    Professor-Town Talk

    Question about the college football sectoin today. They had extensive coverage and an article about every college in the state near about, even Grambling, yet all they had was Tech's schedule. They didnt have any kind of an article that I saw. Did I miss it? Did Tech not interview with the Town Talk? Did the Town Talk just slight Tech? I wont to get facts before I make assumptions and I figure you could give me some insight on this.

    despite my objections, was told the only five teams that matter are lsu, lc, nsu, gsu and su. apparently, there's a large following for the swac in cenla. news to me. i actually haven't looked at the section, but i was very disappointed to learn tech wasn't going to be featured. all of the state schools should be featured in my opinion.

    I have already sent an e-mail. With Gannett taking over, I swear the bias has gotten worse. I dont know who to directly contact about this. I cannot find anything on the website.

    I did the same. Not that it will do anything (I don't have much leverage being that I'm not a subscriber). I told them it was SMALL TIME not to write about us, ULL, and ULM. Oh well...I hope some of you A-Town dawgs make a fuss about this.

    "Hi:

    We had a season preview on Louisiana Tech in last Friday's paper. We did a series on all the state schools."

    This is the reply I got from the sports editor. Being that I'm not in town, I don't know whether it's the truth or not...I have no reason to think he'd be dishonest. I do, however, regret that I can't find the Tech preview online.

    Guys, the Town Talk has always hated Tech. It was that way when I lived there from 78-83. The only news they would print about Tech was negative news.

    usually we only put locally-generated copy on the site, although there have been exceptions with ap saints stories. most of the time, though, if it's an ap story, it doesn't get up on the site.
