I hate the Post. Huge Maryland photos on the front page of sports, followed by more in the story in the center of the section. Georgetown photos? Nothing. Zip. Zero. Not on the front page, the middle, or the last. While we're the top story of the section by location, coverage of the MD game is 2-3 times larger in print space. I'm tired of the argument that it's a business decision, far more MD grads as readers, etc. If you can't count on the WP to cover GU because it's a local team, then perhaps you might because, as a top 20 team, it's a national interest story. Another chapter in the Post's slide into irrelevancy. Write their editors to complain: main editorial address, letters@washpost.com; sports, sports@washpost.com.

First post in a loooong while...
But this has been covered ad nauseum...the newspaper industry is a business. They need to sell papers. Simply put, there are more Maryland alums than Georgetown...that's all. No need to be incensed.

I do see two flaws in that argument --
1) Maryland alums read? newspapers?
2) Anybody still reads newspapers?

Worst thing about Post coverage was no box score, at least in the edition delivered to my home.

First post in a loooong while... But this has been covered ad nauseum...the newspaper industry is a business. They need to sell papers. Simply put, there are more Maryland alums than Georgetown...that's all. No need to be incensed. Again that's a stupid argument. The Post can show the Terps love and still do a much better job covering the other local schools. The newspapers are dying and need EVERY last cent of they can get from potential consumers. In elections most candidates don't just settle for trying to entice the largest demographic. They go after other smaller demographics as well to help put them over the top. The WPost should consider this strategy. With that being said I don't think the WPost did anything wrong this time out. As a person who has a subscription I have noticed that because of the cutbacks the Post no longer even have scores at the back of its sports sections for late games. And if the Wiz or the Caps or even ::gasp:: the Redskins have a late night game that does not end before a certain deadline, there is no story or even a mention of the score in the early editions of the newspaper (the ones dropped off at homes of folks like me). This is a difference compared to the old days during which when a local team had a late game in another time zone the sports page would still have some type of article to chronicle the results. In my Saturday edition the Liz Clarke story wasn't even included. If it wasn't for me coming across her article online sometime around 1 AM I would have guessed she never wrote one at all. Hell, I'm surprised she even took the trip to New Orleans. Was Bruce Springsteen performing in the Super Dome or something? (an inside joke for those of you who listen to the Tony Kornheiser show). Maryland, on the other hand, played a game that started two hours earlier and they played it of course in their home arena. So of course they were going to get the big spread. The coverage of that game was sent in much earlier. Sure if Gtown had played the Tulane game at 7 pm at the Verizon Center, the Terps probably would have still gotten the priority, but the fact that Le Hoyas played a late game in New Orleans makes it all moot anyway. Frankly I was more ticked off at the DC area Comcast sports show not showing any highlights of the Gtown game or even mentioning a score. Two local DC stations with far less resources for sports showed highlights during their sports segment but Comcast (which is pretty good with showing Hoya stuff although having much stronger ties to Maryland) didn't even put in an effort even though it had a half hour to fill for its broadcast. |

Maryland played at home. The Post ran photos taken by a Post photographer.
Georgetown played in New Orleans and the game started at 9:30 Eastern time.
They saved the top of the 1st page of the sports section for the Georgetown game article.
