Valley Beat Writers

[E-Villan]

We have a link on our board (UE) to the twitter accounts of the league beat writers. Apparently it is now pretty much out of date. Looks like Todd Golden (INSU), Nick Petaros (UNI), Matthew Bain (Drake) and Todd Hefferman (SIU) are all gone now? Would you guys mind providing the links for your current ones if you have them?

If anyone is interested, Evansville's is Anthony Kristensen twitter.com/AMFKristensen

Isur's beat writer just beats off our coaches.

For Drake it's https://twitter.com/AlyssaHertel

She's by far the worst beat writer Drake's ever had

UNI has 3 really good ones right now:

Ethan Petrik (Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier): @ethan_petrik
Eliot Clough (KCRR): @eliotclough
Cole Bair (KCNZ/Cedar Rapids Gazette) @realcolebair

Ethan is the most traditional. Eliot has kind of an 'insider' role with UNI. Cole is the longest tenured and most 'honest'.

Dave Eminian for Bradley.

Good at articles, okay at twitter.

I also follow Wyatt for MSU and Paul for Valpo (too lazy to post links).

Anthony Kristensen and Chad Linskog for Evansville.
Steven Boero for Belmont.
Idk if he is a beat reporter but I follow Jeff Bidwell for Murray St.

Haven't been able to find anyone for UIC or a replacement for Todd at Indiana St.

Damn, I think you are correct. She hasn't posted a thing about Drake since 12-13. Of course, it's not like you've beaten any SEC team since then.....

I get Gannett is a crapshow, but do something. They have crapped all over the Evansville paper as well, but our guy is still covering all of the games.

BC, isn't the sportsguy who went viral for ranting on the weather up in your neck of the woods? I don't think he was on your list. Mark something.

He is! That's Mark Woodley. He works for KWWL TV as their weekend sports anchor and weekday sports reporter. KWWL doesn't do a great job with UNI coverage. It's typically all Hawks, all the time.

KCRG out of Cedar Rapids probably does the best with UNI as far as our local TV stations but it's still mostly all Hawks.
