I only bemoaned that there was no story online. The fact that I scoured stltoday and don't subscribe to the paper makes me lazy... Nope doesn't add up, try again.

billiken_roy Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 stu cant decide what definitively gets in the paper or at stltoday.com. talk to the sports editor. unfortunately most of the post disgrace's editors are mi$$ouri grads and feel obligated to defend the tiger$ however they can, even if that means keeping billiken news to a minimum. we do have a very nice article today on the chances of fouler tilmon going to the nba as he declared today. ha.

billiken_roy Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 if you go to stu's twitter page, which he does control, he almost immediately retweeted the news of the no hitter on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he didn't hurt his finger scrolling and pressing(alright now that was trolling). I mean I'm appreciative he put it out there but man a retweet is about the most meh thing you can do.

HoosierPal Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 By the way @billikenfan05, Stu had a small article in today's Post Dispatch, page 2, on Lewis. I assume you missed it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are really hard to please. There is no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question though is how does a paper use valuable print space but don't put it on the website which has nearly unlimited space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s the problem we’re trying to solve with THTRB media brand(or whatever it becomes). We want to produce the Billiken content that fans want but aren’t getting. There’s no reason billiken fans should be satisfied with unsatisfactory coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almaman Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I feel for papers but they're on their way out and citizenry is the poorer for it. TBS % of the 3M residents of metropolitan area that care about our obsession is much lower than some on here seem willing to accept. smaller still % is those that care about college baseball. Hard for us to fill student seats and they get in for free and only have to walk across campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
