Agreed. I can understand papers not sending a reporter to Green Bay. But not to pay a stringer a hundred or two hundred $ to write a real game story, & not use wire service reports, is neglectful. Regarding performance, we have as much relevance in NCAA D-1 basketball (ranked in the 2nd quartile) as compared to Pitt football in the BCS (ranked in the 2nd quartile). Going to NIT and CBI is equal to going to Meineke and BBVA bowls. I'm not saying that we HAVE the same relevance and deserve the same coverage, but give us the recognition and respect for what the Dukes have and are accomplishing. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: Jules 's message, "Look, I am tired of all the boot-licking excuses; there is no justification for the P-G's coverage of last night's impressive Dukes road victory; they disrespect the Duquesne program regularly; so I really can do without their pathetic excuse for a daily newspaper. Very easy choice to eliminate the PG or the Pitt news if you will." on Thursday, December 09, 02:28:23pm

Why worry about the p-g coverage, you can go online and find the trib and greenbay papers with stories, and also the duquesne website. I can follow this team from 1,000 miles away in Florida with out KDKA Sports giving the score. (NT) -- philldogg, Friday, December 10, 10:10:58am
- phildogg, it doesn't affect me or you since we're already Dukes fans. We will seek out information on our team. But good newspaper coverage creates a buzz with the average sports fan. A game story would have generated more interest in the Dukes than the afterthought that the PG gave to us. It might have sparked an interest in purchasing tickets to see the Dukes go up against a Final Four team from WVU at the Consol. (NT) -- Phoenix Rising, Friday, December 10, 12:47:03pm
