The swipe was the suggestion that the fanbase = crickets

Did not get that at all. Seems like more of a swipe at the local media of all things. Here's the lead off paragraphs:

Where are the cameras?

USF football coach Charlie Strong has asked that more than once after one of his open spring practices, a fresh slant for him, intended to let the media in to see his Bulls. But the cameras haven't been there a lot. Um, same goes for sports columnists. Strong wonders: Where is everybody, anyway?

If the practices were open to the fans and nobody was showing up, your swipe theory may have more legs. I think we are a little too thin skinned at times ..... myself included ... but I can understand why we would be a little gun shy.

Good point. First time I read it, I thought the Media weren't there because none of their readers cared (fanbase = crickets), but maybe I was too quick to draw that conclusion. Because Fennelly.

Unlike news articles I believe the columnists choose their titles.

I think columnists probably use their own titles for their online version but my guess is somebody else chooses for the print version .... and whoever's been doing it has been noticeably misleading with the wording in the past on USF stuff, and that continued this morning:

Strong to bay area: Uh, is anyone there?

Surprisingly channel 13 has had a BULLS segment on several occasions lately. Granted, it's the 6am segment, but until recently there was never any mention of USF unless somebody got arrested. They even talked about the baseball team this week!

Is that Tom Korun's channel?  I saw that he had a feature on Bulls Baseball.

New guy - http://www.fox13news.com/about-us/fox-13-staff/99191149-story

But Kevin O'Donnell was actually at USF for the baseball segment.

He's still there.

Neither site has any mention of USF online.

At least they don't have any Florida college sports on either ...

For accuracy's sake WFTS is channel 28, WTSP is channel 10, CBS affiliate. Channel 10's website has a college section in sports. They seem to cover the Bulls, at least the bad news, anyway. :D
