    What do they have for local sports shows over there?

      when & where did I ever say UNI should get equal coverage? Incredible.

It's a matter of constantly perpetuating the idea that there are only two state university athletic programs. Why do they give ISU equal coverage to Iowa in all things, there are twice as many Iowa fans as ISU. The reason is because they promote that rivalry continuously as if it were relevant. They pretty much have built their entire sports reporting around that concept. I heard on the sports this morning and will hear again 50 times this week the statement that all Iowans will chose a side this week. No we all won't. The headlines and lead sports stories on Sunday were all "Both state teams win".

          It may be good business, but the media hate ever having to mention UNI for anything and do everything they can to hold UNI down.

          The other day they gave a quick report of which Hawkeyes and Cyclones made the cut with NFL teams. Did they mention LJ or Howard? Same thing on draft day, same thing with the olympics, every story they do in any sport they bring in the Iowa and ISU angle and leave out UNI. I could give 10 examples every week without even paying attention. It's not by accident.
          this, this, this & 100 times this. Amen brotha'

                    This has nothing to do with the OP, but it's simply amazing how EVERY thread on this message board devolve into the same basic 5 arguments. Holy cow.

                      the Register does a lot more for UNI than people give them credit for. Perspective folks, we are a distant #3. Sell out McLeod and the UNI-Dome, make MORE noise, donate to the PSC and maybe things would be different.

                          This is so true unfortunately. UNI coverage here is awful. Our football scores are rarely shown on TV and there is usually a small article in the QC Times on Saturday and Sunday but thats about it. There are no local sports radio shows that I know of - the closest coming from CR and we all know what that means. It is also frustrating that there is no radio station locally that carries UNI games. I get KXEL in some areas but its pretty hit-and-miss. I really wish they would offer live streaming

                            Okay, I'm the one who said it, so I'll confess to being wrong. I went back and checked and there was no headline that read exactly "both state teams win". The front front page of the register on Sunday at the top had an Iowa picture or logo on the left and an ISU picture or logo on the right and as a joint headline that read "winning starts". On the front page of the sports section they had Iowa again on the left taking up most of that side of the front page and ISU again on the right taking an equal space with another joint headline which I now cannot remember, but it was not "both teams win". It was just something that generally gave that impression but not that exact wording.

                            So congratulations TH, you caught me.

                            As a side note a couple Sundays ago they had a special 10 page section previewing Iowa's season, then the following Sunday they had a special 10 page section previewing ISU's season. As I've said they go to great lengths to insure they provide equal coverage to those two. Not sure if they ever did any preview of UNI because I don't get the daily paper anymore. I have only been getting the Sunday because it was free at Kum & Go with a fill up. Now that has gone to 99 cents so I won't be getting the Sunday paper anymore either. It isn't worth a buck to me.
