OK, had some bad luck Friday...house broken into. OC Sheriff department is on the case. Anyway, because of this I miss the Pirate scrimmage Friday. So, I do something I normally don't do and invest $1 in the Beaumont piece of crud newspaper on Saturday morning, turn to the sports section and there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about any of the scrimmages in the paper. I'm sorry, but the biggest sporting event in this area is high school football and you have nothing? Last dollar I waste. I'll buy the Vidorian from now on....

Internet advertizing $$ is puttin the $ hurt strain on alot of newspapers.Bad economy adds fuel to the fire.You should see the Baytown Sun all 4 pages of it.BOT hope they catch/prosicute the thugs that broke in.Theft is on the rise everywhere & most times they get probation.Been there in your shoes & judge ordered no restitution.

Most media services have to staff up to cover football because it so exspanaive and difficult to cover right.  These usually have not budgeted to cover until week zero. In addition, what drives ability for coverage is ad sales and for news papers, paid currculation as well. Very hard to justify the cost of covering scrimmage schedule and trying to cover half assed is worse than not covering. TV just uses scrimmages to practice unseasoned cam/reporters so they are not throw to the dogs in a couple of weeks.

I wouldn't put great stock at all in the Beaumont 'Suprise' whatsoever.  They only cater to MC athletics most of the time.

Maybe they are catering to the people that actually buying the papers.

[/quote]If that's the case, then go the whole 9 yards and change the name if that's where their revenue is comming from.  Most Beaumont people could realy care less.  Most of the stuff in the suprise isn't worth reading sportswise.

The horrible sports coverage (mainly Beaumont teams) from the  Beaumont Suprise is  one of the main reason I signed up on this website many years ago.

You coming to the Ant Mound this Friday?  Be good to see you, especially if you wear that shirt.  ;D

I don't  know.  I'm not crazy about traveling to see a scrimmage.  Besides, I have a friend that invited me to the [b]West Brook/Lufkin Scrimmage [/b] on the same day.
