    Quad City Times

    I ask of you all if we could slam the editor of the Quad City Times as they haven't issue a single news story this year on the football team. I used to live in the Quad City area so its ashamed to say it when the paper won't even publish a story about a local named captain of the football team. I'm talking about Ryan Arnold from Eldridge, Iowa.

    His address is:

    North Scott grad...

    They are more concerned with getting stories about Western Illinois in their sports section than UNI! For years (I went to North Scott - Ryan Arnold's high school) the QC Times called Northern Iowa NIU!!!!!!

    They have no clue down there unless a QC area prep kid plays at Iowa, Illinois or Western Illinois!

    I've written to him probably a dozen time over the last couple of years! My parents still live there and always complain about the lack of UNI coverage down there.

      i've worked with the Times a bit, and they must not know that Arnold is a captain, otherwise I'm surprised that they would not run an article on him.... i don't remember much QC football players during my years at UNI except for Hoambrecker.

        Tons during my time...

        Kenny Shedd (Davenport West), Todd Harrington (Davenport North), Sylvester Brown (Davenport Central), Brendan Austin (North Scott)...not to mention Brian Jones from Rock Island and Tony Brus from Davenport West of men's basketball fame. Those are just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more Panthers from the QC area.

            i know a lot about those names, but in the past 6 years or so...that is since i was a freshman in 98, there haven't been too many QC guys up at UNI playing sports...

            batterson did a really nice piece on Travis Welsch when he broke the all-time hits mark for the baseball team, and he is from Muscatine, which is an outlying city to the QC, but still in the reader range.....

                Shouldn't have to...

                ...have dozens of QC area preps on the UNI teams to get coverage in a paper two hours from Cedar Falls. That paper goes out of its way to put stories about the University of Illinois in their sports section and ignores an in-state school in Cedar Falls.

                          Quad City Times had an article in today's paper. It's written by Doug Newhoff, the WCF Courier beat writer for the Panthers.

                          A step in the right direction?!
                          The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                            Mudrafan

                            Randy Scott played center for the Panthers back in the '70s including on the infamous Mud Bowl team which went down to Western Kentucky 14-12. He is the Bettendorf head coach and has sent several players back to Cedar Falls. The bottom line is that there is no excuse for the Quad City Times not to run at least a wire story on Saturday and Sunday.

                              The QC Times comes through with another story!!! Somebody is putting a bug in their ear! Good job!
