on Nov. 19. The humanitarian winner will be named Wednesday. (Tom Timmermann) Y'all are seeing black helicopters here. We have a saying in the newsroom when things go wrong: "Never attribute to malice what can more easily be attributed to simple stupidity."

bonwich Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Personally, I think this is a ridiculously good picture, but I also think that Chris Lee is the best sports photographer in America, if not the world. On deadline stories, the photographer has pretty much sole discretion on what gets turned in. Chris, by the way, went to Northwestern and has a degree in mechanical engineering. If anyone would like to play editor and pick another shot that should have been featured, go to www.stltoday.com and put "Stritch" in the search box upper left. I might have gone with the one that has BC and GG trying to block, but it's a vertical, and those don't fit as well in almost all of our layouts.

kshoe Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Love it. The only difference between Dickey and SLU is he's actually played in the NCAA tourney in the past 10 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sports department at the P-D has meetings to discuss how they can shortchange SLU's coverage and then the writers all laugh manaically, smoke cigars, high-five each other and sing the Mizzou fight song. It's all perfectly rational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwyjibo Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yeah, but I thought he graduated. He will be on ESPNU Sunday playing UNC (or as they say in Asheville UNC-Chapel Hill). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
