We shouldn't complain about getting national coverage BUT "The Streak" is becoming a tiresome yarn for the press to spin; will we STILL be reading about it in 3-4 years?

I don't care... milk it as long as we can. We can't even get coverage in the Indianapolis Star.

We did it. Gotta own it. And we wouldn't be getting this coverage without it.
 
''Professors congratulate them and I never see mocking or downgrading of players now,'' said Justin Todd, a senior majoring in social studies education. ''It's been a real positive for this school.''

Which means this guy saw a professor do it. Guy should be fired IMO... mocking a student among his peers because the team was having problems? Classy professor there.

On what grounds? Not a fan of profs busting on students; but you have to have cause for termination
 
Pretty amazing:

"Consider, too, that Indiana State's 12 wins over the past two seasons are just one fewer than its total over the previous eight."

Like the line about attendance, too, even though most here still bitch about it and have unrealistic expectations.

Degrading students in their classroom in front of their peers. I'm sure there are some sort of professor conduct policy that would violate, no?
 
Maybe not fired, but punished? Definitely. You're an employee and the students are your customers.

BTW, I saw this story in the Seattle Times, The Boston Herald and papers from Huntington Beach to Macon to Minneapolis. Hundreds of papers across the country ran the AP article and can you guess one that didn't?

The Indianapolis Star.

The Idaho fucking Press Tribune ran the article but the Indianapolis Star didn't.

If you have a subscription to that rag, I ask that you cancel it. I have and I know a couple on here have said as much as well.
 
The best PR is free PR. This is the kind of PR that you can't buy! We should certainly be proud of the rebound after the streak. Back to back winning seasons, national rankings, in the mix for a conference championship, and a realistic opportunity for post season play all are a part in the success story made possible by that debacle.

Possible --- is the faculty handbook available? A search of it may enlighten all of us.

I remember profs berating the entire class for "not doing the work", did it cause the class to do the work in the future? I don't know; I was usually preppred for 75-80% of the "work" the prof was screaming about, so I wasn't in his crosshairs (that day...)

I'd still like to see actual proof of the "degradation" --- cell phones are everywhere, yet no player has captured it?

As we've all said; winning cures alot of ills.

Boda, after 38 years of receiving the the Star, I abruptly pulled the plug on it and at the same time, I wrote a letter to Karen Crotchfelt (Star President) and told her why I did. I might add, it did not have anything to do with this article. Plenty of blame to go around.

It's just sad and it isn't just because they fail to cover Indiana State. Their INDIANAPOLIS coverage stinks, too.

Aren't they starting to charge for an on-line subscription? They're 15 years LATE on that ---- doubt it'll improve coverage

Since I've never subscribed would they get the point if I called and asked to not buy a subscription?
 
They don't have the resources to cover real news, or even to insert an AP story about a state college, but they have the resources to cover IU to the point that about half the time, the lead "headline" on the indy star website is about IU basketball or football. Honestly, if I were a Purdue fan I'd be even more pissed...
