Skyline Sports article on Kenny Van Ackeren

Ken, you're comparing apples to oranges, or at least getting them mixed up. The SID office is not a media outlet. The Missoulian, the Billings Gazette, the Great Falls Tribune, the Kaimain and the local TV stations. Those are the major media outlets that cover the Grizzlies full time. It's not even remotely close to the same as the SID's office at UM. The stories that come out of the SID office are not intended to be seen anywhere else than on gogriz.com and umont.

Having said that, KVA has gotten plenty of props in the media as far as I've seen. And I'm sure Kyle Sample is planning to do a feature or Game Day cover story on him at some point this season. Kyle's coverage of the Griz has been outstanding. I just don't see your complaint about Stitt promoting his offense either. In fact, I'm not even sure what exactly you mean by that. I've been in on every presser so far this season, and he talks about the defense ALL THE TIME.

Aside from a splashy feature story, which again, I'm sure KVA will get at some point, I'm not even sure what your crusade is exactly about.

SID, Sports Information Department?

Most NCAA Division I (FBS) Athletic Departments promote their student athletes, especially their preseason academic, athletic or both All-Americans.

Obviously, I don't know Kyle Sample or anyone in the SID office, but I do know how to promote athletes by making connections with sports writers and I'm KVA's biggest supporters from afar. :D

Just the fact that we're communicating is part of the promotion process and sharing of knowledge. :thumb:
