Subject: Proposed Headline in CT Post

The CT Post (Mike Puma and Chris Elsberry) said last year that the Stags will get more coverage when they win and interest picks up. The wins are there, the interest is there. So, what kind of story does the CT Post need to do over the next couple of days????? I would like to see the following headline:

Something Special Happening at Harbor Yard

I am hoping that the CT Post does do a Wednesday story recapping the excitement that has just occurred over the last week.... all on the road. And I hope that they say the words "You got to see these guys play".

On Thursday, the article should be front page Sports saying "The Battle for 1st Place"..... and talk about the significant of the game, and pumping up both Fairfield and Manhattan

I really think something BIG is now happening, everything is clicking for the STAGS. The Manhattan game brings back memories of Niagara, BC, Holy Cross, PC, etc. games of years past. It's been 17 years since we've seen anything like this. Puma and the Post can do much to help the MAAC truck keep rolling. I strongly believe that with some assistance, we will see a strong student turnout of near a thousand and a crowd that will rival that of St. Johns.

I was very critical of the post last year, but after reading some of the articles online this year, I resubscribed. While in the past the post has negative and slanted in their coverage of the Stags, I have found the articles this year to be more balanced. They still haven't accepted the fact that Cormier is gone, but coverage has improved. I think if the Stags do continue to win, and more importantly if they begin to draw, The stags will get even better coverage.

As much as I don't like it the post does give UConn both men and women too much exposure, leaving less space for the stags. Perhaps if Uconn continues there decline and the stags their run, we will see more balanced coverage. I'd love to see the Stags play Uconn again next year. Don't count on it...
