I guess they don't take off points for inaccuracies in reporting the facts.

Lol. Beat me to it on their sports coverage.

This "competition" must be similar to the UIL marching contest for bands - everybody gets a "1" and a big [deleted] sweepstakes trophy.

Maybe they just rotate the award.

More likely they were the only Texas entry.

Definition of "old" ... when I was in school, I picked up the DC to read about the various SMU teams, and found several in there! They were well-written and informative, too.

The online sports coverage is sometimes rife with inaccuracies. Such as quoting stats from several seasons past.

I pick it up anytime I'm in the Fondren Library. It's usually a pretty good read. Though, for reasons stated in this thread, I stay away from their sports write-ups a bit.

Top notch reporting of important issues like this will win you awards

Surprised. The paper is thin in content, gives space to non-SMU stories and is not particularly engaging. Journalism here and everywhere is on the decline.
