'Poor Excuse for a Newspaper'


An e-mail from a Drake graduate, who is a former athlete at the university and is a longtime fan of the Bulldogs:

"Did you read the game story of the Drake
women's victory over North Dakota in today's Des Moines Register?

"There wasn't one.

"You might have seen the box score on the next-to- last page of the sports section. 

"Really great coverage of a local women's team that is 3-0, with wins over ISU, Wisconsin and North Dakota. 

"Fun team to watch with all 10 players getting minutes. 

"Bench scoring against ISU--32 points, Wisconsin--36 points off the bench.

"I called the editor and Andrew Logue, but no response. 

''They had stories covered on high school football by some out-of-town sportswriter and coverage of Iowa-UNI was a writer from the  Waterloo Courier or some newspaper up there.

"Poor excuse for a newspaper. Come and watch the Bulldog women sometime. I believe you will enjoy them."


[RON MALY'S COMMENTS--The present  coverage of Drake athletics is the worst in the  long [more than 100 years] history of the newspaper. It's a total embarrassment. And don't expect the situation to get any better. If anything, it'll get worse].
