Title: I'm sure I'm overreacting but...
Post by: Ron Paul on March 23, 2013, 11:32:40 PM
The tone of Hunt's article tonight sounded more like, "hey, Butler failed" vs. "Great Win for Marquette".  Read the article for yourself, but its disappointing to me that we aren't celebrating Blue's breakout tournament, two amazing wins, Buzz out-coaching two of the better coaches in the NCAA tourney.  Probably not the time to gripe, but tough for me to take.

Dude, you are seriously overreacting.

For one thing, I didn't get that he was saying Butler failed more than Marquette succeeded.

For another more important thing, this is just his on-deadline, just-the-facts-ma'am, right-after-the-final-horn story. He surely will update it shortly. He has to go to the press conference, go to the locker room and then incorporate the quotes he gets into a less-dry version of the story.

Did you even read the article?  Deadlines?

"The MJS has an anti-Marquette bias!"  meme.

Never gets old.

Until Hunt updated his article, the top story on JS was - Badgers hold off Colorado College to win WCHA title, secure NCAA berth.

It may be meme, but it is founded in reality.

MJS has a pro Badger bias. That is just good business. However, that pro Badger bias doesn't necessarily translate to an anti-MU bias. I certainly don't see any evidence of it in Hunt's article.

No, it is.  And it's not.
