The BG News....what the hell?

Hey look...I found a big mistake in the Sports section.... The AP generated the story, but it appears correctly elsewhere online....

Akron (7-5), coming off its first MAC title, earned its first Division I-A bowl berth with its 31-30 win over Northern Illinois on Dec. 1. Memphis (6-4), second to former MAC member Central Florida in Conference USA’s East Division, will be playing in a bowl for the third year in a row. The Tigers beat Bowling Green 52-35 a year ago in the GMAC Bowl.

probably edited by one of the students who runs home to Mommy and Daddy every weekend instead of staying put and going to the football game

They also had a pic of Bruce Gradkowski on the cover of the sports section.

Are you serious? If so, someone should be expelled.

The same AP story was in the Columbus Dispatch today, horrible!

If the AP ran it originally, I don't think the BG News is allowed to edit it at all.

But if that's the case, don't run it at all.

That and we aren't run by the school. We can put whatever we want wherever we want.

This is true. I seem to remember a front page picture of the Snooze one year had an interesting picture (which was edited for vulgarity).

Background: LAGA (Lesbian And Gay Alliance) had a specific day where a person was instructed to wear jeans if you support their message. To put this in context that would be like saying, "drink something today if you support the war." Back then, a person had two items of clothing to cover their lower extremities: sweat pants and denim.

On the cover was a lad standing in front of the Union. He had long, blond hair, and was wearing ripped jeans. His t-shirt said, "Hey LAGA! [expletive] off and have a nice day."

I wore sweatpants that day, I believe.

Unequivocally not true.

Nah, the sports editor is just busy trying to convince Omar to stay in school

Come on, the AP has better things to do then check the accuracy of the facts it reports regarding last years GMAC bowl. Accurate facts regarding a MAC school? No time for that, the #7 SEC team is playing the day after tomorrow. Hey, at least they got the teams right, stop complaining.
