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

Yeah, I still get those confused. Wasn't Channel 10 the ABC affiliate at one point?

Hopefully people will take time to actually read the article.  The headline is typical, but the article itself is actually pretty spot on by Fennelly. I will not knock him for this latest work.

I am a concerted effort of 1. BTW, I know it's old school and childish, but it's the best I can do with 140 characters.

Yes. Before FOX came along, Channel 13 was CBS and Channel 10 was ABC.

I don't know if anybody else noticed or not, but there was not a single local station mic showing at Charlie Strongs post spring game interview. Not one. A lot of phone and recorders, and a single USF mic there. There is nothing on the websites of channels 8.10,13, or 28 about the game, either.

In contrast, check out Fox 19 in Cincinnati...

This sums it up for the "fickle" fan base..."People follow winners."

Sums it up for lazy ass reporters too. Why not go find the news?

The swipe was the suggestion that the fanbase = crickets

A tad hyperbolic, but not wholly inaccurate. Our attendance is improving, but it truly needs to continue. I was fine with the article. Hopefully, it motivates all those USF alumni that have season tickets to other state schools. Come back, your alma mater needs you.

USF is winning, now. They have the potential of going undefeated this upcoming season. That's hard to do, regardless of your OOC schedule and conference affiliation. They went out an hired a well known commodity in Charlie Strong. This could be an amazing season. There is no drama to manufacture. Everything is there.

This is Tampa Bay's university and Tampa Bay's television media refuses to cover it. Professional teams get all the free advertising they need. It's maddening to me.

Local media is in the market to make money. If our local fan base makes more of a stink about the lack of coverage, I think you'd see better coverage. Outside of the confines of the Bullspen, I haven't heard anything about a well concerted effort to bring attention to this issue.

Just a point of clarity, editors make the headlines. Writers write the articles.
