Mean Green a DR-C no show

greenjoe · January 21, 2020

After a historic 20 Point win last night over Rice, the DR-C sports page mentions the Mavericks, Derek Jester, Venus and the Braswell Girls BB. I didn’t see Bret last night but I didn’t look for him either. We had a good crowd and played well enough to be in a tie for first in CUSA yet nothing in today’s paper.

He was live tweeting the game, so he was following it in some capacity.

Second time in a couple of weeks. I mentioned it on Twitter and Facebook early this morning and sent an email directly to the paper. Brett was there...not his fault. This was obviously a conscious decision on the part of the paper...perhaps to "encourage" more folks to go on-line, but this is crap-ola! Even the Dallas Morning News put a small piece in the sports section about the win. So, don't want to here the "too late for publication" BS either. The game ended at the same approximate time our games have been ending for years...no OT either.

The publisher needs to hear...the editor needs to hear. Make it so people.

The La Tech win was no where to be seen on the DMN and any Tv. Very disappointing

I was disappointed the final shot didn't make the ESPN Top Ten.

Here's the situation:

The DRC is printed by The Dallas Morning News. Up until the last few weeks, the DRC was among the last publications printed each day. The schedule has since been changed by the DMN. The DRC is now the first publication to go to press, ahead of USA Today, all editions of the DMN, The Wall Street Journal and everything else.

That switch makes it impossible to get late sports in the printed version of the paper.

We are still covering night events. The place to get that coverage has just changed.

Late sports are still added to our website and our e-edition every night.

We are not happy about it, but we don't have a choice.

Subscriptions to our website and e-edtion are actually cheaper than the printed paper.

Here's a link to the game story on UNT-Rice

And last night's hoops rewind

Here's a link to the UNT-Rice content in the e-edition, which is like a combination of a paper and our website.

If you are already a subscriber, you have access to our website and e-edition.

We have subscription options that start at 99 cents a week.

We're still here and don't plan on going anywhere. We were just forced to change the way our readers access our late sports content.

Would this happen to Duke or Gonzaga or Kansas? I doubt it. Smells of Oklahoma State and SMU.

I was wondering why my paper was hitting my driveway at 4:30 am these days.

I watched highlights of the LaTech game on two local news channels. Channel 11 and I believe Channel 5.

It used to be free until a couple months ago. Now I go to meangreensports.com and read their FREE content.

Same. I feel bad for Brett, but he can’t control what the DRC does. Sadly I fear he is just alone for the ride. The quick downward spiral of a ride it seems.
