Cowlishaw on HCM/SMU

reporting and in particular sports reporting has lowered their standards dramatically in the last decades. It is less about quality,interesting sports information that is true and verified through reliable sources and more about filling in a column and airtime on talk shows and columnists. Not an original thought in the bunch. All they do is steal ideas from other media and give opinions over and over. Rather than if you don't know and aren't willing to put in the time to find out, then shut up. I guess that is what the younger generation wants, opinions and not facts

Remember when games weren't on tv and you read about them in full detail the next day in the paper?

Twice a Day

I remember waiting on the paperboy to throw the Dallas Times Herald in the afternoon. HOT off the presses.

In all honesty there isnt enough hard sports news being reported. The raw scores, stats etc are all available online from multiple sources. That leaves puff pieces, slam pieces, or opinions. I live in Austin and the media feed me a steady diet of "isn't UT wonderful?" stories that people down here gobble up but make me puke. Never see the Dallas media do the same for SMU.

UT is Austin's Cowboys. It's all they have. Back in the day before professional sports hit Dallas, there was much more coverage of SMU. Remember, the Cotton Bowl was built and expanded to accommodate the desire of Dallas people to watch Doak Walker and SMU. In those days, the SMU Home Coming parade was through downtown Dallas. The times they have changed.
