Saw some good local press coverage this weekend and some poor.
The good:
1. The RTD: The RTD did 2 great articles on the game and a specific piece on what the game meant to us. Yes, the covered the Weber injury, but that is a big story and deserved it's own article. They followed up with another story on UR today and what the victory meant to us.
2. Big Al: Big Al had CM on this morning and did a great UR focused interview. CM brought up the Weber injury himself and I think did a really good job talking about Briante and how devastating that injury was to him. CM frustrates the heck out me a lot of the time, but you can never knock the quality of his character. He didn't have to talk about Weber after our huge victory, but he did and spoke quiet eloquently about it.
The Bad:
1. Michael Phillips (RTD writer): First this guy does his poll of the Commonwealth teams and he has at 7th. He actually has Virginia Tech in front of us. Are you serious? And then I'm listening to McElroy this morning and he is talking with someone and this person is going on and on about the Weber injury effected him personally, how he almost cried when he learned the news. I thought it had to be someone from VCU who he was talking to. Nope, its Michael Phillips from the RTD. And the only thing he mentioned about us was how the "kid" from Richmond had the game of his life. Cause you know Kendall is not a first team all A-10 preseason selection, our all time 3 point record holder, and in fact has been on the RTD all commonwealth teams for the past several years.
