Yeah, he is their beat writer, but why is he writing the article for both games? Have the writers do their home games. You can tell this guy probably just read the box score and called it good.

I mean, he is the Jacks beat writer. I loved the jab in the last line though. "But the Coyotes earned 41 shots from the foul line compared to 22 for SDSU." SDSU fouled like 4 times in the final minute. Actual fouls numbers (not shots) were SDSU-26 USD-20, so discounting the hack fouls at the end, SDSU was really only called for 2 more fouls. Agreed, not to mention the 5-6 potential and ones that were on the edge of falling in. There was chatter of unfair officiating on the bunny board from people who listened to the game on the RADIO...pure comedy. More facts from the bunny board: SDSU is the prohibitive favorite still this year, and the summit league actually already announced the next 5 womens bids from our conference will goto SDSU starting in 2016, so teams are being told to look at other conferences as they will be forced to automatically forfeit any games against the jacks in years to come for sake of saving time and humiliation.

Did not see this before. Went to their website and the only thing I could find on my phone was the other story.

We need a new beat writer. Mick's article is horrible. It talks about State most of the time and praises them non stop on top of giving light hearted compliments to the Yotes. Vandrovec was a true beat writer. State is really going to miss him and it will be hard to replace him. I'm not saying our beat writer needs to be as passionate as TV, because its tough to find someone that good, but I cannont think of one article where Mick is pro USD in it. We could win the national championship and Mick would reference 15 negatives about our team and 30 positives about SDSU or the other team.
Argus Leader I beg you to get someone different for the Yotes that actually cares. someone that stays past the end of the game,like in Creighton, for say. Not that the creighton game was good or anything. And writes true articles for the team he is writing for.

I just wanna point out that I think Jeremy Hoeck does an absolutely stellar job of covering USD athletics. I'm not saying I want the Argus to hire him specifically (don't know if he'd leave anyways), but how can the P&D have someone so dedicated and the Argus have such an apathetic writer?

The Argus had an article today featuring Contreras. It was authored by Mick Garry.

I agree with Rachel on Benihana's. I've went there on each of my San Fran trips.

Jay Elson from Midco does one hell of a good job for the Yotes as well. I have always been happy with Jeremy as well. Mick could learn a few lessons from both of them.

Not thrilled with the Argus, but I don't have a problem with Mick. In fact, I enjoy his work.

As do I. He does what he can with what he has, I think.
