I say that we all write letters/e-mails to the News and the Dispatch (printed Monday) and give 'em hell over their error.

The Dispatch has been making them quite a bit lately. They even mentioned Paul Krebs as the Radio Play-by-play voice of the Buckeyes. It is acutally Paul Keels.

The e-mail addresses are:

The BG News - [email protected]

The Columbus Dispatch - [email protected]

At a minimum we can clog up their e-mail server.

Hey all,

My name is Sean Corp, current sports editor at The BG News. I appreciate how high of a standard you guys have for us, and believe me we have the same standard set for ourselves.

In this case, unfortunately, we trusted the AP too much. Unlike someone said before we can edit AP articles in any way we see fit, but due to the limited time that we have available I have copy editors read AP stories because I don't have the time and change them to match our style. We don't have any sports only copy editors and as such they wouldn't have noticed that the score was messed up.

It was a mistake I saw the next day that ruined what I felt was a pretty decent section that day. As for the comment complaining about "The Bruce" on the front of sports it was a national story with a MAC tie and we have BG News produced photos of Toledo so we ran with it. It did not impede on any local coverage or take up much room in the section. If you guys want to complain aobut that you're going to have to convince BG to make a bowl game next time. :wink:

Well put, Sean.

Although next time, would you please just stay in the shadows so we can keep blaming Metzger? Thanks. :wink:
