Okay, okay, I was supposed to be done, but the more I read, the more I laugh. For the record, I was comparing local press coverage of Creighton to UNO. Creighton gets more. A little more. Matty P was so upset by that he had to chime in on that, too. Here is what he said:
4. Half Step above UNO? This is just stupid. Is UNO on a local TV station 8 times? Fox Sports? ESPN? Has a Rivals site that covers recruiting year round? Has another website dedicated to covering the team? Get 17,000 fans per game?
Anyway, nobody said UNO had any games on ESPN or tv for that matter. I was specifically speaking of coverage in the World Herald, on local radio and how much is discussed on the local sports portion of the newscasts. Nowhere did I mention how much Creighton was on TV. Creighton gets a little ink in the World Herald and they have a radio show on the Fox sports affiliate. Creighton gets little more exposure than UNO during the local newscasts and they probably get less coverage than UNO on KFAB, Omaha's top rated, 50,000 watt AM radio station (KFAB is the Husker flagship station and gives Creighton very little coverage at all).
But that's not the funny part, the funny part is the Rivals website remark. Oh my God is that funny! Is it just me, or is that right out of tornado's playbook?
There are three rules that I live by, never get less than 12 hours sleep, never gamble with a guy who has the same first name as a city and never get involved with a chick with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Stick to that and everything else is gravy!
