More About Not Making Sense

By RON MALY


My Neighbor Al, the Health Nut sounded off the other day about the terrible newspaper coverage around here of the Missouri Valley Conference basketball tournament that Northern Iowa won.

Now there's more.

A reader named Herschel sent me this email:

"Ron,

"I'm pissed that  the Des Moines Register didn't send a sportswriter to the Missouri Valley Conference for the first time in history.

"I found out that Andrew Logue of the Register is going to the Quad Cities to cover the Missouri Valley Conference women's basketball tournament, where UNI and Drake are the top two seeds.

"BUT he won't be covering the championship game...which doesn't make any sense especially if Drake plays UNI for the title."

MESSAGE TO HERSCHEL:  You're right, it doesn't make any sense. But very little makes sense anymore in the newspaper business].
